Memorizing Good and Beautiful Things

Evelyn used to love taking baths. And then recently, she randomly started hating them (maybe because my Roxanne started hating them too and they rub off on each other). She particularly didn’t like getting water poured on her head to rinse off the shampoo. Last night when I was bathing them, I started pouring the...

Chasing Fireflies

A fond memory that I have of summer in Missouri (where I grew up) is the warm nights, watching, chasing, and catching fireflies. Fireflies are magical. I love them. Until recently, I didn’t know that fireflies existed in Utah. I was always sad about this and felt like something was missing from summer nights. Well,...

Connecting with my Grandpa Marchant

This morning I woke up to milk, eggs, and orange juice on the front porch (well technically they were inside by then because Jershon brought them in when he left for work.) It was only 6 am. 🙂 I have heard about Winder Farms for a while now but finally decided that it would be...

Inspired by my Great-Grandmother

As I was going through video clips for the photo/video montage that I made for my Grandma’s funeral, I ran across a few video clips of my Great Grandparents (my Grandma’s parents) and these clips gave me a greater desire to get to know Dan and Margaret (my great-grandparents) better. There is one little video...
