He specifically asked for this one.I can't believe how much he is talking now. Full sentences that often times only make sense to me, but are very cute nonetheless. Some of his favorites: "man di tuck" (man drives the...

Lake Powell...really late

7:13 PM
We went to Lake Powell about a month ago...we are so busy! Peja absolutely LOVED riding the sea doo. He especially liked going fast and asked for "more, more, more" if we ever stopped. Then when we got home he got one of the long pillows from our bed, straddled it and started "vroom, vroom"ing and then falling backward. I didn't know what...

Happy Anniversary to Us!

We desperately need to take some good pictures, but here is one of us on our anniversary. 5 years! Life is SOOOO GOOD! We had a very nice date that night, and we are hoping to give ourselves a cruise in a few months when I feel more comfortable leaving Peja for a few nights. In other news...

Peja is 17 months...

Putting on shoes is the best. He has become quite an expert, and can even walk with shoes about 10 sizes too big. He knows that shoes have to be on before we can go outside. So he will put his own shoes on, then bring you your shoes and then pull your finger and say "up" to get you to stand up....

I DID IT!

4:03 PM
In January I signed up for a 10 mile trail run. I wanted a 1/2 marathon, but the closest, cheapest and longest thing that I could find was this 10 mile trail run in Napa on April 25. I figured that since it was trail it was a little harder then regular road races, so it would kind of make up for the...

My Nana passed away last night.Nana LOVED Peja. He was her first and only great grandchild she was in love with him. (I guess most people are. :))My Nana, mom and I at the famous Madonna Inn for a little birthday brunch last year. She always felt like such a strong, independent woman. It was very strange to see her in bed, so...

I was looking for more family time and money freedom, but I am getting so much more!One example: my mom and dad have been studying a lot about addiction for the last 5 years or...

And now I have THAT (see below) little darling running around all over the place. WEIRD! I teach the young women at church and it is so weird to me that someday I will...

More about Peja?

11:38 AM
I think this blog would be really boring for anyone who doesn't have kids or know and love this particular kid.Drinking smoothies in the morning with dad. He loves his dad!A little date with his friend Emma (she is almost 3). They have a lot of fun together when Peja isn't trying to pull her hair. (Is that inherent in all boys?)Driving cars...
