Meeting the Siblings

After a few days in the hospital William was ready to meet his brothers and sister. They all came to the hospital to meet him, but that encounter was crazy, short, and all too loud to recall with any heartwarming memories or pictures.

Blog Maintenance

Okay, I have totally fallen behind in my blogging/family journalling for the past month and a half. I will now be doing some back blogging in order to record our family life. If you get bored just skip us for a while as I have a lot of catching up to do.

Snowy Soccer

We had just brought William home the day before a very snowy Saturday. We called our fearless coach and Daniel's soccer game was not going to be cancelled, so I did what all good moms do, I sent Dave and Daniel to the game with a camera! I stayed home with the other 3 kids and kept dry and warm.

Happy Anniversary!

Dave and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary on May 25th. We had a nice relaxing fun day with the family and even managed to go out to dinner as a couple that night.

Three Shows for Dave!

Dave's Springville Museum Spring Salon entry made it into the Deseret News Life/Art section two Sundays ago! He won a third place award for this painting and we will be heading down for the annual Art Ball/Springville High prom this Saturday night.

Tonight the Art Access 300 plate auction show opens and Dave did 5 plates year and he is anxious to see if they will sell. We will be heading there tonight to see how he fares....http://www.accessart.org/

And tomorrow his show at Williams Fine Art openshttp://williamsfineart.com/....Yay! I am hoping for a bit of a rest between shows after this weekend.

Three shows in three nights equals, three outfits and three sitters. In my post fourth baby days those along with energy are not so easy to come by!

It is always crazy to go to a show with him because as the spouse I am always playing the "you are a genius" vs. "those judges have no taste" card trying to maintain the artist ever fragile yet ever growing ego. Maybe we relive our prom days and dance the night away, but with the price of sitters, my guess is we will boogie on home as soon as the awards ceremony is over.
