This adventure begins with a relaxing tune, maybe even a lullaby. Because we arrived at the airport waaaay past our bedtime. We knew there probably wouldn’t be much sleeping during the red-eye flight, but I was amazed at the people who seem to have a system down. Before we even got to our seats, I…
If I was a musician, I’d definitely make up a song about my latest adventures. This first one would be a country song. A happy little tune that you’d want to play during a backyard BBQ with your big ol’ family. Heavy on the guitar, I would sing about going to Utah, where we eat…
We aren’t much for church worship in this family. But on Easter Sunday we worshiped the sun, the food, laughter and togetherness. (The kids mostly worshiped the candy.) We enjoyed a few Easter traditions. And mostly loved seeing the kids together. Stevie is never happier than when he’s with his cousins. I feel that spending…
In a couple weeks, Paul will be transitioning over to a new show – a documentary style reality show about the LA Kiss football team. Did you know LA had a football team?! Neither did I. It’s owned by Mr. Gene Simmons himself and it’s part of the AFL (arena football league). They play indoors…
Can you even believe it’s been a year since my nephew passed away? The phone call bearing the horrible news is still fresh in my mind, vivid as ever. When I think about that day, it still makes me emotional. When I think about the helluva year that my brother and sister-in-law have been through,…
What a perfect weekend for an outdoor wedding. We were overlooking a golf course and the ocean. I mean honestly, so pretty and perfect for this couple. We had so much fun with family and we were so honored that Stevie was asked to be the ring bearer. You guys will die – or at…
… or LACMA for short. You all know what it is. There was free admission yesterday, so I thought I’d take the Stevie. We actually never even made it inside, but he liked the elevated mass, the tar pits and the light installation. Well he liked them second best to the stairs and the ramps.…
Stevie has really started to develop a thing for trucks and buses. Well that’s not true – he’s liked them for quite some time, but it was hard to tell since he called everything by the name of UH! So lately I’ve been encouraging him to tell me what he is seeing. He is getting…
Opening night at The Book of Mormonnnnn. I was there! What can I say about it? Everyone knows it’s insanely offensive and completely hilarious, right? I was a little bit nervous going in that it would be too offensive for my sweet, innocent little ears. I grew up as a Mormon. And even after I…
When you have some Marriott points to spare, what do you do? Well you take a girls’ trip to Vegas, duh. I live kinda far from my sissy and my Utah bestie, and I don’t get to see them nearly as much as I want. So I bribed them into meeting me in Vegas with…
