Stop and Smell the Roses: BIRTHDAYS ROCK!!!

http://joeandcassi.blogspot.com/2012/12/birthdays-rock.html

Dec 11, 2012. Today is my birthday! Every year, my Nan calls me on my birthday, usually between the hours of 5 and 6 am It’s her “thing.” And I love it. Last night, I even called her to ask if she was still going to call me at her usually time (jokingly, of course). And then we ended up talking for over an hour. I love her so much! This morning, her phone call came at 6:15 and was the best one I’ve ever received. It went like this and was said in a low, sultry, late-night-radio-show voice:. I have a wond...

Stop and Smell the Roses: August 2012

http://joeandcassi.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Aug 31, 2012. Fish Lake Relay: Richfield, Utah. On the 25th, Joe ran in the Fish Lake Relay in Richfield, UT. He has a bunch of family down there and his Uncle Paul (who is more like a buddy than his uncle) is in charge of the Richfield Parks and Recreation. He planned and organized this race and then ran in it with Joe and 4 other guys. The race was 100 miles! Joe’s Grandpa Carl, officiating the race. 6:30 am And the race begins. Go Paul! Yes, that is the sunrise. SO. EARLY. This guy was amazing! This i...

Stop and Smell the Roses: Christmas Program 2012

http://joeandcassi.blogspot.com/2012/12/christmas-program-2012.html

Dec 10, 2012. The kids had their Christmas program last week, on the 5th, and it was AWESOME! Well… except for one thing. Their music teacher, Mrs. Held is INCREDIBLE. Like… out of this world. I don’t know how she gets a bajillion kids to sing, in sync, without stepping out of line or goofing off! Unfortunately, I didn’t get a video of any of Connor’s songs. Not like I really needed it. I think this picture says it all. Here’s a few more from the night. And sometimes best enemies. ;). Such a fun night!

Stop and Smell the Roses: September 2012

http://joeandcassi.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Sep 30, 2012. This afternoon after church, Joe, the kids and I and my SIL and her family drove South of Green River to Deep Creek Canyon for a little picnic. We only got to stay for a few hours before it got dark but we got a little hiking in and had great company. A trip well worth it! OK I have no idea what was going on here. I looked over and Connor was walking towards the camp and was unbuttoning his shirt. When he saw me whip out the camera, he wasn’t too happy with me. 8230;this is what he did next.

Stop and Smell the Roses

http://joeandcassi.blogspot.com/?zx=d37f1c9fa711d82

Jan 30, 2013. I’m getting that urge to blog, lately, and I love it! The only problem is… what do I blog about? Before, I had tons of stuff to blog about but couldn’t find the motivation. My Nan had to have surgery and my aunt (L), my mom and Nan’s husband, Bob thought it would be funny to make fun a bit. Another family gathering I wasn’t able to be a part of! My Nan, cousin Trever, Aunt Shannie, my sister, Kelli (R) and my mom. Isn’t Kelli funny? My step dad, AKA Grampa Larry! Links to this post. Naptime...

Stop and Smell the Roses: June 2011

http://joeandcassi.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Jun 21, 2011. This last weekend, the kids and I drove to Fort Collins to see Joe. His new job requires him to work there for a couple weeks at a time, and then he gets to come home for a few days before going back. SO- I decided I didn’t want to be away from him for that long and away we went! Five hours later, we were there! And Fort Collins is AMAZING! I love it there. I could totally live there… except for the fact that it’s 20 hours away from my family. See that bump on Maggie’s tummy? These are all ...

Stop and Smell the Roses: November 2012

http://joeandcassi.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Nov 29, 2012. O’ Christmas Tree…. This was one of those days where I kept thinking, ‘Now, this is a GOOD day! 8217; The weather was GORGEOUS, much to Joe’s annoyance… He is under the impression that looking for Christmas trees should be done in a blizzard. Weird, right? I, on the other hand, am perfectly content to look for my Christmas tree in 50 degree weather and then decorate it while it’s snowing outside. Best thing I’ve ever done in my whole life is teach Maggie how to pose. SO FUNNY! Connor picked...

Stop and Smell the Roses: April 2012

Apr 26, 2012. Cute quilt giveaway over at Scattered Thoughts Of A SAHM! Go check it out! Cassi @ Stop And Smell The Roses. Links to this post. Apr 23, 2012. Whole days since my last post and I am STILL struggling to find something exciting to write about. The whole house has had one illness after another. One by one, the kids each came down with bronchitis. Maggie got the least of it, but also caught my sinus cold. Cleaning up snot is so fun. Calmly said, “THE BATHROOM IS FLOODING! HAPPY MONDAY TO ME!
