This is what we did this summerSome of it's fun, some of it's crazy, some of it's just simply good times.I went to Girl's Camp and it rocked!Roadrunner's game with fireworks after. Eli was fascinated by the team's mascot and was a little frightened to get his picture taken with him (just see the look on his face). He's so funny! (Kevin just informed me that there won't be any more Roadrunner

Also known as, Days I wish I had shards of glass in my eyes. We went on friday to experience a different era in history, to educate our kids of this unique time, a much less civilized time. Knights in shining armour, bloody battles with crude weapons, you know that sort of thing. First off, if this was Camelot, then it was a lot smaller than I had pictured, which did have it's perks, like

So this will be short. My daughter brought home a video her teacher had made of different activities they were involved in throughout the school year, it was nice to be able to see all the cool things they did. Towards the end they played a montague of all the kids posing in front of pictures of George Washington and Abe Lincoln wearing a suit coat and posing like they were the next President

Wow...it's been a while since I posted here. Thanksgiving....really? I figured the Christmas Theme was a little outdated so now we have a makeover.Let's catch up shall we??...What HAVE the Farnsworth's been up to since Thanksgiving, anyway?For Christmas we did something bold and actually left town (something we haven't done since our first Christmas together as man and wife).

Kevin's brothers came to visit. We all had so much fun! Cousins are GREAT to be with! We are indeed thankful for family! Ty made some really tasty beans (the Farnsworth tradition beans and tortillas yummy!), Nathan made good pasta. We had yummy moist turkey with all the trimmings, pies galore...even cheesecake (that I ate too much of).The kids and everyone loved the park behind our house.

The doors are in, the trim is done, the floors are clean (well, as good as they can be right now), the putty and sanding are done, the paint is done, and the tile is in process. The outside of the house hasn't changed much...and my apologies for not having more pictures of the inside. Those are soon to come. Cabinets should be in by Thanksgiving (fingers crossed), and the last BIG job we have

She is already trying to beat me at scripture chases.:) She is learning to use them well.Wow, we have a charming little girl who is really starting to blossom this past month.

Yes, it is true...Liz had another birthday and is OFFICIALLY 8! 8 is great! She had her first ever slumber party with her 3 best friends. We had a blast celebrating her big day with a swim in her Aunt Valerie's pool and then we had stuffed crust pizza from Littler Ceaser's (her favorite), presents galore and of course cake and ice cream. We played a game or two...but they all had so much fun

I was at the Bloomington Walmart the other day, picking up some last minute gifts for Liz. I found what I was looking for, a "secret diary", voice activated, plays music and it was only $19.97, (remember this price). So I buy it, get my receipt and notice that I was charged $22.97 for this secret diary. I told the cashier and she politely suggested that I spend half my life in the customer

So I am going to take this time brag about my kids and how well they did in the races last Saturday. For those of you who don't know what I am referring to, every July 4th it is a Hurricane tradition to have races at the park. They start with the crawlers and work there way up by age, separating the boys and the girls. Kyler ran with the 5 year old boys and if not for a rough start surely

Why do I keep going to parades when I know exactly how it's going to go down? Find a seat, check. Wait patiently for the parade, check. Inform my kids to stand back so everyone can see, check. Have a family come late and stand in front of you, check. Watch their greedy older kids get all the candy before your kids, check. Have 10 year old boys standing in front of you trying to sell water

You all know how it goes; kids get's sick, kid won't go to bed, kid finally falls asleep, kid doesn't stay asleep and wakes you up when you were finally able to fall asleep, kid is now hungry, thirsty, but because the child is ill they will not eat or drink, thus the parent is left feeling helpless and tired.

Saturday Zion National Park sponsored a free day. So, for a little Father's Day Adventure we decided to take advantage of it. We had only ever hiked to the Lower Emerald Pool and that day we chose to try something different and venture up to the Upper Pools. Man, was it ever a challenge (especially pushing the stroller that obviously is not built to take hiking). The kids did so great and

Kyler turned 5 on June 9th and his party was so much fun! It was his first ever friend party and we were so pleased with all his friends that came. There were water balloons, swimming pools, sidewalk chalk, balloons shaped like swords and puppies, homemade ice cream and presents galore! The weather was surprisingly chilly (that never happens in June). And the park is right behind our house,

So...this last school year was just an awesome experience for Elizabeth! She had an excellent teacher. Ms. Vari went above and beyond the regular 2nd Grade Teacher expectations. She had a great discipline system, neat science projects. She was the only teacher to have a piano IN her room. She held a class election and the kids who wanted to wrote a speech and they all voted for who they

