That’s My Baby!

See this cute guy? Well, he did something pretty dang marvelous this week.

In fact, he did the very thing that enticed him to move to Arkansas in the first place.

He did this thing.

Oh, my GOODNESS!! Not only is he cuter than heck, he is also one smart cookie!!

And see that teeny smidge of a teal tassel there on the right side? He is the only person in the whole class that even got one of those! I don’t actually get what it’s for, but if that were me, I’d be wearing that sucker on my forehead so no one could possibly miss it! Haha.

So not only is he cute AND smart but he’s also not even being a show off about it. I could probably learn a lot from this guy.  Ok, I guess I COULD learn a lot from this guy. Duh.

Congratulations my sweet son on earning your Master’s Degree. I love you and admire you and think you’re amazing and I am SO, SO proud of you and all your hard work!

But I’m still not calling you Master.

Miss you boy. Now come home.

Hey, a mom can try.

New Babies!

I went to tend Elsey while Lyndi’s family attended the Lindon LDS Temple Open House–and a few minutes after I came home…

Dali had four kittens! Seriously, four…

in a matter of minutes.

She seemed a little rattled that they came so fast, like she wasn’t sure what to do. I helped her as much as I could and smoothed out her blankets. Then I went back to Lyndi’s.

When I came home that night, there were actually…

SIX!

We’ve never had six before and all some variation of black and white. Two of them even look like my cute Beany.

Happy Kitty Birthday to US!!

 

 

It’s Settled

And here we have Hobbes…

…trying to shove the couch over to make more room.

Orrrrr maybe you could just scoot over Hobbes.

Seriously, this guy is one odd duck.

Then there is Dali…

playing dead like a possum.  She actually scared me.

I had to poke her with my foot.

Yeah, I love them but cats are soooooo weird.

Winter…Spring…Winter

For the tinyest space–we could almost see Spring in the distance.

I mean, 68 degrees is inching it’s way up the thermometer and we are being optimistic….incredibly optimistic.

But then again…this is Utah.

Sunny…Cloudy…Snow…Cloudy…

FREEZE WARNING?!! Ohhhh noooo.

Psycho weather…

Utah.

Home sweet home.

I still love it here anyway.

 

 

Sad KSL News: An intense mid-April 2026 freeze in Utah has caused devastating, near-total fruit losses for many northern Utah farmers, with some orchards losing their entire year’s crop of peaches, cherries, apples, and apricots due to temperatures dropping into the low 20s°F. An unusually warm early spring caused early blossoming, leaving crops highly vulnerable to the subsequent cold snap.
