We had a great day in Santa Barbara today. We passed my hometown of Oxnard on the way there and it always makes me nostalgic. Even SB makes me a little nostalgic. We went to East Beach Park near the Santa Barbara Zoo and just driving by there, it reminded me that when I was…
Baby: He is getting BIG. Like difficult-to-carry-around-BIG. He always wants to be near me, especially if he can cling to my legs. When he wants Daddy, no other person will do. He shouts “Hey!” about 100x’s a day to me and to everyone he meets. He can show you his ears, mouth, belly, arms, and…
The husband and I were the type of couple who went to the movies 2-3 times a month. Sometimes more. And there was always food involved. Dates were all the time! It’s so easy when there are no kids. But everyone knows too well that as soon as the chitlins arrive, date nights are a…
Stevie survived yet another surgery! This one was “easy”… Or as easy as they come, I suppose. A short, outpatient procedure. We were in the hospital at 5:30am and back home by 11:30am. It still felt like the longest day in history though. They corrected his Esotropia, although I don’t know how they did it, besides what…

The month of May according to my Instagr.am feed. Here comes June. And summer. And oh my goodness.
If you watched the Season Premiere of Gene Simmons Family Jewels (#GSFJ), you may have noticed in one of the opening scenes that some of the wedding pictures I took made a little appearance on screen! OK, maybe not so little… They also put together a couple cute montages to transition to the next scene……
I know everyone and their dog enters contests like this. So we figured we’d throw our bean into the mix too. Why not. If you feel so inclined, we would love a few votes for this little monkey. VOTE FOR ME!
It started and ended in St. George with a little Salt Lake City in between. There were good times. There were times when the kids were tired and grumpy and I thought they were trying to ruin my vacation. But mostly, there were good times. It was fun to spend some time with my sister…
