Elena's Useless Information: January 2010
http://elenabena.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
You need it to survive. Sunday, January 10, 2010. Best of Oh Nine. This year, 2009, went by so fast! I thought I'd update with a few of my favorite moments. The deer in the backyard. A daily occurrence. This year we saw more male deer than ever. One of them we named stumpy because one of his antlers is very short. The beautiful fall foliage in my yard. It was here briefly and then the wind blew them all away. It was a beautiful place to explore, hike, swim (cold lake) and relax with the family. Andrew an...

Elena's Useless Information: Cousin Gathering 2009
http://elenabena.blogspot.com/2009/12/cousin-gathering-2009.html
You need it to survive. Sunday, December 6, 2009. We hosted the 2nd bi-annual Lawrence Cousin Gathering the day after Thanksgiving. Andrew supplied the sandwiches and everyone else brought a dish to share. I think it all turned out great. The weather cooperated so everyone could get up the driveway and almost everyone made it. We even had a set of twin girls from Stacie's family join us for the party. The kids enjoyed having lots of friends to run around with. Alden, Ashley, and Austin enjoying food.

You need it to survive. Sunday, October 19, 2008. Friday, October 10, 2008. I need a toolbelt! Andrew told me that I haven't updated in a while so here goes. (WARNING: this may tell you how extremely tedious my life actually is). We've been cutting down trees along the driveway so that maybe the sun can warm up the ice in the winter and we won't slide down. Then I had to cut it into 5 foot lengths and BUNDLE them for the trash pickup pile. Ooooh, I know how to party! Is it really worth it? Women's cut $4...

Elena's Useless Information: March 2009
http://elenabena.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
You need it to survive. Sunday, March 29, 2009. So here is how March went. I took an applique class at the quilt store and am now addicted to new projects. I have so many patterns in my drawer I will never get to all of them. I started with a personal trainer at the gym. I've had three sessions now and I feel pretty good.now. The first session he made me do so many squats and lunges and step-ups on a bench that I couldn't walk for 5 days! I need to wash my car but the snow keeps coming. Bring on the love!

You need it to survive. Saturday, November 29, 2008. The Highlight of my Week. 5Seeing Twilight with my honey. I liked it a lot. Didn't think I'd like Mr. Patterson as Edward but he grew on me. But he's only 22 years old so it wouldn't work out for us. 4Finding a pair of jeans that actually fit. J.Jill of course. Tried on 5 pairs at Old Navy-nothing. Tried on 1 pair at J.Jill-perfect! 3Lost 4 lbs since forever. I'm officially at my lowest weight since 1991. Holy Cow! Thursday, November 13, 2008. And mayb...

You need it to survive. Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Here's how the trip went. I loaded the pictures backward.for more fun.not because I'm technologically challenged. Of course, we ended up at the Grand Canyon. We went from 110 degrees in Phoenix to 44 degrees here. But how beautiful it was once the clouds cleared out! No jackets or pants. Very cold! The water balloon fight was awesome! We found a fun activity center that had mini golf, speed track, water rafts and video games. Andrew and I tried it, too!

You need it to survive. Saturday, December 13, 2008. I slipped on the driveway this morning and I landed on my tail bone. I heard and felt a crack or snap. I'm in pain. Here's how it went.it could have been way worse. We made it to the breakfast and then I went to work, in pain, and did 5 haircuts. Now, I'm in massive pain and taking Ibuprofen. My doctor (Ashley) told me to sit on a doughnut cushion and call her if my symptoms change. (She called me from Disneyland, by the way! I'd much rather be there!

You need it to survive. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Time Off in Park City. Time off in Park City over Mother's Day Weekend. We relaxed at our timeshare by swimming, eating, watching movies, making crafts and exploring Main Street. Emma finally had enough of swimming! She is a fish! And she's not shy. She would try to play with anyone who came into the pool. Including other kids' dads! She'd hang on stranger's shoulders to try to get them to play with her! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Andrew and I September 2009.

You need it to survive. Wednesday, September 17, 2008. I decided to take Emma to the zoo yesterday because she was "so bared! Bored) The first thing she wanted when we got there were some new sunglasses. And a stroller because she was already "so tired! We went around the whole zoo and had a relaxing day without brothers or sister. Then she fell asleep in the car.(they're always so much cuter asleep! I think she had fun yesterday.Today is a different story! Saturday, September 13, 2008. Also of note, do ...
