Tidbits


Lori went out of town recently so we babysit the kitties. Whitney took this job seriously and did all the unpleasant scooping. She also made this kitty place center which they loved.


When the cousins were here visiting I took them to the pool two days in a row. My beach umbrella has seen better days for sure, but this time the wind really did a number on it. I feared other people would be recording me for Funniest Home Videos as I tried to turn it right sound out! It was frustrating and hilarious at the same time.


Our house is so small that I've had to get creative with jobs for the kids. I had Landon vacuum and wash behind the buffet (the vent there gets super dusty so it was good to get it done).


One day last week both kids stayed home doing their own thing and then ended up playing together just like old times.


One of Whitney's random vignettes...poor guy.


I bought a lot of fruit. I fear fruit. It seems like such a gamble because I never know if it's going to be good and it's such an ordeal to wash and chop it all, but I like having bowls of it ready to go.


Whitney "helped" with the fruit.


 How cute are these cds and player Whitney made?


I met up with Adam for a spontaneous lunch at JCWs, it was delightful.

Again, Whitney impresses me with her creativity. Lucky cats!

I'm the same way about fruit, if someone could just pick it out for me and then cut it evenly I'd be so happy. I always worry I picked the bad melon and my chopping skills are far from precise.

Of all your tidbits, I'm most smitten by your very pleasing bowls of cut fruit. Mmm.

That little cd player and the little cd's are so cute.

I'm with you on the fruit.

I bought watermelon last week and was so disappointed because it was all grainy and mealy. I do buy lots of produce weekly but it is a gamble as far as what it will look like and taste as far as the inside goes.

Is that a slinky muzzle on the panther? Hilarious!

I feel like vegetables are the gamble because I don't want to eat them as much, so I'm afraid they will go bad before we eat them. Fruit gets inhaled in the summer.

Whitney looks so old in the picture with Landon, freaky.

Cat babysitting would not be a good time for me. I'm glad Whitney loved it.

PS - Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!?
I fear I am totally out of the birthday loop this year... so sad. I had such big plans at the beginning of the year too. Not the best year at our house...
BUT IT'S GOING TO GET BETTER.
I am truly optimistic about it. In fact I would love to meet up one of these days on a trip to Provo!

anyhow--- it is so kind and so fun to see you commenting over on my blog. I am lonely for comments & yours have made my day now on several occasions.

GREAT JOB as usual on getting your kid to work & help around the house. Your kids (and their spouses) will surely thank you someday.
and yes- I agree, whitney looks so grown up? what in the world? these kids... they just don't stay little long enough. boo

So fun for the cats! And the cd player? SO ADORABLE!

I tie up gentlemen callers the same way. Heyo!

I can't get over how creative Whitney is! She's super talented.

I'm dying over Whitney's miniatures. Marc and the boys have been indifferent when I show them adorable miniatures. Is it a girl thing?
