November Photo-A-Day

Casey with a Cold is still Cute. 

Our neighborhood's roads have been torn up for about 6 weeks now (only 4 months to go). I'm so tired of the red dirt everywhere! Not to mention never knowing how to get to/from home. #overit

Enjoying a little trash tv now that Jenna's in bed. #rehabwithdrdrew

Grabbing a little dinner in between tennis shoe shopping and my HOA meeting.

Getting my hair did.

My new phone arrived today. I'm counting it as man made even if it is mostly machine. So exited to finally have a ringer and speaker!

Christmas. 

Glad to be leaving to snow and inversion. #lovestgeorge

I do love the Twilight soundtracks! #twilight 

It was a perfect day for a walk in Zion's. Our nature girl had a great time seeing the deer and collecting rocks and sticks. 

Base and case ready for installation. So stocked! #progress

My fabulous button bracelet.

#grateful 

Apparently I didn't get the wardrobe memo. Had a good day with you @mailemadsen

It's the quiet, repetitive sounds that drive me crazy. Lick, lick, lick.

One of Jenna's favorite things to do is find the "wairpwanes" as they fly by. I'm just happy that I live in a place where the sky is clear blue beauty for most of the year. #stgeorge 

Still working my way through my thin mint stash. #thinmints #itsaproblem

The leaves are still working on changing around here. It's beautiful! #fall 

Road trip prep. The car has been washed, vacuumed, scrubbed, and organized. Right down to conditioning the leather. #cleancarsdrivebetter #sandiegoorbust #homewardbound

The world famous Baker, CA thermometer. 

My sister's cute gratitude tree. #love 

October Photo-A-Day

And still do... 

A little lunch with Grandma Lor! (And Uncle Matthew)

Jenna learned to drive her new battery operated Lightning McQueen from Grandma Lor. Highlight: her patting the bumper and telling him good job. #sofun 

I'm totally a People.com addict. I'll admit it. 

Love her!

Friends that run the #stgmarathon 17 years in a row and get invited to go to St George's sister city in Japan and then invite me as their companion. (Worst sentence structure ever!) #cantwait #waytogoliisa #whatamigoingtoeat 

Love this app! Use it almost every night.

LOVE!

One of our favorite things is the way Jenna sits with her feet crossed. #cuteness 

Kept Jenna entertained with a slideshow of Disneyland on our flight to San Diego. She was a dream.

Jenna's giving Casey a "Rapunzel" kiss good-bye. She cracks up. #loveher #kisses 

Didn't text much today so I had to draw from yesterday.

Been working on organizing all of my digital scrapbooking stuff. #overwhelmed #ocd

Had a good family day watching Weber get their first win of the season in a nail biter at Southern Utah. #letsgoweber

Nick & @liisafrei are making amazing progress getting Dutchmans and Cravings rebuilt! #digdeepfordutchmans

Beautiful sunset tonight. #nofilter 

Jenna seems to think winter has arrived. Poor girl has got a nasty cough and a bit of a fever so I think this is her solution. #loveher 

...these are my people... 

Lungs... Daddy's turn and then Jenna's turn. Just a common cold. Nothing in the lungs. Yeah!

Rear view love.

Big, bright, and full {just like my moon}. PS. It was all I could not to post a picture of my backside, of which I have several, but there are too many impressionable minds that follow whom I didn't want to scar for life. #yourewelcome 

Our beautiful snow queen. She curtsies every time anyone gives her candy. Totally her (I'm sure from Disney). It's hilarious! #loveher #halloween

September Photo-A-Day

I was not great this month. Not really sure what was going on. My guess was that either too little or too much was going on and I just lost track...here are the ones I did manage to remember. 

Headed home after a great day in SLC! 

Cheers to you, Dad.

She's does feel so far away...and I miss her every day. 

No bills and a refund check for overpayment on medical bills (with a service date of May 2011?!) I'll take it!

She seriously brightens my everything! {even when she doesn't nap} 

Getting in the mood for tomorrow's adventure. We're a little worried about how many promises we've made to the kid! Oh, yeah we can ride the train, and see Pooh, and ride Dumbo, and the horsies aka the carousel. #hopealltheridesareopen #disneyland

I just spent the last 6 1/2 hours with dozens of volunteers, cleaning up the devastation at the convenience store and restaurant of our dear friends after a dike broke and flooded it. They came and kept coming, asking nothing in return. All the while Nick and @liisafrei, kept up their typical and legendary positive attitudes. They astound me! And as I lay here taking account of my day, I am overwhelmed at the love that was there this afternoon/evening. And grateful too for my neighbor for taking in my daughter so I could do my part, however small it may have been. My cup runneth over...

Spent another day digging out Dutchmans. There were a lot of volunteers. And I even ran into my brother in law for a bit! I love my community!!! 

Two of my all time favorite people. @mailemadsen reading to Jenna. My heart soared watching. 

Restarted my audio book at 4 am when I, of course, woke up again. FYI, Foxy Ladies, I've finished it, have you?! #bookclub

The damage to Cravings has forced us into cooking. Ugh!

Some of these are weird topics...here you go, my fridge. Plenty of dairy and soup. It's how we roll. 

Spent the afternoon transcribing Cravings' and Dutchmans recipes from underneath mud covered sheet protectors, wet paper, and bleeding ink. Between those factors and me not knowing how to read a recipe, it was a rough go for a bit. #digdeepfordutchmans 

My dinner tonight... #stillnotcooking

Sometimes I forget to post my photo a day or can't thing of anything to match the given topic. #stumped

Right now I'm staring up at our dirty, old fan and trying to decide if I can dissemble it enough to spray paint the brass portions oil rubbed bronze.
