the blogadillos: September 2011
http://theblogadillos.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
September 30, 2011. 6 months have flown by. I've come to the realization that I'm a terrible blogger, but I want to change that. My sister uses her blog as a family journal and had the first 3 years of her blog turned into a book. I want to do the same. So I'm going to start here and go back and work on the last few eventful months. Ila Jo is six months old! I want to remember what she was like at six months. Ila doesn't laugh very often, but when she does it's always for one of her siblings. She has two...

All About Evey: A Story Of Me and My Perspective on Falling in Love With Antonio
http://allaboutevey.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-story-of-me-and-my-perspective-on.html
Thursday, March 12, 2015. A Story Of Me and My Perspective on Falling in Love With Antonio. Once upon a time, I met a guy. Writing this stuff down is difficult. I'm speaking from hindsight. I'm speaking from the perspective of having found a good man. Last summer, I didn't have hindsight or or foresight. I had sadness and hopelessness. I had this little ache inside of me. As painful as it was, I still wanted to try. Tinder was the easiest way to try. But I decided that I needed to both broaden an...I nee...

the blogadillos: January 2011
http://theblogadillos.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
January 9, 2011. Only a smidge late. We had a great Christmas! Just our sweet little family. We started a new tradition of tamales for Christmas Eve dinner! After all the presents were opened we found a letter Santa had left. He told the kids to remember the reason we have Christmas and to thank them for being such good kids. Last, he told them to go look in the backyard for one last surprise. There was a trampoline! Almost more fun for mommy than for the kids. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I wante...

the blogadillos: June 2012
http://theblogadillos.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
June 14, 2012. For some reason, I always remember Brother Campbell, one of my high school seminary teachers, calling Hawaii, "Hawiiiii."). We finally took advantage of the opportunity to visit our friends in Hawaii. The Alexanders have been there almost three years now. It's hard to believe! Jason, Caleb, and Steve. Because it makes me smile:. Mmmmmwe waited about 2 hours (on a Thursday night! Janae told me that as we were walking into the airport Brigham said, "I miss them already." Then we got on t...

All About Evey: April 2015
http://allaboutevey.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. Nick is home from Scotland! He was there working for the Scottish Parliament. Last night, we gathered in Tremonton to enjoy a beautiful roast as a family. Jayson couldn't make it because he is treating his employees to a trip to Vegas, but the rest of us gathered around the kitchen table we ate at as kids and welcomed Antonio and Daniel to the family. My mom put out the good china and we ate delicious food and shared stories. It was so much fun to see the boys play together! I've ...

All About Evey: The Stranger in the Flowerbed
http://allaboutevey.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-stranger-in-flowerbed.html
Wednesday, April 2, 2014. The Stranger in the Flowerbed. I saw this shape pass in front of my office window. I hurried over to the door and yelled down the street. "Hey! Don't walk in the flower beds. Use the sidewalk please! He started towards me with this familiar smile. I cut him off with a polite thank you before he could start a conversation and shut the door. Two hours later, the rain started to fall. He came blustering into my office. He asked, "Where's the music you usually have going? I just sta...

All About Evey: A Wedding Post
http://allaboutevey.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-wedding-post.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Getting married requires a community. And over and over again, the community surrounds you, lifts you up and supports you into this beautiful new station. It is a communal feast of love and support. I'm trying to hold on to that love in a little book so we can look back on it and read the words of love that we read on that day. We got married on a budget. A very small budget. But we had so many friends support us and love us. The flowers were assembled by a dear friend. I can't e...

May 30, 2012. Eva with straight hair. Before and after haircut pictures:. May 28, 2012. I worry about Colby being not so nice to girls sometimes. He can be a little pest and such a boy. Then he goes and has a day like today, and I wonder what I'm so worried about. We were rushing around today and stopped at Papa Murphy's for a take and bake pizza. After we ate Colby says to me, "Thanks for the wonderful dinner mom! A few minutes later he said the same thing to Jason. I l-o-v-e this picture. May 25, 2012.
