As if Lucile Packard doesn't see enough of us with Evie's heart, we decided to throw T into the mix with some ENT trouble of his own. To make a really long story really short--Talmage has always been prone to bloody noses, but in the last three months or so it's gotten beyond intense. He has been having at least one, sometimes two bloody noses a day. After trying every remedy our pediatrician suggested we were finally sent to a specialist at Stanford....

New Camera Love
Posted on 6:00 AM by paritory
James got us a new camera for our anniversary. He never cared much about our old camera (which has been slowly dying for the last few months), but since he spent so much time researching and plotting the anniversary surprise he is suddenly very interested. I mostly just want a camera to take cute pictures of the kids. Especially cute pictures that aren't overly fuzzy...and preferably ones that don't have a giant smudge in the middle of the screen.I...

Hats, Goggles and His Scar
Posted on 11:44 AM by paritory
The Stanford hat has not left this kid's noggin since it was bought. Except for maybe during swim lessons. But he got to wear his new goggles, so that made up for it. He touched the bottom of the pool. Twice. And is really learning to swim to and from Jeff. Jeff is singing "Twinkle Twinkle Dinosaur"--one of T's favorites. I really need to learn the words because he requests it often. Next week I need to loosen up them goggles...

We bleed blue...with a strong hint of Cardinal
Posted on 6:28 PM by paritory
We were excited and a little nervous when we learned BYU baseball was coming to the Sunken Diamond to take on Stanford. Excited because we LOVE BYU. Nervous because we LOVE Stanford. Who would be cheer for? What would we do?Talmage answered that question for us. He decided it would be a good idea to wear his BYU shirt and his Stanford hat. That kid is a genius I tell ya. Who wants to cheer for just one team when you can cheer for two? Although...

Those poppies gave me hope
Posted on 11:08 PM by paritory
Pretty much the first song a Mormon kid learns is "I am a Child of God". It eloquently teaches our beliefs--that we are all children of our Heavenly Father, that He loves us and that there is purpose to this life. We've been singing this song to Talmage since the day he was born, and it was the first song that he completely memorized (albeit with a few minor changes). There is one part of the song that talks about Heavenly Father "giving me an earthly...

Our Little Goggled Fish
Posted on 9:55 PM by paritory
If there is any question as to whether T-Bone likes swim lessons, please see the following picture:Yes, my friends, that goggled boy is LOVING life in the water. From begging his teacher to "wet him swim deeper, deeper again" to smiling outrageously big under the water to doing a back flip after the official lessons are over (Jeff literally threw T in the air, he flipped, landed in the water and came up all by himself) he thinks Tuesday's are...
Four Years
Posted on 6:30 AM by paritory

It was on a warm but rather windy April morning that James and I promised each other eternity. We did not know what life had in store for us, but on that day four years ago we knew that we would take on life together. I floated through April 24th wearing my red Chinese shoes and a love for my husband that was undeniable. He was the man I always knew was waiting for me--I knew it from the moment I met him--and he would be mine forever.I danced around...

Take me out to the ball game...
Posted on 9:14 PM by paritory
Could there be a better way to spend a Friday night? I don't think so. Stanford Vs. Arizona State at the sunken diamond was amazing. These four little monkeys ran and danced and ate and laughed and got into a good amount of trouble! Comfort and I just realized today that we only have six weeks left together in Stanford and that thought literally makes me sick to my stomach. What am I going to do?The cutest little fan ever. He is such a good...

Tea Party
Posted on 9:48 PM by paritory
Some friends had a tea party and our T was invited. All the girls were dressed in full princess attire and my boy loved the pink cupcakes!These two are almost the same age...like days apart! Evie is catching up quick, but boy the rolls on that baby C are unbeatable!Angie said the bubble machine was the best $15 she ever spent, and I agree. The kids chased bubbles around for the longest time and it was so much fun (for them and for the moms that got...
Cupcake Party
Posted on 9:12 PM by paritory
Cedar turned 2 1/2 and Comfort let me make the cupcakes for her half-birthday party! Luckily this little lady wanted pink cupcakes because I was itching to use the pink sprinkles James gave me for Valentine's Day. All I've got to say is that is my kind of flower garden!The birthday girl and her pretty Momma :) I had sparkle candles and we let all of the kids have candles on their cupcakes and they were SO excited. Talmage has become quite the...

What do you do when Stanford drops off a ton (literally) of sand in your backyard?
Posted on 9:10 AM by paritory
You take off your shoes.You roll up your pants.You use shovels and buckets and your own ten digits.And you play and play and play and play.At least that's what we did.And if it ever happens to you, we'd recommend ...
