Where in the world...

is Carmen Sandiego. Or Janae Allbee?

On Facebook. But I have found that there are so many holes in what I want to share, how I want to share it. So my fickle self has returned to the blog. (Let's see how long it lasts).

Summer is upon us. We are busy. Addie turned 1. She is now officially walking more than crawling (I think). Nicole is Nicole. What can I say? She's charming and cute and fun and getting smarter and more demanding and driving me crazy. Haley finished her first year of school and in addition to her achievement awards won an award for only pulling her card (misbehaving) once the entire year. And the one time she pulled her card was for not putting her name on her paper (lame). Jeff finally finished his MBA. Yay! Perhaps now we will have a more normal life. Nah. What's normal anyway?
And I have been managing the masses--keeping everyone sane--myself included. Whether through a book or bike or my new found hobby, gardening. Our garden is growing and producing and I have never felt so grounded in my life. We have squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, strawberries, bell peppers, and hopefully some corn. So if you ever feel a little too nebulous and disconnected, I highly recommend planting a garden. Here is one of the fru-its of our labors:

I've been tagged

Holley, got me out of my non-blogging slump.

The Rules:
1.go to the document/ my pictures site on your computer
2. go to your sixth file
3. go to your sixth picture
4. blog about it
5. tag 6 people



It's a pretty good one. Hawaiian Temple in Laie. We visited in June 2007 with our entire family. It was a gorgeous day to see a beautiful temple.

And I have to post the picture before it, too. It is of Haley standing next to her name that she wrote on the cement with an altoid her grandma gave her while we were waiting to go to the airport. Can you see the H?


Nancy, Jayne, Alli, Melinda, Stacy, and Melanie--let's see what you have...

We're awake

After a month plus of blog sleeping I finally decide to wake up...


We have had such a fun and busy month that blogging has been the last thing on my mind.


Christmastime was filled with gingerbread housemaking, kindergarten programs, piano recitals, parties, lightseeing, and lots of family fun. I am glad to get back to normal life again. Although, this week we will take another break from normal life and trek to Utah for my brother's wedding.


Haley and I are looking forward to real winter. This 80 degree stuff is killing us. :)