So the last time we were at the big indoor pool in washington I noticed something that disturbed me greatly. There was no line to use the restroom! Why? I know there was close to a bazillion people out in that pool. Think about everytime you go to the movie or to a sporting event, there is a line out the door to use the toilet. Not at the swimming pool though. Nope, you can choose any

First of all, I am so grateful for my mother and the wonderful example she is to me of selfless service. There are hundreds of memories I have of my mother giving to others. She would constantly ignore her own problems and with a glad heart, help those in need. She has more energy than a entire army of men and can to this day beat me in arm wrestling. She raised six boys, no small feat in

So...Elizabeth was assigned a talk on Sunday, with no topic. She's been a little fascinated with the story of Moses since she watched a "Scripture Bugs" video about him. So, naturally, she wanted to talk about Moses. It was sweet, simple, and to the point. All she did, with a little help from her daddy, was get a piece of scrap paper and simply write out what she wanted to say. She even

Well I bought new running shoes tonight. I must say it's kind of like buying a really cool toy for your kids on christmas eve and then realizing, oh no, now I have to put the dang thing together. Then it goes from being a really cool toy to hell on earth. This is kind of how I feel about my new shoes. The idea was great! I stared at those beautiful blue trimmed sneakers, displayed so proudly

I did it! I woke up early Saturday morning (before the sun), put on my running shoes, pinned my number to my shirt, grabbed my MP3 player, and headed out the door. I arrived at the high school just in time to catch the bus ride over to the starting line (the park on La Verkin's Main Street). The weather was perfect for a run...a slight chill with a slight breeze (I am grateful that the wind

I have awesome news! We finally started the long...hard...growling process of house construction. Yes, we are building our house!! Wahoo! Well, and 5 others along with it. Saturday was the day...3 families, two supervisors, and three volunteers (bless their hearts) gathered for a long day of measuring, drilling, sawing and nailing. Most of us are learning the process so it seems a bit slow.

First and foremost I must say that our new ward is pretty fun! We have the funnest sports team, always trying to include everyone, and making sure we all have a good time. We really don't care if we win or not. That is what church ball is all about, right? We have super fun enrichment activities every month. There's a book club, play dates, game nights, and even a movie night. All geared

The ladies in my neighborhood are pretty amazing! We call ourselves the Pink Ladies (not to be confused with Grease...but perhaps that is where the idea came from...I don't remember.:)) My point being that we have a pact that we are always there for each other no matter what crazy things happen in our lives. We cry, laugh, mourn, and even can chicken together...among so many other things (like

I love weekends...Kevin's home...the kids are home...we have Sunday dinners and watch movies and play games together. This weekend was particularly special, and if I might add, a bit challenging. Special because we were blessed to hear the profound words of our dear Prophet and the Apostles of the Lord. Challenging because poor little Eli had a bad ear infection and I couldn't get to the

I have to admit that I haven't been the best at keeping an update on all the pictures I've been taking. I've made a slideshow...I thought it would be better than posting a bunch of pictures. So, enjoy, my friends. Here is what we've been up to so far this year, from Eli's birthday to Kyler's new suit to Liz's Dance Festival to the skirts I made myself for the Dance Festival to pictures of our

Time sure does go fast when your getting fat, just ask Eli. We celebrated his first birthday February 26th along with his grandparents and aunts and uncles.We found out two things: 1) Eli is a pro at opening presents, seriously you should watch him work, truly inspirational. 2) He loves chocolate cake. (see photo exhibit A)

To give you the rundown...Eli LOVED his party! He devoured his "little" piece of cake (I have no doubt that he could have eaten the entire thing.) I ordered a special cake just for him to match the big one. His reaction when I brought the "real" thing was priceless. I thought he was going to fall out of his high chair, he was bouncing so much from the excitement contained in his little

But I honestly don't think that anyone would argue with me about him being even a little on the cute side.These adorable pictures were taken fairly recently. I hope you enjoy them. My favorite is the one of him "talking" on the phone. Gotta love those baby blues! What do you think, should I enter him in that Baby Talk

I'm sure we'll make it again soon.Kevin came home the other day with this recipe that his dear co-worker Kathleen gave him.

