Craft Projects


Over the past year I have been able to do a couple fun craft projects. The first was to create a "family book" for Neil to show him his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I took a board book I had received from the pediatrician's office and clear taped family pictures and name labels over each page in the book. The Family Book is one of Neil's favorites and we have really enjoyed reading it to him.

My second craft project was to create a birthday calendar. I started by making one for myself, and my mom loved the idea so much she asked me to make one for her as well. I took what I had learned from my first attempt and made a second one that was much better. The word got out, and now I have made many birthday calendars for family members. Maybe someday I will create an Etsy shop for them.

Outside and enjoying the sunshine

  Our family recently crossed the 1 year in Utah mark. We've really enjoyed exploring the area and being outside. We love going on the Murdock trail near our home.  Recently our oldest, Neil, went on his longest bike ride ever (a 20 mile trip!) and rode from where we live in Highland down to the Lindon temple (and back home).  The boys love biking and scootering and visiting the various parks nearby. We've been really happy with our ebike (a radwagon) and this past summer added a couple escooters (secondhand segway ninebots). Hope you've had a great summer.

Camping Adventure at Penrose Point State Park

This past weekend Mr. D and I went camping at Penrose Point State Park with a family we have been friends with for almost three years! We decided to carpool there together with our camping gear and all seven of us in their van. After we got there, we made hotdogs for dinner, s’mores and cobbler for dessert, and enjoyed spending time together in front of the campfire. The following morning we walked over to the water and had fun discovering crabs in the rocks. Here are some of the photos from the trip: Checking out an alive sand dollar  Looking for crabs on the water  Crazy tree and roots This was the website we used to book the reservation: https://washington.goingtocamp.com/PenrosePointStatePark -Mr. D and Mrs. M
