In an attempt to catch up family with some current events I’m going to share a bit about my boys’ recent Birthdays. My boys’ Birthdays are two days apart. Owen’s is on May 30 and Perrin’s is on June 1. It’s also kinda fun that they each got their own month. So we like to […]

Some of my favorite conversations between my boys occur on the way to or from school. This morning Perrin was talking to Owen on the way to school. They were talking about normal things for them, including video games, when Perrin says the following: “I never blinked when I was little.” This caused me to […]

I snapped this photo yesterday and I just love it! The look on Perrin’s face is priceless. He’s been so excited to have a dog and just loves Sammy, so he’s always happy to get big wet puppy kisses.

We finally come home on Friday with our little Norrobttenspets bundle of fuzzy cuteness! We picked up Sam from the breeder in the afternoon and have been in puppy love ever since! It took us until today to name him, and we are excited about our choice. His full name, if you will (yes, I […]

Yesterday, Saturday, we had a Gunnell Family activity day. We had a lovely hike, that I’ll have to post pictures of later this week, followed by an afternoon of visiting, food, and this: I don’t know when it started, but there is a fun Gunnell tradition that the siblings enjoy called the Egg Roll. It’s […]

Twelve years ago today, Don and I were sealed in the Los Angeles Temple on a wonderfully overcast day! We had fun dancing at our reception to music we compiled on a tape – to think of how easy that would have been with today’s iPod! LOL! I tell ya, technology keeps getting better and […]

Getting this up by the skin of my teeth, today turned out to be quite an adventure. Wishing a Happy Birthday to my favorite guy! I love you!

This is why I’m cutting fabric for jackets today. This silly boy is still putting on his kitty Halloween costume several times a week.

When we went up to Morro Bay during Thanksgiving weekend, we were lucky enough to be there when the seals are, too. There were seals lounging by the pier during our morning walk to Carousel Taffy (thanks, Denier!). It was really cool to see them up so close! The picture above has got to be […]

When Don and I got married 11 years ago, we started a Christmas tradition of including a train around the bottom of our tree. Neither of us grew up with this in our own homes, we had different traditions growing up. I think it really started with the idea of “wouldn’t it be fun” when […]