Grandpa Farnsworth brought out his nice chess set he received as a Christmas present a couple of years ago, and proceeded to teach Elizabeth the classic strategic game. Given Elizabeth's attention span of about 10 minutes, I was surprised how well she picked up on it. She has proved to be a good competitor and almost beat Kevin once. Now, whenever we go to Grandpa's house there is sure to be a

I would like to take a minute to thank Elizabeth's teachers for their diligence in teaching my daughter History. I'm not too sure that when I was in 2nd Grade I even knew who Martin Luther King was, let alone understand his important role in Black History. But my 7, soon to be 8 -year-old daughter can tell me all about it. She amazes me! She led the FHE lesson tonight teaching us the

There is nothing like Zion in the winter with the snow. We discovered the hidden waterfall this time. The snow is spectacular against all the red rock. We are so lucky to live so close to such a beautiful place. If you've never been to Zion in the winter you don't know what you are missing.Kevin's parents came along for the adventure. We enjoyed a nice picnic lunch together, but didn't do

Yesterday was a great day. Elizabeth sang with me in the choir program at church. She attended all the practices with me since early November. She is the youngest member of the choir, I am so proud of her. She sang her little heart out and she had no problem learning the songs. None of them were even remotely familiar either. I really don't know how well we sounded. I never received one

Last year we decided that we would make a new Christmas tradition by cutting down our own tree. You have to go in the mountains where there is snow to get the Christmas tree, right? Or it just doesn't feel like Christmas! Especially when we don't usually have a White Christmas where we live. So we packed up the kids, brought along some hot chocolate and warm clothing, and ventured up to Cedar

We had the best Ward Christmas Party this year. The food was delicious and the entertainment was a blast! We haven't beed to a party like that in quite some time. It was more of a Hawaiian theme than Christmas, but we loved it. Afterwords, Santa came and the kids loved sitting on his lap, except for perhaps Eli, who gave Santa a "look" and tried desperately to get away. But he didn't cry.In

Yesterday afternoon it was blistery, cold and snowing. Elizabeth was off to a pizza party with her primary class, so Kyler and I made yummy chocolate chip cookies. He was such a good helper and had no problem staying on task. He helped with the measuring, mixing, stirring, and the best part...licking the beaters. He even helped with the scooping.As you can see I couldn't even get him to stop

Sometime last month Lin's hosted an Open House to start the holidays and to promote their nice new renovation. The 2nd Graders from Hurricane Elementary sang a little program. The store was jam-packed, but luckily I was able to grab a quick snapshot. Aren't they the cutest bunch?? And smack dab in the middle is my beautiful daughter. What an awesome picture!!

We had such a blast at his football party! We ate good food, played a fun game of football and enjoyed the company of our friends. Thanks to all those that made it to celebrate Kevin's 30th birthday. And we missed all those that couldn't make it. Kevin had a great party!! Happy Birthday Kevin! Welcome to the 30's! You are officially OLD!

In case you were wondering, Liz was Princess Peach from the Mario Brothers. I made her costume myself and I was happy with the way it turned out. She thought it was funny that her teacher didn't recognize her in the blond hair. It was fun making it for her this year, she was unique. And Kyler's superman curl turned out perfect. Doesn't he look just like him?Ah! What a cute little dalmatian!

We came home Sunday afternoon (the 21st) with Eli hooked to the oxygen tank. But by Monday, the very next day, he was doing just fine on his own. And now he is doing just great and not even needing Tylenol anymore. We go up again on the 16th for a

What a handsome boy (note: no more cast)! Kyler is now going to Head Start Monday through Thursday. He loves going to school. It keeps him busy and he has so much fun. Head Start is a great program, Liz really enjoyed it when she was that age. They feed them breakfast and lunch, they get their own toothbrushes and they brush their teeth at school, they have a nice playground with sand pits

I have known the music and the story since high school when I became somewhat obsessed with it and always hoped that I could see the play performed someday. Finally on Tuesday we were able to see

He and a bunch of kids were playing in the backyard and next thing I knew he came in screaming. Liz told me what happened, and I rushed him to the instacare where they x-rayed him, and sure enough he broke it. The x-ray showed it cracked right by the elbow. We had to wait to get

Kevin and I were in charge of the Ward Youth Conference this summer. It was alot of work! But it turned out to be a huge success. The kids loved it and I think the leaders had a great time too, even if it was 100+ degrees outside. The theme...The Amazing Race E2E (Endure to the End). We started with a muffin breakfast at the church then we split them into 6 different teams. Each team had a

Another fun day at Jumping Jacks, Elizabeth's choice. And she got to bring a couple of friends along. Megan Peck and Megan Neeley joined us. They had so much fun! Kevin had just as much fun as they did chasing them around. He scared them good a couple of times. Little Megan Peck, in the words of Kevin, "you should have seen the look of terror on her face," while he was popping out from

