I am amazed how everyone REALLY jumped in on this ban wagon for Halloween Costumes. We chose an awesome theme: Wreck-it Ralph! For most of the clothes and accessories we found them at DI (thrift shop), which I was thrilled about. Some of the clothes were higher priced there than I would normally pay...because I'm […]
So after realizing that the elementary school doesn't have a halloween parade or anything for their costumes and also our Ward activity this year did not include dressing up....we decided to throw a party! BOOM! I've been wanting to do a party to get to know more people in the area and make friends...but now […]
It's beginning to look a lot like Halloween. I think during the Holiday season is when I realize....that I miss all our stuff that we left in Hawaii. I know its just stuff and I can make/buy more, but being the CHEAP, frugal, crafty person that I am...I try to not buy things I can […]
October is such a fun month. And I was super excited to be able to teach happy school for Evee and her group. She will be the 4th child that I have done Happy School for. I love it. And this group of kids are great and their moms are even more creative than me. […]
Wyatt started Kindergarten in english speaking with Ms. Lloyd...and in September a spot in Dual Immersion spanish opened up and we took it. He was a bit behind learning, but he loved it. He made friends quickly and began to REALLY enjoy it. He really loves his new teachers Ms. Mahoney & Maestro Valero. They […]
Being a frugal person, I am always on the hunt for cheaper foods, preserving foods or making new recipes. After making some new friends they gave me some valuable information on an orchard/farm that sells 2nds for a significantly cheaper rate. So I bought many bushels of: Red Pears, Anjou Pears, Honeycrisp apples, Gala apples, […]
Fall is Harvest time and Harvest we did. We harvested any produce we could from anywhere...ok just mostly Grandma's house. Grandma called when the grapes were ready and we visited Grandma and picked for a couple of hours. I remember growing up and doing this task of picking, de-vining and then helping mom juice. I […]
For the last couple of years I have organized a pumpkin patch tour to the Aloun Farms pumpkin patch in Hawaii. This year I was super sad to not have our Hawaii friends to celebrate this tradition. Well tradition must live on....so I researched all the farms/patches in the utah & wasatch county area. We […]
Klai's teacher Ms. Allred is a great teacher. She gives the kids lots of room to explore, create and learn. I love her style. This month the kids split into groups and were to recreate a play. Klai's group of friends chose Cinderella to act out. Klai made an excellent cinderella!
I love chatting with Nikki and especially when surprises happen. So after quick planning Nikki, Danny and cousins came for a quick trip to UTAH...quick like 2 weeks. And we were super excited to visit. She first stayed with Calabios, we all hung out at Grandma's house. Cora, Esther and Lil Jarom. All a couple […]

Here […]
