Strawberry Fields

By -

One of the best things about having a garden is seeing how excited the kids get to harvest the produce. Amanda doesn't look particularly excited in this photo, but if this doesn't make you crave a juicy, red strawberry straight off the vine...well, you're just not human.
Here's an Amandaism: Amanda loves to watch mine and Logan's wedding video. Once she asked me why she wasn't in it, and I told her she hadn't been born yet and that she was just a twinkle in her daddy's eye. Yesterday when we were coming home from our trip, one of the songs from our wedding video started playing on Logan's Blackberry. Amanda said, "Hey, this is from your wedding! Daddy, I was tinkling in your eye!"

The pictures of Benson are just perfect. What a sweet boy. My mom had three girls and a boy and she said my brother was really easy going as a baby. Benson probably knows that with three "moms" around he won't get away with anything. The two pictures of Amanda straight on make her look so old. It's amazing. It looks like you had a great holiday.

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...
