Breakfast With Santa 2011

Brooke — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 06:15:29 +0000

*I’m going to try and update with our Christmas pictures and then we will see if I can blog better in 2012! * One of our favorite family Christmas traditions is to go to “Breakfast with Santa” at the Grand America with Grandma Wendy and Grandpa Russ. The kids get all spiffied up in their [...]

Pumpkin Carving and Spider Oreos {Halloween 2011}

Brooke — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:00:01 +0000

Each year we carve pumpkins and each year I wonder why we don’t just paint the pumpkins—nobody loves scooping out the “guts”! But in the end it’s worth it when we light the candles and see how cool they look on the front porch (and when we eat roasted pumpkin seeds later on). Everyone designs [...]

Pumpkin Patch {Halloween 2011}

Brooke — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 05:00:55 +0000

Lookie, I’m actually blogging!!!! I’m just going to jump right in to some Halloween memories while they are still fresh! First up–the traditional visit to the pumpkin patch. {Ahhhh, October was beautiful here. I’m still dreaming about it as I look at the crusty snow out on the lawn.} We visited a local farmer’s patch [...]

Fun Ideas Using Silhouettes

Brooke — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 03:48:20 +0000

A few months ago I taught at a digital scrapbooking retreat and showed how to create silhouettes from your own photos in Photoshop. Silhouettes are a big trend right now everywhere, especially in home decor, so it was fun to come up with some personalized art projects and gifts using silhouettes of our kids. There [...]

Bridal Veil Falls hike

Brooke — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 22:49:29 +0000

A week or so ago the weather finally decided to be nice (after a record wet May) so we took the kids to Provo Canyon to “hike” Bridal Veil Falls. I use the term “hike” very loosely; someone riding on a jazzy could easily take on this trail! But we love it anyway because it’s [...]

Well, hello there!

Brooke — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 05:09:09 +0000

Hi! Remember me?!? Okay, it’s been so long that I’ve almost forgotten how to post on this darn thing. As Haylie would say, “Holy Moly Spicy Guacamole!” Life just has a way of being busy and fun and difficult and tender and joyful and stressy and inspiring and frustrating and full of love and sometimes [...]

Remission?

Brooke — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 12:00:32 +0000

Earlier last week I went up to Huntsman with the girls to visit Grandpa Judd. Generally the kids liked going up there. They liked to see Grandma and Grandpa of course, but they also liked ordering shakes and smoothies from the yummy cafe/room service up there. One day Annie and Haylie discovered that the chair [...]

BYU Pancakes {and other random pics}

Brooke — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 04:44:44 +0000

This morning we had pancakes. Just for fun, I dyed the batter blue to celebrate BYU’s awesome win last night over New Mexico in the MWC and Jimmer’s crazy 52 point record. Brandon is a big Jimmer fan so I made him a “Y” as well as a “32″ which is Jimmer’s jersey number. It’s [...]

Disneyworld Part 2: Animal Kingdom

Brooke — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 05:32:56 +0000

The whole time we were in Orlando we had a variety of weather. Mid 70′s and humid, pleasant mid 60′s, and chilly torrential rain mixed in every so often. Which made for very poofy poodle-ish hair on me. Thank goodness for hats. The day we went to Animal Kingdom was the torrential rain kind of [...]
