Total Mom-sense: April 2012
http://totalmom-sense.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 21, 2012. Eva posted some nice pictures on her blog yesterday. Here's a couple of my favorites:. And here's a couple of pictures of my new nephew (Kevin's boy):. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. This is a complaint post. I hate second grade spelling. All year, each week, the spelling lists have been nothing more than trickery and torture. Here's this week's list:. Is it just me, or is it just plain mean to put ph, gh, and ff on the same list? Monday, April 16, 2012. Her new ipod touch. I saw th...

Total Mom-sense: October 2013
http://totalmom-sense.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 27, 2013. Eva was the busiest this week. OK, maybe every week! Ethan was invited Friday to go to the BYU/Boise State game with his cousin D. That was definitely the highlight of his week! As an added bonus, BYU won the game! You don't even have to leave the house! Ivy was excited to play in the orchestra concert. She sat first violin first chair which was a surprise to us all! Ivy also got to go to the drive-in with friends Friday night. She loved that! Thursday, October 24, 2013. Preside...

Total Mom-sense: Sunday Summary #4
http://totalmom-sense.blogspot.com/2013/11/sunday-summary-4.html
Sunday, November 10, 2013. This week I have noticed people spontaneously doing kind things for each other. This week as Ivy was walking home from school one day she heard Ethan's voice behind her saying, "Hand over the violin! As if he were a robber. She gave it to him and he carried it all the way home for her. I love when they look put for each other! Ethan has also helped Nathan with his homework this week which has been nice for me! I will try to post a picture of him with the finished product. Fun t...

Total Mom-sense: December 2011
http://totalmom-sense.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 29, 2011. I have been loving this Christmas! Vince has time off he has to use and we are home together as a family. I don't remember the last time we could just relax and just enjoy our family at home. Delightful! The only thing I really haven't been able to do is take the kids sledding. Where is the snow? Thursday, December 22, 2011. He once got to work with Webelos for about six months but other than that he has mostly been in a bishopric or on the high council for most all of the 16...

Total Mom-sense: December 2012
http://totalmom-sense.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 4, 2012. The Christmas season is definitely my favorite time of the year! Between last week and Christmas a member of our family will perform somewhere 3-4 times a week between now and Christmas. I love it! We decorated our tree, set out our nativities, and hung a few lights outside. Still- there is no snow! Eva went to California with her cross country team. She had a blast! Ethan is loving that he doesn't have to perform any Christmas music this year but lamenting the fact that he has...

Total Mom-sense: Nathan's Not so Secret Admirer
http://totalmom-sense.blogspot.com/2013/12/lots-of-random-stuff.html
Tuesday, December 17, 2013. Nathan's Not so Secret Admirer. I am loving the whole Christmas season! School doesn't let out until Friday and I really wish it was sooner because the best part is when the family can spend time together. Eva has been performing 2-4 times a week since Thanksgiving. She sings with show choir, accompanied for them a bit, went to a Temple Square with Chamber Strings, and several other venues. I haven't seen any of those performances because she drives (yay! Nathan loves the snow...

Total Mom-sense: November 2013
http://totalmom-sense.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 24, 2013. I found this picture a couple of weeks ago and had to share it:. Ethan (4) has his trademark mischievous grin. Every time I saw that grin I had to wonder what he was thinking! He has always been an innovator, which at this age was disconcerting, but over the years has become a trait I really value! Tuesday, November 19, 2013. A friend made reference to this poem on her blog so I looked it up; it's great! One day through the primeval wood. But still he left behind his trail, And...

Total Mom-sense: February 2012
http://totalmom-sense.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 19, 2012. Congratulations to Eva for getting an opportunity to be in her school science fair! She did well there and moved to the district science fair, where she won the opportunity to be in the Region Science Fair at the U of U. Way to go Eva! I'll admit to never looking forward to science fair! Eva especially loves science but I never have- I think the whole thing is kind of a pain. Luckily for me Eva loves it so much she's willing to help with the others! Else who works with him!

Total Mom-sense: Sunday Summary #3 (Belated)
http://totalmom-sense.blogspot.com/2013/11/sunday-summary-3-belated.html
Monday, November 4, 2013. Sunday Summary #3 (Belated). We had piano recitals this week. Ivy played Friday night with the rest of my students and Eva played Saturday. They were both fantastic! Ethan went scuba diving with the scouts on Saturday. Nathan got another 100% on his spelling test. Two in a row! He also gave me a lengthy list to mail Santa this year. I believe this is the first Santa list he has ever written himself. Ivy's on the left and Nathan's on the right:. I LOVE the photos!

Total Mom-sense: The Calf-Path
http://totalmom-sense.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-calf-path.html
Tuesday, November 19, 2013. A friend made reference to this poem on her blog so I looked it up; it's great! It's intriguing to ponder why I do some things and if some habits, traditions are not as valuable as they might seem. I apologize that it's not recorded here spaced properly line by line. One day through the primeval wood. This forest path became a lane, that bent and turned and turned again; This crooked lane became a road, Where many a poor horse with his load Toiled on beneath the burning sun, A...
