Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Uncle Paul is So Cool! He rides a motorcycle. Last weekend we got to go watch "Uncle Paul" (Jared's brother) race in a motocross event. It was an endurance race on a 6-mile track, so we only got to see Paul come around a handful of times. But that was enough for the boys! They were thrilled to be able to witness Uncle Paul in all his coolness! Paul - in black - passes by us, heading for a big curve on lap # 2. Paul circles around off the track and comes to greet his fan club! Mr Ru...

Monday, February 21, 2011. Exploring snow-covered OSV with my man Merrik! With Jonah in school all day, every day, our adventures w/ both boys are getting fewer and far between. But Merrik and I stay busy! Last week it was a trip to Old Sturbridge Village amidst the snow BUT it was. About 60 degrees out. YAHOO! Here they have a great sledding hill. He made a few trips up and down before surrendering to the slushy track. We'll return when it's frozen again - shouldn't take too long! SURE, why wouldn't.

Thursday, April 21, 2011. This was a beautiful spring day - took all the bikes for a ride and a picnic at The Quabbin. What a fun, gorgeous day! The Quabbin is a man-made lake, a reservoir actually, made in the 1930's when they relocated and then flooded four towns, dammed some areas in between and created this - 39 square miles of water to provide the residents of Boston with a clean water supply! Oh, and Boston is 80 miles away from here. Quite a project! Merrik's Preschool photo - Spring. He recently ...

Wednesday, November 13, 2013. August 2012 - watching the Reenactments at Old Sturbridge Village of those fighting for our freedoms long ago! Jonah (tall, in orange t-shirt) learning the ways of the rifle! Jonah and Merrik listened to these men telling stories for over 30 minutes! Some of the soldiers bringing their cannon back from battle. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The beginning of it all. Jared and I met here in beautiful New England 15 years ago.

Wednesday, November 13, 2013. In August 2012 our dear friends the Dawsons invited us to come and spend a week w/ them at their parents' beach house in Delaware. There was lots of boat riding, beaching, swimming, late night card playing and just plain fun! Oh, and let's not forget - for me and my pregnant self - lots of naps). Here's we'd anchored the boat and gone adventuring on a cool sandbar! Back on the boat to go check the crab pots! Watch that first step, Jared! Fun in the sun w/ my boys! Spent the ...

Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The beginning of it all. Jared and I met here in beautiful New England 15 years ago. After graduating from college (Idaho) and serving an LDS church mission (Florida), I moved to Boston for work. I had no idea then that I was going to spend the next decade living 3000 miles from "home" (California). But I must say, I managed to find a little slice of heaven here in Massachusetts. Oakland California LDS Temple. Busy mom of 3 boys! Merrik tr...

Thursday, March 17, 2011. Just to capture the moment for all of us! How can my lil' guy be 7? In the spirit of Jonah's recent 7th (! Birthday, this is a pic from his FIRST birthday! Then and now. Wow, seems like a blink and we were just back up there celebrating his 1st bday. Here he's holding the keys to his 'police handcuffs' which he got for his bday). A Helping Hand at Old Sturbridge Village. Jonah's feeding the sheep! He is a hands-on. Just one of the guys! To count on that spot next time. OH my Hea...

http://jaredandalli.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-tree-must-go.html
Wednesday, November 13, 2013. The tree must go. In August 2012, the town came and removed a dying tree from our yard. We were very sad. It was a nice huge oak that lined the driveway near the road. However, the process was fascinating for the boys to watch! The trunk is cut all the way down now too and we've got a nice sitting stump at the end of the driveway. Makes for good fun while waiting for the school bus! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The beginning of it all. Oakland California LDS Temple.
