Started a Book (17:365)

I started making my first book in like 5 years today. I'm really excited about it...I hope it turns out well because it is intended to be a gift for a friend. I will not yet name names.

Doc Honors Seminar (16:365)

Mr. Sparty Pants Scott got himself into his first Doctoral Honors Seminar that was coincidentally held at U of U (boo...Go BYU!).
He checked in today.

First Grave Visit and First Basque Festival (15:365)

We stopped in Yakima for a few minutes on our way from Washington to Utah today. It was the first time I've brought my girls to visit the graves of my favorite great grandparents. I miss them so much, Earl and Melba. Aren't their names the cutest?! I cried a little.
I miss them.


We are sleeping in Boise tonight and saw that a Basque Festival was going on downtown while we were watching the news. I almost tried my first paella, but they ran out before I could buy some. I did try my first Spanish pop (it was good!) and some authentic flan (not my first).
Jane had a crazy good time in the city fountain.
And we forgot to take our car top carrier off before we went downtown and were EXTREMELY happy to see that no Boisean's wanted to rob us of our clothes.
Thank you Boise.

Icelandic Yogurt and Tandy Leather (14:365)

Scott and I tried Icelandic yogurt for the first time. Um...not our favorite. Kind of goaty for me (even though it was not goat's milk). It was thick and bland, except for the goaty flavor.


Also, I bought my first leather remnant to make my own journal with.
The store had so much stuff. Luckily there is a Tandy Leather in Omaha too so if this goes well I can go buy some more!
I'm feeling excited about doing it.
I think Scott is even more excited. He's a book nerd. I mean N-E-R-D. Gotta love it.

Lucy's First Time Picking Blueberries (13:365)

Jane, Lucy, my mom and I went to pick blueberries. It was little Lucy's first time and she loved trying to grab all the little berries.
Jane kept asking all summer long to go picking with "just grandma and me", so she was pumped. Ten minutes into it she was done. See her running off? Silly kid.
Didn't help that most of the blueberries were still green.

At least we got some cute pictures, right?

Scott Fishing and Vegan Cupcakes (12:365)

First time Scott caught a fish. He caught his first fish on the same lake I caught mine...only 27 years later.

Ain't she a beauty?


I tried my first vegan cupcakes today.
Won't be doing that again.

First time Lucy Sat up ALONE! (11:365)

Even though there were occasional spills, she was SO proud of herself!
