Our little girl is almost through with kindergarten.  Her last day is Thursday.  But this past Thursday they had a Kindergarten Program.  Not a graduation, but a presentation of all the songs and poems they had learned throughout the year.   Coral, of course, had already messed up her hair and couldn't sit still the whole time.  But that is just one of the things we

Today is our last day of spring break.  For some unknown reason, we had off Thursday through Monday.  And Daniel has been sick for the whole time.  Poor guy.  Carlo even came home from his training in Colorado early to play ball with Daniel and the kid has been sick in bed the whole time.   So, today we are on the couch, the kids are watching "The Rise of the Guardians

I've been wanting to post about the library in Vernal for awhile.  It's kind of funny because as I drive around or go places I'll think to myself, "This would be fun to share."  I really thought when I moved here there would be absolutely nothing to do, but that is far from the truth.  Vernal embraces families.  It's refreshing.   A couple of weeks ago, we went to

I have shoveled the driveway twice in the past two days.  It has been snowing a lot, but it warms up when it snows, so I don't mind.  At least it's not 28 degrees below.  And snow is beautiful.  And quiet. Simply breathtaking. And no.  I don't follow my kids on the bus to school.  I go straight to the gym and get to drive behind them for a tiny stretch.

I was thinking it would be fun to start a blog titled Vegas to Vernal.  Kind of a big city girl gone small town (although if any of you know me, you also know I grew up in a small town).  However, I'll just stick with the one I have. But oh the things you forget about small towns.  Or the things I didn't deal with or know about because I wasn't an adult.  Now I'm living the

I just finished lesson plans for one week of school and as always I am thinking I could spend way more time on them.  While thinking this, I looked up at my messy kitchen and the laundry basket full of clothes beside me and thought that I could spend all of my time on that too.  There just never seems to be an end in sight.  And I'm glad.  Because today I am

The last time I watched the Bellagio fountains, Daniel was in my belly. At least that is the last time I remember. My last day at work was on Friday, August 12th, so I had some time this week to spend time with my two favorite kids. My children thought we were in a completely different city when we started driving down The Strip. In a sense, I suppose it is . . . a place all its own. We had a

Blogging has become difficult for me- finding the time to actually do it.  I know I am not alone in this as I've seen plenty of other friends make comments or blog posts on this subject.  However, we are still here and life is going good.  Great actually. I wanted to share something really quick.  To immortalize it in "web space". We watched "Ramona and Beezus" for our Friday

Disneyland the second time and we felt like pros.  Both kids were braver and went on more rides.  Coral even asked if she could do Splash Mountain.  I would have taken her, but it was freezing outside after getting wet from the drop.  We had so much fun and I look forward to going again.  It seems to get better and better each time.  Watch out!  I'm becoming a

I think I've spoken to many of you who read my blog about the possible good news and change for our family, but I now know it is official. If any of you were hoping we were announcing we were pregnant . . . Well . . . I'm sorry.  That is not the news. Here is the news: I've been offered a job to work for an office furniture supply company called New Life Office as their office manager here

Funny: As I was going to the bathroom, Coral came in and asked if she could wipe me.  Hmmm. . . . Not: My kids both had temperatures last week.  Coral started with another one this week and now Daniel has gotten really sick with a respiratory infection and high fever.  Good thing I have the nebulizer.  I'll be honest- having sick kids stresses me out.  I think it

I heard from some of you that you are sick of looking at the Delorenzis Disneyland vacation.  I mean, how could you be sick of the most magical place on Earth??!!!  Well, do I have a surprise for you!  We are going to Disneyland AGAIN!!!  So excited!  This time we are taking our time and doing every single thing the little ones want to do.  So, stay tuned for more

What a weekend in California complete with Disneyland and an almost trip the ER will do to your kids on the drive home: We get to see Carlo's Mom and Step Dad about once a year.  Of course we wish it could be much, much more, but we always have a ton of fun! This year, they flew out to California and we all went to DISNEYLAND! This was our kids first time plus Grandma Debbie is THE

Should I rant first?  Hmmm . . .  I think I'll do it last or I might forget to update about our life.  lol The play is over.  Yay!  But even though it is over, I have still been busy, busy, busy!  I thought summer was full of nothing!  Yea right. I started working from home last Wednesday as an SEO content writer.  Don't know what that is?  I didn't

For the past week (and for some of next week too), I have taken on the role of "child wrangler" to 18 children performers.  I kind of think of myself as "Mom" to the whole children cast and even to some of the grown ones. Along with watching the kids in the green room, I also do make-up and dress kids in costumes.  The big part of child wrangling is sending them out all ready when it is

I should have posted this on the last post, but I just barely got the pictures from another mom.  Yes, the batteries in my camera died so I didn't get ANY pictures of Daniel's kindergarten graduation. Mom of the Year I tell ya. Thanks to another mom for the memories!

I can't believe it has been a month since our last family update! Sorry if any of you were waiting in suspense (I'm sure none of you really were, but I like to pretend I am important to everyone.  It's fun, you should try it sometime.) A few weeks ago, Uncle Scott (not really an uncle, but we claim him as one) stopped by on his way home from picking up his new, awesome motorcycle. Since I

Coral turned 3 yesterday. I love this age.  They are still tiny and cuddly, but now understand birthdays.Except for when she kept telling everyone "Happy Birthday!" back.Cute. Her presents were all things girly.I knew the day would come.It is still an adjustment since I had a boy first. Barbies, nail polish, lip gloss, dress up. . .  oh, and a bright pink, rainbow and "Girl's Rock"

It's been almost a month since my last post.  I've been spending most of my time over at my other blog I coauthor with one of my dear friends, Eva.  I've learned a lot, connected with some very talented women and have started sewing again.  This is the conclusion I've come to: I like sewing better then cooking or baking.  I don't have to do dishes when I am finished and I

My allergies are killing me.  If it's not the itchy eyes I want to scratch out, then it's the runny nose or the itchy skin or the constant sneezing (sneezing more than three times should not be allowed- I'm going to make that a rule on my own planet when I create it) and then there is the coughing that starts and then the wheezing because I can't breath . . .  and I said I like spring.

I stayed up until midnight baking and putting together some fun snacks for Daniel's class. It was all worth it when he told me that the kid who always picks on him ran up, gave him a hug and said, "I love you." Who said you can't get popular with some cookies?! I can't get the picture to turn the right way.  Those darn leprachauns! And Daniel's teacher asked me to to be in charge of and

I feel like I have dropped off the face of the Earth.  I'm not going to lie and say my life (and stress level) has been easy for the past month.  I'm so tired of sickness and poor health . . . but the good news . . .  I think we are finally on the upside.  And this week, I haven't been crying every day. Do you every get like that when you are really sick?  Cry and