Elizabeth and her daddy are two of a kind. They laugh at the same things, joke about the same things, and even fight over the same things. Monday night after we got home from a long day in St. George, Kevin and Elizabeth decided to ride their bikes to Maverik to try out the new milkshake machine they have, which by-the-way wasn't working. So instead they rode all the way to Dairy Queen and

Update of Eli...we talked to the Doctor today and learned that he doesn't have cystic fibrosis, phew! However, we have an appointment to see a specialist at the Primary Children's Hospital in 3 weeks. His nose and lungs are cleared up, but it is certain that he still has trouble breathing as his chest is still retracting and he gasps for air sometimes, and still not gaining the weight he

Wow, the weeks have slipped by this month. So much has happened, I don't know if I can write it all.Eli has had trouble breathing because of congestion and possibly some other issues. I switched doctor's last week because Dr. Smith just wasn't listening and didn't want to do anything about it, and I can't get in to see the ENT until July 23rd. So I've switched to Dr. Karen Whittemore who has

Wow, I finally have a minute to sit down and write something on the computer. It's been an eventful week already. Our next door neighbors, the Seely's, moved out Saturday and we will miss them terribly. It's been so quiet since they left, we feel like we live in a ghost town. They lived here for a short 3 months, but we feel like we've known them forever. I hope, hope, hope a nice family moves

I took Kyler and Eli to a photo shoot at Sears last week. It desperately needed done, especially for Kyler's sake. I think the last time he got a nice photo shoot was when he was 10 months old and he has changed and grown up so much since then. It sure was fun! Eli smiled so well and Kyler had a great time. If you can't tell he is laughing in just about every picture. I hate to brag, but I think

Last weekend Kevin took Kyler to Father and Son's up by Apple Valley. Kyler was so excited to go camping with his dad. They had a great time. In the meantime Liz and I enjoyed a girl's night. We did the put-put golf and played games and stayed at the Dixie Palm Motel. Then Saturday we went swimming and got our hair cut. It's great being a girl.Photo courtesy of ElizabethElizabeth loves

Just look at that price! Never in a million years did I ever think I would have to pay this much for one gallon of gas. If you're like me, and I'm sure you are, you have reached a breaking point. No longer do I go for a leisurely drive or take a spontaneous trip. My trips into St. George just to go to Wal-Mart are now further in between and I have to plan shopping trips and spend more at one

Yesterday was a great day! I was treated so well, I don't think I deserved it. But Kevin assures me I did, so I'll have to take his word for it. He gave me the best present I could have ever asked for. He wrote a book compiled of different pictures from when we got engaged to when Eli was born. He wrote in his own words what a blessing each of our children are in our lives and how grateful

It's been a while since we went to the movies. With a new baby in our family we just haven't had the chance to get away. Well, tonight we decided to splurge and take the whole family to see Horton Hears a Who. It was fantastic, very funny and a great family film. Elizabeth is our dramatic one and has really started to get into movies, when just months ago she would barely sit still long

I just got back from futsal practice with the women from my ward tonight. I really should be getting to bed, but I wanted to leave a quick note. For anyone wondering, futsal is indoor soccer. We have our first game tomorrow night and we are getting all geared up for it. It's lots of fun. I actually scored a goal tonight, I hope I can score more tomorrow. Sports has been a big thing for the

I absolutely love it when new babies begin to smile. It warms my heart! Eli is smiling more and more, and thanks to blogs and digital cameras I can share those moments with you easily. Eli is so precious. It is wonderful to have him a part of our family. He's growing fast already. Kevin can make him coo alot. He wants to talk so bad. He concentrates on faces very well especially mouths.

It's April 16th already. That means that tax season is finally over, wahoo! I didn't file as many as I did last year, but with adjusting to life with a new baby in the middle of it didn't make it any less stressful. Spring is in the air and it makes me excited for summer break. Elizabeth is excited to go to the pool again, she's our little fish, and I'm excited for summer play and vacations.

Hello everyone! It's been a good day today. It was an absolute gorgeous day in St. George, but a very windy and cold one in Hurricane. It's been very windy lately here, as we are reminded how Hurricane got it's name. But everything is blossoming and growing around us. It is beautiful! I absolutely love springtime as long as I can survive the allergies. I have to tell you a funny story,

Hello family and friends. We had the wonderful oppurtunity to bless Eli last sunday March 30th. He slept through the entire blessing luckily and decided to leave his mouth wide open the whole time. He looked sharp in his white shirt and red tie with khaki pants. We decided not to do the traditional all white dress, we figured we might as well get him an outfit he can wear for awhile and save
