Our family goes through nicknames like a kid trying out a new box of crayons. A new one seems to pop up out of nowhere and then they just evolve, many times without any reasonable explanations. Henry has been Hen for a little while. It started because of a cute onsie that had a newly […]
Richly Hued Harvest
Rain. Bucket loads of it during June and July brought life to the dry desert dirt. A video posted by Montserrat Wadsworth (@cranialhiccups) on Jul 8, 2015 at 4:44pm PDT And to our garden. While weeds and vegetable (and fruit) plants grew we could never really be sure there would be much of a harvest. […]
Getting Rid of the Gray
Look what happened to my house on Thursday!!! Thanks to the combined efforts of wonderful hard working family the color coat of stucco was finally applied. No more living in a cement prison as my kids affectionately called it. We were two buckets short of color though so this one wall didn’t […]
Introducing Henry Murdock
On Wednesday, July 29th, little Henry Murdock joined our family at 12:45pm. He weighed in at 8lbs 2oz with a HUGE head of 14 1/2 inches. The cord was wrapped around his neck which caused his whole head to bruise. We laugh that he is having a racial identity crisis because he has both black […]
Rain, rain, and more rain!
We had a very exciting day yesterday. I was in town eating lunch with some special women when I got a text from my husband with this picture. No rain in the valley but the mountains on either side of us are getting drenched. Here’s a pic of a little flash flood coming down from […]
July Days
Our first crop of hay got rained on pretty bad. Rain is not good when the hay has been cut! The hay bleaches in the sun as it waits to dry out. Nutrients are leached out of the hay the longer it stays in the field. If you bale it too wet it will either […]
My Ironing Cabinet
My husband and I have lived in some pretty old, run-down houses. The first house we lived in was three old offices buildings slapped together. They were pulled by horse and buggy in the 1920s from the ghost town Wonder and used to create a “large” 800 sq. foot home for a family with seven […]
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Five… books I am currently reading: Mothering through the Whirlwind by Tamara Passey – written by a friend who was also Arizona’s Young Mother of the Year in 2013! I’ll be sharing a review here on the blog on Thursday. Maybe Today byDavid Butler and Emily Belle Freeman – I love all of Emily Freeman’s […]
Time Marches On
I foolishly thought things would slow down after Eve and Patrick’s wedding. Instead we find ourselves involved in just as much as before. It has all been good and wonderful! Our nephew got married two weeks ago in Reno. It was fun to see the newlyweds who came down for the second of the cousins […]
Eve & Patrick’s Wedding Reception
I’ve received a few e-mails asking me to share about the newlyweds’ receptions. To tell you the truth I wasn’t going to share because I really didn’t get any pictures! We were so busy setting up and standing in the receiving line that the only pictures I actually got of the reception was right before […]
Spring Escapades
Spring is a bit wet this year which is good. Winter was so dry! Keeping the little boys out of the mud is nearly impossible. They are constantly on the move. Almost every picture I try to take of them is blurry. Also every pair of shoes they own – boots, tennis shoes, dress shoes […]
Ada Bitner Hinckley
Meet Ada. She’s my husband’s great-grandmother. Her life is one worth knowing about. At the family reunion we attended back in February I attended a class about her where I learned a bit more about her talents and interests. Ada Bitner was born on June 30, 1880, the daughter of Breneman Barr Bitner and Sarah Ann […]
Wedding Photos
Wow! The photographer we got for Eve and Patrick’s wedding was awesome. And fast! I figured we’d have to wait several weeks before seeing any professional photos but we received a DVD of photos yesterday. Let’s just say spring time weddings, especially on Temple Square in Salt Lake, get some beautiful help from Mother Nature. […]
The Bride and Groom
Just checking in on this super busy week to show the ONE picture I got of my daughter and my new son-in-law on their wedding day. The wedding was beautiful! The bride and groom! Beautiful spring day to be married. Don’t worry, I only cried a ton. They were tears of joy! A photo posted […]
Family Reunion Centerpiece Ideas
The past couple of weeks my kids and I have been crafting up some fun interactive centerpieces for a HUGE (and I mean HUGE) family reunion that will take place the end of this week. It’s for the Wadsworth side of the family. There are over 450 descendants of these two wonderful people, F. Don […]
