Simple Joy--The Birch Family: March 2013

http://jeffandsarabirch.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 12, 2013. January, in a Nutshell. Here's a drive-by look at our January. This is what my living room looks like most afternoons. The boys were playing with Porter's new birthday toys (and pushing him around in his new walker). Porter fell in love with this Ugly Doll, Grandma Larsen got him for Christmas. He calls it his "Baby" and says, "Baby, baby" whenever he sees it. He likes to snuggle with it and this is an attempt by me of trying to get a picture of it. The day they came down, we all...

Simple Joy--The Birch Family: October 2013

http://jeffandsarabirch.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 17, 2013. About mid-June my little Jonas man lost his first tooth! He had been working on his wiggly tooth for quite a while and he finally let Jeff pull it. About two weeks ago he lost his second bottom tooth. It was very loose, and just barely hanging on, but he refused to let Jeff pull it. One day it just happened to fall out and he has no idea when or where it happened! Links to this post. Thursday, October 10, 2013. Shopping at City Creek. I took the day off! After lunch we headed ...

Simple Joy--The Birch Family: Topaz Mountain

http://jeffandsarabirch.blogspot.com/2014/02/topaz-mountain.html

Monday, February 17, 2014. In October, Jeff's sister invited us to go to Topaz Mountain with her and her boys. Our goal was to gather together a bunch of Topaz to give to Jeff's Dad for Christmas. The day was perfect and the weather was mild (I couldn't imagine trying to do this in the heat of the summer, yuck). Topaz Mountain is about two hours south of our house in the middle of the Utah desert. At first we found pieces of Topaz just laying in the road. Kris, Mason, Alex, Jeff. Kevin and Lisa Foster.

Simple Joy--The Birch Family: August 2014

http://jeffandsarabirch.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 24, 2014. Back in May our little Jonas turned six. Its hard to believe he is already that old. He woke up on his birthday to find a nice large present waiting for him. It is something that he'd been begging us for for over a year. It was something that Jeff and I thought was way too pricey for us to justify so we asked grandparents to pitch in. When he finally opened it, he was beyond excited to see his very own Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon! Seriously, this child is such a climber!

Simple Joy--The Birch Family: Boating at Strawberry and Utah Lake

http://jeffandsarabirch.blogspot.com/2014/02/boating-at-strawberry-and-utah-lake.html

Monday, February 17, 2014. Boating at Strawberry and Utah Lake. These boys loved to ride up front and get splashed. I love this guy. Carson tried wake boarding! Its crazy that he's old enough to start doing things like this. This is most certainly my kind of camping. Maybe its because I spent so much time camping and rafting with my dad when I was little? We also went tubing at Utah Lake one afternoon. Its nice to live so close to a lake. This is Jeff's "I got too much water in my face" look. My Name is ...

Simple Joy--The Birch Family: February 2013

http://jeffandsarabirch.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 22, 2013. Hernia Repairs, Round Two. The next morning Mason and I were at the Primary's hospital wing in Riverton at 6AM. After checking in, we were taken upstairs to surgery. We noticed that the waiting room was donated by Jeff's employer. Of course we had to text Daddy a picture. Mason was taken back to a room where they got his vitals, and changed into a hospital gown. They gave him this puppy and he instantly fell in love with it. Heading back to surgery. After almost 24 hours of no ...

Simple Joy--The Birch Family: April 2013

http://jeffandsarabirch.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 27, 2013. Last weekend we went up to Idaho. One of my main reasons for going was to go visit my Aunt Val. She is leaving this next week on a new adventure and I'm not sure when I'll get to see her again. Me, my mother, and Aunt Val. She and my Uncle Brad are packing up and moving to Hershey, Pennsylvania. Yes, Hershey-. The town that smells like chocolate! They have taken jobs at the Milton Hershey School. Have you ever looked on the back of a Hershey bar? Links to this post. This year we...

Simple Joy--The Birch Family: Jonas' Kindergarten Graduation

http://jeffandsarabirch.blogspot.com/2014/08/jonas-kindergarten-graduation.html

Monday, August 18, 2014. It never fails that the school year always go by so quickly. Who told these kids that they could go and grow up so fast, because I certainly didn't! Since I've been terribly behind on blogging, I thought I'd do a quick round up of Jonas' Kindergarten experience. Overall it really was a great year for Jonas and he thrived. In fact he absolutely excelled in reading and was reading on the same level that Carson had been on half way through his 1st Grade year. He sure was sad...This ...
