Closing Out February

By

February is a big month for our family, both Kas and I have birthdays and then there is Valentine's day too. We have continued onward with our whole food, plant-based way of life and found some new recipes and methods for getting enough calories that still taste good. 

Lentil Stuffed Peppers and Salad
Whole Wheat Flatbread with Loads of Veggies on Top - Kas requested
this for her birthday meal
During dinner time Hinckley has started being much more vocal, but not in a good way! However, we have found that for some reason he gets a really big kick out of us drinking our water from our water bottles. Check it out - 


Last week we went out and got some new running shoes for Kassie as her birthday gift. Other goods included a Whirley Pop (popcorn!!) and a calendar.





We discovered a neat place called the Oxley Nature Center up near the Zoo in North Tulsa. We enjoyed the beautiful 60 ish degree weather and sunshine and strolled around nature. It sure felt good to get out of the house and enjoy the peace that comes from being away from the city.

Kas was the trusted guide, wielding the park map with great expertise 

It isn't the prettiest time of year, but it sure
is peaceful! 


It is hard to believe it is already the final week of February and spring is on the horizon. We are feeling good about returning to Provo for Graduate school this summer, and are very content with our current situation till that time comes.

Hinckley's First Selfie . . . or at least it seems that way!

It is that time of day when the house is quiet, the table is half covered in pots, pans, and tuber ware with food scattered across. The car isn’t in the garage and the dog lies sleeping on the blue blanket. The sun lies somewhere back there, behind the cloud over those mountains. It makes some nice gold colors on the rocky face of the mountains outside of the window. I guess it is so nice because at this time of year there is a lot of plants and flowers in the back yard so the gold makes it seem sort of dreamlike. Yeah, I’ll do em I guess. Call it being nice or being bored. Does it matter? Approaching the sink I am nipped by the denting smell. The eggshells, scraps of mango, carrot peel, and chunks of tofu drip in my fingers. Oh yes, the trash is under the sink these days. Drip once, drip twice on the floor. The water in the frying pan trembles, shaking the crusty flakes of burnt egg. Yogurt and peanu...

May 2025

June 1, 2025 We've had a fun full week of summer. We kicked it off on Memorial day with a quick trip down to Goblin Valley where we camped. The kids enjoyed walking around there and made some friends at a nearby campsite which was really cute. Hinckley had another swim meet and made some new PRs. Greyson had some baseball games and is loving his Lehi rec center sport camp he's been doing this week. He and Addie are both enjoying swim lessons as well. Desmond continues to flirt with walking but always wants two firm hands to guide him around. He recently has really enjoyed throwing and rolling balls around and gets a big thrill. He also really loves when we get the air fryer out for some reason. We took him and the rest of the kids to the splash pad and he had so much fun!  I'm on a work trip in Austria this week and am looking forward to visiting M&D for a couple of nights at the end of the week in Hannover.  Cousin walking time Memorial day in Provo Goblins Fire maker ...
