Hello all subscribed and connected in some way to our family blog! I began this blog with the intent to create photo books at the end of each year. I've not done it yet...started a couple times...but printing has not been done. So this blog remains on the web. When I decided to put artwork and more of our personal life out in the world we decided to give everyone else nicknames for safety.

This week was extra special because we got to spend three days with our beloved “Ressa,” my single and adorably talented sister Maresa. Despite her short break from Physical Therapy School in Las Vegas, she managed to make our week and visit us while on break! As she drove away yesterday morning, the builder looked on and declared, “Wow. Reesa so nice to visit us. I like it when Reesa comes to

(Sorry, the photos look better on the daily delights...I can put larger images on there)It was so fun to look at last year's photos and see how much the kiddos have changed...This year was exceptionally wonderful. Perhaps because...the kiddos had a blast...or because the new house Traci found was incredible...or that the dancer got to chill with her idol "big girl" cousins...or because I had

Just in case: we moved back to our condo in Midway and are very cozily happy! Garrett (one year on the 12th) is truly busy, busy. Taking a few steps here and there, but mostly busy getting into whatever he can. He is a lover. Kisses anyone who will let him and has a special adoration for music and babies. Anneclaire (2.5) is always drawing or dancing, painting, sticker-ing...she loves to create.

It's been a week or so of milestones. Garrett is still busy doin' his thing, loves to play with his siblings, empty everything he can find, explore, explore. He doubled his tooth count this week. 3 teeth in a matter of days: 2 came in Monday and 1 Wednesday nite. I could really use a full night of sleep! Speaking of teeth, Anneclaire is also working on some as well, though not as forthcoming as

Hi all,So get out your bookmarks, linklists, blogrolls...I have no idea who is reading our blog right now, but I'm notifying everyone just in case. Last nite byu called, asking for money (unlv called the day before), and wondered if kat-madsen@excite.com was still my primary email.

We had a great time at the Humanitarian Celebration tonite. Carsten, Anneclaire, & Jack spent most of their time perched up on the stage steps...a great hide-out for them as well. Rebecca and the primary kids did a great job singing.

As Carl & I were cleaning up after lunch this afternoon, Garrett had just fallen asleep, and Carsten & Anneclaire were outsite on their "boat." So nice that winter has held off a bit and allowed them some fun adventures in the sunshine. As we watched them, Carl pointed out that the neighbor's horse was near the boat and that he thought Carsten was talking to the horse. Later he noticed that the

A few more pics of our trip to temple square. Not sure if the kiddos' eyes have ever been this wide. Garrett was so ready for bed till he saw the lights. Fun times.So Garrett started crawling Wednesday nite. Fortunately he doesn't go too far yet. Anneclaire enjoyed just sitting for so many months. They are all so different! :)

This is Carsten's big little cousin Josh. Josh is 10 months younger than Carsten, but looks like he is a year older. :) Carsten loves his cousin Josh. He will be going into Primary in January, and he and his classmates have been visiting Primary the past few weeks. We were talking about how fun it will be for Carsten. But all Carsten could ask was why Joshy wasn't going to go with him. We

Carl & I have friends who have gone private, some going private, and have discussed our family's visibility...one reason I began thedailydelights and made it a bit more discrete. Not to worry, we're still discussing it and all, but there are days like today when you find links to yourself and wonder how visible you really are out there riding the waves of the www:and you see this or this...So

For a while now I've been getting excited for Christmas and the thought of sharing it with our kiddos who are getting old enough to enjoy it more this year. I want to do something special with them each day until Christmas. Something that they help me do and look forward to each day. I remember baking a Christmas treat with our mom each day for 2 weeks until Christmas. I'm thinking something

I just wanted to thank Chad and Andrea for asking about my family and their home in Yorba Linda. Saturday night they were evacuated and met several ward member families at the church house. Fortunately, my family is safe, as is their home. Unfortunately, many hundreds of families in the LA area have suffered damage, even the complete burning of their homes to the ground. Several family friends

Yes, it’s hard to believe, but other than a Star Wars: Episode III when he was about 3 weeks old, today was Carsten's first visit to the movies. My friend Lesa and I had chatted about taking our boys to the movies, a special, outing with just they and their moms.So this afternoon, we met Lesa and a couple of her friends and their kiddos for Madagascar 2. We arrived during the previews and though

She loves spending time with the kiddos and I made sure to bring in some of the wonderful books she has given them, to the restaurant. Dinner at the Bombay House was fabulous as always.

Show me the honey! Halloween was a big day, I had another rough spell of Mastitis and was very sick due to the medication I was taking. The kiddos and I somehow managed to get to our Music class with Miss Kristi and had a wonderful time. But that was all I could do.
