This past week was a little more catch up, a little bit of fun, and the beginning of football season and preschool. Harvey and Beverly started at preschool on Monday. Beverly really seems to be enjoying it this year… Harvey… not so much. He hasn’t played as “rough” with the other kids as last year, …
At the beginning of the medical school journey I discovered a Facebook group called, “Lives of Doctor Wives.” Sometimes their stuff is ridiculous with surgeon wives saying, “Look at my new souped up SUV!” and there’s been some comical moments where a lady professed she was impregnated by a man at the gym who shared …
I know I’ve been blogging out of order, but I didn’t want to miss the kids’ back to school moment. So let me recap Utah. It was one of the quickest trips I’ve had. It was 12 days, but when you factor in a four day trip to Flaming Gorge and time with six siblings …
Max told us the Saturday morning after we got home, “I think our house is mad at us for being gone so long.” Why did he come to this conclusion? Could it be that his fish died, the back doorknob fell off when he went to let Daisy out in the morning, the soda exploded …
We had a blast on the farm with the Jacksons. Some hard work in the mornings, swimming in the afternoons and ending the evening with a bang! We even got to sneak away to their nearby Lake Tyler. We swam and the kids rafted. It was a blast. Afterwards we went to Jacque’s house to …

It’s a semi-annual tradition that we look forward to! I was so happy Andy could join us this time. It was also the easiest …
The past three weeks we’ve got to celebrate Andy in a number of ways. First with the military graduation, then with father’s day, civilian residency graduation, and finally his last day as a resident. He was the last third year to work, which was probably due to the fact that he was one of four …
This week was a celebration of long awaited events, as well as a few mishaps. Let’s start with the good stuff. Andy is FINALLY coming to a close of his medical training. Four years of undergrad (not to mention his military medical training, four years of medical school, and three years of residency! It is …
Previous to this Memorial Day, I truthfully thought little of the meaning of the holiday. My family and I would go put flowers on Tom’s grave when I was younger (they still do, I’m just too far away to join them). Once my parents moved to Utah, I believe they occasionally take part in placing …
This week’s blog post is going to be a tad lazy, since most of my time is spent entertaining the kids for summer vacation. We’ve been to the pool nearly every day, the lake, and had lots of fun at home. Here is my talk from Sunday and I’ll tell you more about the beginning …
