Selfie

Just take'n a selfie with her favorite nephew Macaroosie. What better way to pass the time with Aunt Tina.

My 'other' Amber

This is my 'other' Amber (my sister being 'my first Amber'.) We lived down stairs from Amber and her husband Nacho for 2 years while in Utah and she is one of the people I miss the most. I was so glad we were able to meet up on our recent trip to Orem. 

Amber and her sweet little 1 1/2 year old twin girls- Victoria and Sophia

Family Picture

       I asked someone to snap a family picture of us after church two weeks ago since we were all in red. I think next time I will hire myself and just use a tripod. Hopefully we can do a little better on the valentine's day card this year. 

Wind in his sails

David is a creative one. For good or not so good, he has lots of ideas about how have fun. How to build, how to dress up, how to re- purpose, or how to be crazy. I hope I always remember him like this. 

Mac is quick to catch on to a good idea

Quick where's the Ark!?

We just got back from a vacation to Utah and our family had the privilege of staying with the Lindon Hutchins for six days. My kids were SO excited to make this trip, for many reasons, not least of which was getting a chance to flood the sandbox. This activity is a perfect harmony of water play, creating and destroying. I can't think of a better summer passtime for the under-10 crowd. Best part is, you don't even have to wear a bathing suit!

Family History Moment

I've been scanning in some family treasures and thought I'd share. Zach's a words guy, I'm more a picture person.We make a good team.

My father's father- Steven Ogarek. About 27 years old in this passport picture.

Mary Konkolics and Michael Yuhasz. My great-grandparents on my father's side who immigrated from Hungary 

James and Ruth Story, my mother's parents. December 1937, about 28 years old here

Amber 5 1/2 yr, Alana 4 yr. I used to LOVE to play dress up with that necklace my mom has on
