Happy ninth anniversary to Max and I!

(MY FAVORTIE PICTURE OF MY HUSBAND AND I.)
Nine years ago this weekend my husband and I got married. Fourteen years ago this weekend my husband and I officially were boyfriend/girlfriend.   As we like to say… forever.  As in it has been forever that we have been together.  This is often accompanied with eye rolling. I [...]

Fathers Day 2008

This year Fathers Day was most likely not fun for Max. I am truly sorry Max.

Mason and Nat were super clingy.
Mason and Nat kept complaining.
Mason freaked out about having to wear a life jacket.
I freaked out on Mason for having a tantrum and just made it worst.
The side view mirror on our car broke when [...]

The Wind Caves

A few Sundays ago we went on a hike to the Wind Caves up Logan Canyon. This hike and I have a love/hate relationship. I love when I get to the top, but hate the hiking part to get there. This hike was actually one of Max and my first dates. I booked up the hike [...]

Scout Camp

I didn’t go to cub scout day camp with Mason, but Max did.  He is actually the cub scout leader assistant. I think it is cute. He is the one that took the pictures.  Thanks Max!
When Mason got home he ran up to me to tell me that camp was awesome. That he got to shoot [...]

Update on Mothers Day Present

I just wanted to show you an update on my Mothers Day present. It isn’t 100% finished because of the rain. It has been raining her all the time. This is the coldest spring I remember. Snow then rain… then rain then snow. /sigh  The second we have at least 3 days in a row [...]

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a very important holiday in the Barfuss family. When I started dating Max, a million years ago,  I was invited to participate in one of their family traditions. Boy was I in for a surprise. It is the day for what many people would call their “family reunion.” Although it isn’t a [...]

Soccer…

 Soccer is both extremely fun and extremely annoying. Snow, rain, cold, you get the picture.  Plus the fact that there are two games a week… PER CHILD. Yeah. Soccer season pretty much runs your life for the 8 weeks your involved in it.
Here is a cute picture of Paige, Natalie and Mason. Paige is my [...]

The Pinewood Derby!

Mason is in scouts… as in Cub Scouts. I can hardly believe he is 8 years old.
I am an only child, and thus pretty new to scouts. I have heard all sorts of stories from my husband about throwing cans of mosquito spray in the fire and watching it explode, of starting fires, of playing [...]

My Mothers Day Present!

This year is different than usual. I usually plant flowers on Mothers Day. Unfortunately this year is too cold. Instead of planting, we are making planter boxes. These are going to be my garden!
I am not sure exactly what I will plant in these boxes. I have such a small yard and a garden isn’t [...]

Mothers Day from my son Mason

I have to share this. My son made the cutest card for me at school.
All week long he would ask me questions. He even tried to be all sneaky about it. It is part of the job description of being a mom to sometimes act like you don’t know what is going on. It ends up [...]
