Snow, snow...and MORE snow

By -
Amanda woke me up this morning saying, "I want to go outside and help Daddy shovel." Groggily I replied, "I'm sure Daddy's only going to be out there for a couple of minutes; then he's going to work." Half an hour later, she was back. "Daddy needs my help to shovel." What was he still doing here? I got up and looked outside. WHOA! We got some serious snow during the night. Sure enough, there was Logan outside, trying valiantly to clear our driveway and walks of all the white stuff. It was past the time that Logan has usually left for work. I guess he decided that rather than sit on the freeway for an hour and a half, he'd do something productive. By the time all was said and done, I think he was out there for two hours (in his work clothes -- which, as a sidenote, were DISGUSTING by the time he made it back inside. They went straight into the wash!). I'm worried about the commute he makes to USU three times a week. Sardine Canyon can be nasty, and it's dark by the time he's coming home. Everyone pray that I don't become a widow!

I promised Amanda that we would go outside to make snow angels after her nap. This means that I'm going to have to set a record for laundry folding (I am not kidding when I say that if the pile of laundry that needs to folded fell over on one of the children, serious injury might be inflicted). Ah, the glamorous life of a housewife!

Bruce! The blog looks awesome! (anyone else reading this right now is wondering who the heck 'Bruce' is...oh well...) You have done a very fine job with it thus far. I look forward to keeping better track of you this way as well since I feel like I'm not always the best friend you could ask for. What a beautiful little clan you've got!

The Longest Update Ever...

It occurs to me that every single one of my blog posts begins with some sort of statement about how long it's been since my last post. Let's all just pretend that it hasn't been nine months since I put anything on here, hmmm? Here's the real deal. For the last six months or so, I've been keeping up a weekly e-mail correspondence with a group of girls I've been friends with forever (the Ward Girls!). In a way, it's sort of taken the place of my blog updates. I save all the e-mails, and it's formed the most consistent journal I've ever kept. Anyway, here's a quick -- make that real quick -- rundown of the last nine months: Amanda's kindergarten graduation. There was a little program before the kids got their "diplomas." It was amusing to watch Amanda during the program; she took it so seriously! I felt like screaming from the audience, "It's okay to smile, sweetie!" Well, she smiled when it was over, anyway......

Summer is here!

Looks like my blogging has dwindled to one post each quarter. But they're marathon posts, right? So when we left off, I was about to go on a FABULOUS sister trip to Philadelphia, New York and Washington D.C. I made a photo book documenting the trip; I posted it as a separate entry after this one. Take a look and see what you think! If you can't tell from the photos...it was awesome! My sisters and I have decided that we need to meet up in a major city every few years. Next on the list? New Orleans! So that brings us to Easter! The annual Easter party with Logan's family is a big deal: A pinata for Easter? Why not?! The kids thought it was great! Deviled eggs + bacon + chives = YUM. (Isn't everything better with bacon?) Later, we headed to Grammy and Papa's for the traditional egg coloring. This is serious business... For Max, a pinecone is as good as an egg... Sorry for the excessive photos of food, but food is important. And if it's very good food, then...

How It All Began

Life has been busy around here lately! We've been completely preoccupied with yard projects and the like. I'll post some pictures later (we're not quite done; Logan needs to finish wiring the landscape lights). Anyway, I was talking with some people the other day about courtship stories, etc. I thought I'd share ours for posterity's sake... Logan was born in San Diego but has lived pretty much his whole life in Utah. His very early years were spent in Provo while his dad finished a master's degree at BYU. After that, the family built a house in West Jordan. He enjoyed a pretty typical upbringing (paper routes, bike-riding and scouting -- as you can see). When Logan was 12, his family built a house in Centerville. The stars began to align... Little could Logan have known that only a mile or so away, little Kara Baker was ekeing out her existence. I was born in Vernal but moved to a condo in Centerville at the age of three. Not long after that, my family moved to...
