Standiford Family

Last night we went out to eat at Logan’s. Yum. Megan declared that we needed to celebrate the fact that she’s done with soccer. I’ll celebrate that. We had a good meal there. Then we ran to Walmart to get a few things and some pumpkins. I really wanted [...]

Fifty what you say.  Today I reached the 50 mile mark towards my goal of 150!   The last few days I’ve really had to make myself walk.  I’m still suffering from my sinus problem (which has turned into an annoying cough and runny nose instead of pressure, I must be getting better) and I’ve had [...]

Tonight we had a really simple dinner: egg or chicken salad sandwiches, Baked Lays, and applesauce or carrots. (This is how we eat when Meg has practice at 6:00. Thankfully tonight was her last one.) Kade picked the blue applesauce instead of the carrots. He decided to not use his [...]

This week I’m doing a card class with some ladies from church.  I have a lot of extra paper left over from the Super Saturday so I thought I would put it to good use.  All three cards are made from the same paper.  (That’s one way to use up a supply.)  I will be [...]

Tonight I made a cute and yummy treat. I was inspired by the cover of Family Circle magazine (which I can’t find on line anywhere so sorry no link). We all love Rice Crispy treats so I thought how hard would it be to make them into pumpkins? The answer: Not [...]

Today is the end of the third week of my goal to reach 150 miles by the end of the year.  I’m happy to report that even though I’ve been sick most of this week I am up to 42 miles.

Since today is Friday it’s a good day to review this crazy week.  Mickey has been working way too many hours on a gigantic project at work.  He worked two 12 hour days and two 18 hour days.  Lets just say that is too many for him and for me.  He had a test for [...]

The leaves are dressing themselves in different hues and starting to fall to the ground.  The weather is cooling off.  (We’ve had record highs the last few days.)  The crisp breeze is blowing.  The smell of Fall is in the air.  (The good one, not the smell of burning leaves.  Not yet anyway.)  I noticed [...]

This morning we watched a session of conference at home.  There are a few things that we need to make this happen.  First, we have to have the BYU channel through the dish.  Second, we need to have some kind of sweet treat to eat during conference.  Third, the kids need something to keep them [...]

Let me first say that Tuesdays are like most people’s Mondays for me.  I drag most of the day.  This day was just go, go, go.  First I had to get the girls up for school.  They had a late start because they didn’t want to get out of bed.  After they got on the [...]
