Steph and Stuff: Eleanor asked for a story...
http://stephersandstuff.blogspot.com/2012/05/eleanor-asked-for-story.html
Thursday, May 24, 2012. Eleanor asked for a story. Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Eleanor who loved everything about nature. On her way home from school one afternoon, Eleanor somehow spotted a baby bird stuck upside down in a bush at the end of the driveway. The little finch was still, and Eleanor thought it was dead. Gently she scooped up the tiny body, her heart breaking as her mind whirled about what to do next. But then the bird moved! Labels: feeding baby finch. Rescue wild baby bird.

Steph and Stuff: Half is better than whole (This time, anyway)
http://stephersandstuff.blogspot.com/2012/06/half-is-better-than-whole-this-time.html
Wednesday, June 13, 2012. Half is better than whole (This time, anyway). Since Ogden (almost 4 weeks ago), I've returned to being a much happier runner, I'm a whole lot more relaxed, and . drum roll. running is fun again! This past Saturday I ran in a local race - Teton Dam Half Marathon - and spent the entire 13.1 miles grinning in giddy glee because I was just so happy, so incredibly happy, that I wasn't running the Full! And cheering me on. I loved it. One of them said, "Run faster! And gray shirts...

Steph and Stuff: December 2011
http://stephersandstuff.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 18, 2011. Disneyworld/ Harry Potter (Universal Studios) - Late November. I'm not going to write about each picture (I don't have time), so here's a general re-cap of our Florida trip the week after Thanksgiving:. Charlotte's favorite rides included E.T. (save the alien! Eleanor - well, what can I say? Oliver's favorite part of the trip (this child is a FOODIE! An Indian restaurant that we ate at in Utah on our way home! Okay, but for the Florida part he loved the butterbeer at the Three ...

Steph and Stuff: Life Lessons Learned: Ogden Marathon
http://stephersandstuff.blogspot.com/2012/05/life-lessons-learned-ogden-marathon.html
Monday, May 21, 2012. Life Lessons Learned: Ogden Marathon. Yesterday I ran the hardest race in my life. It wasn't my slowest time and it wasn't a difficult course, but it was the toughest battle I've fought in a marathon yet. But yesterday to me, that seven blocks might as well have been seven miles. At the start: Cris and me,. One of our many times. In one of the many lines. To one of the many port-a-potties. The best part of the day? The company of friends. Jennica and Tonya at the start. Yet somehow ...

Steph and Stuff: August 2012
http://stephersandstuff.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 10, 2012. Of Broken Noses and Cold Cereal Dinners. Summer is ending and what a ride it's been! Although it's been fun, I hope we are never this over-busy again. I would like to have some time to just be bored. I wish I could recount it all, but it'd take too long. I haven't even blogged about our Ukraine/Paris trip! That's on my to-do list. And managed to explain to Dallin in my croaking laryngitis fevered state what had happened. Better than never getting better! My kids have been so good...

Steph and Stuff: October 2012
http://stephersandstuff.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 13, 2012. Did I write about the RUSH triathlon? Maybe But I don't care. Jeff and four friends raced in the Logan to Jackson bike race known as LOTOJA. It's over 200 miles long. He and the guys registered for the relay, thereby splitting the race into about 30 mile increments. Even with Jeff's lost 12 minutes of flat tire repair, the guys finished right up in the top few (for a while we thought they were first, but with recalculating times I'm not so sure anymore). Eleanor-the-bug-lover ...

Steph and Stuff: November 2011
http://stephersandstuff.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 20, 2011. Hmm Well, in the picture you can see we separated both "boys". Wanna know why? Because one day two weeks ago we found a surprise when we came home from the Dollar Store (where Eleanor had gone in search of plastic cockroaches to keep her real roaches company - of course Eleanor did that! Charlotte went in search of a coloring book.). Yup - the "boys" had left us an egg sac. Ugh. And when that one dies, I'll just get a grand baby cockroach! Like, even on non-Halloween days?

Steph and Stuff: March 2013
http://stephersandstuff.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Skate Skiing on the Dry Farms, AKA Crust Cruising. Jeff's ski buddy (and my high school friend's dad) Randy, introduced me to "crust cruising." He saw how downhearted I was at losing the skate ski trail at the golf course (since the snow is melting, and the groomer broke down). He took me up to the Dry Farms and showed me that I can still skate ski as long as the nights get cold enough and there is still snow on fields. You're doing great, Big Red! Monday, March 11, 2013. Jeff wo...

Steph and Stuff: Winter Report
http://stephersandstuff.blogspot.com/2013/03/winter-report.html
Monday, March 11, 2013. Jeff won the "Best Costume" award at the Spooky Cross Cyclocross Race. I think a man in a skirt is a little spooky myself. ("It's a KILT, not a skirt! He yells in a thick Scottish accent.). Oliver ("Vector" from Despicable Me), Jeff (sans skirt, oops, I mean "kilt"), Eleanor the Medium Good Witch, Sam with his invisible Butterfly Wings (he really has them on), and Charlotte the Little Good Witch. I had a Witch's hat on, too, so I was the Big Good (good, right? I don't know anyone ...
