Marching Onward

It is pretty clear to me by now that our blog is basically just pictures of our baby, with an occasional plug for a whole-food plant based diet. Pretty much those are the two big things that are somewhat new in our lives, so it makes sense that is all we seem to be talking about! 


Starting to experiment with crawling, then he falls quite often

Very yummy "Mac and No Cheese" dish

A tasty broccoli rice casserole 

Green beans that have changed the way I view the veggie forever

Pineapple sorbet, one of our favorites
Recently we started collecting recipes we enjoy HERE. Check it out, and please let us know if you think any of them were any good! 

Hinckley is almost crawling. He pushes himself up a little, wavers, and then crashes back to the ground. He sort of displays his progress in the video below. 


Kas and I enjoyed the historic LDS women's conference last night. It was inspiring and uplifting for me to watch the broadcast and helped me reflect on the amazing women in my life that have helped me be the person I am today.


Next week is general conference and we are excited about that. Conference time is a special time of year that we cherish quite a bit. We get to spend lots of time together, and reflect on what matters most. There are always important reminders and takeaways.

The big question is this though: instead of cinnamon rolls after Priesthood session, what treat will we eat together?!

Our New Diet

Life is good! Maybe our trials have changed our attitude or maybe things really have gotten better. Either way, 2014 is already looking happy, bright, and beautiful! Greg LOVES his new job. The environment is great and he likes all of his co-workers. Plus, he gets to make films for work! As a media arts major, it is pretty hard to land a job with a steady paycheck right out of college. This one just kind of fell into Greg's lap. The stark contrast between his previous job as a teacher and this one is like night and day. And believe me, the ripple effect of this has spilled over into our home; it's like a breath of fresh air! Hinckley has been very active lately and is already starting to assert his independence. He is 17 1/2 pounds and 28 inches tall. He just discovered how much he loves rolling over, so he does it all the time now. I think he would like to be running and on the move if he only knew how to do it! He also loves food. So far he has only eaten rice cereal

Almost There!

Tomorrow is our baby's due date! We don't think he will come tomorrow, but one never knows. Here are some pics from this week. School is going pretty well for me, though I transition to writing/reading from doing math for the past two weeks so I am a little nervous about that. The view from the bus just before I get off and start teaching for the day. Usually I am barely awake at this point.  Awesome panorama of our classroom. It has taken a lot of work to get all this stuff up, but it could still use lots more! Here is a view of the front of the classroom, along with our space ship behavior chart and so forth.  I decided to see what would happen if I didn't shave during the week This was the result.  Kas is feeling quite big, and ready for the man child to come out! This week Kas learned how to make homemade yogurt - or at least how to extend the yogurt you already have.  The latest creative masterpiece from Kassie is this little elep

TMA 185 3 minute film

The final product of "make me a match" that I labored over exceedingly. I was actually sort of unhappy with it all not because of the performances of anyone but mainly just the story. We had to write all so quickly and the re-write it time after time and then storyboard it and really break it down. In all this rush I didn't realize till I was actually shooting it that I really didn't care much for the story as a whole and thus my motivation suffered greatly. I don't think I need to tell epic dramatic tales to care about them but I do want to have a strong point and also a specific conflict or issue that is approached and resolved. I am starting a screen writing class tomorrow and possibly I will gain some insights as to how to develop good stories. Ones that I care about. I don't know why I feel so interested in telling stories - particularly in that I haven't felt very confident with the stories I have come up with. It is extremely hard for me to come up
