Have you joined the Pinterest world yet?   Get ready for creativity unplugged. I have been saving these cake photos because they are so darn cute. I couldn't figure out how to get them onto pinterest without publishing them somehow.  I'm sad I don't have the original link.  Boo.  But maybe they will inspire!  They have me! Of Course....the cutest little cake eater ever.....

It's the end of May. How could I forget my little blog that I was so committed to keep up for every day in April?? So goes the way my mind and attention span works. I've got loads. I mean loads of stuff to catch up on here. But I'll have to do it another day. I am sitting in the endless line of cars and people trying to cross the border into the United States. The wi-fi is sketchy to say

But if I keep ignoring it........I decided to spend 30 minutes a day focused on one room.It really works.In theory.I'll start tomorrow.I got distracted from de-cluttering when I went into my Sewing Room Closet.Sheesh!

I set a goal. I plan on following my delightful friends, Jen, Allison & Suzanne, and try to blog a post a day in April.  Something about that day.  Something about the fun events I have missed blogging about. And one daily gratitude.   It's April 4th.I'm only 4 days behind.  Thats good.  Because it could be the 22nd and I could be very discouraged!But I'm still optimistic about doing this.

We are usually a Pinochle playing family.Completely competitive. Laugh in their face when their down. Matches that have lasted for years.Really. Years. Keith's ahead but not by much. But pinochle is a very structured 3 or 4 person game.There was too many home to play pinochle.Looks like the next best thing is Poker.Alec got a great poker set from Santa. Nice. Santa respects us Vegas

A post or two ago I revealed a deep dark secret. Only known to the few teenagers that snuck into that room through the doggie door hoping to find Jake or Alec awake and available for some sort of shenanigans, I'm sure. Cowards. Never had the guts to call me out on my little secret. My housekeeper knew and she would offer to come over and throw every single thing away and organize it for me

Without fail my favorite week of every year in the 4th week of November. It has family, food, celebration, food, gatherings, family and more food. Pretty much sums up my favorite things! :) This year did not let us down.It started with a wonderful Thanksgiving. Rod and Cindy hosted us at their house. Its always a blast at their house. There was so many little kids running around. All

So I had some things I wanted to get done before the real Christmas joy (Pressure) began. I love a good list. Lists calm my nerves. Lists help me calm and take claim of my hectic life. All these goals I wanted to have done by Tomorrow, November 30th. Jake gave me the greatest quote.A goal is just a wish until you write it downHow true is that. Then the written down version becomes a gun to

I've heard it was November. November? November the 16th already. Sheesh!! Time flies when we are having fun I guess!Halloween is starting to get fun again around here. Little Reese was the cutest little kitty cat! She's just growing so fast and we cannot wait for her (and Alec and Tiff) to get here for the holidays. You know me....8 more days. I love a countdown!And like any respectable

I went to Relief Society once this year.(I know. It's a problem) But what a wonderful lesson for me. It gave words and clarity to some feelings I had been having but hadn't been able to articulate.This is a quote from Elder Uchdorf, President Uchdorf, the Amazing Uchdorf (What the heck should I be calling him?)...see-I really should be getting to RS more often!I'm not inactive just more at home

Rain that lasted for a couple hours.  So unusual to have this much moisture...that I may or may not have left my phone sitting on the BBQ.  Whoops!  Please include it in your prayers. 2.  We had great plans for a yummy dinner a couple nights ago.  Fresh home from a quick trip

One of my favorite projects in the last while has been quilts made especially FOR someone specific. From the choosing of the fabrics and patterns to the cutting, stitching, & ripping of the quilt.Every step of the way I think about the specific person for which it is being made. I think of the role they have played in my life. The role I hope I have played in theirs. How much I love them and

I blogged 1 time in the last ten months. Shameful. I hate when people don't keep up their blogs. I miss them. But back to the no blogging thing.In the last 10 months whilst my blog sat ignored...there was a lot of living going on. In these quiet blog months there has been joy, laughter, adventure, loss, clarity, heartbreak, spiritual gain, miracles, fun, traditions made, traditions lost,

Since I am appreciating the extraordinary in the ordinary - yesterday was almost perfect. I was juggling preparations for two different activities. Both fun events. I had to run over to pick up Keith's prescription that he renews every month clear across the valley because he thinks its funny that the pharmacist's wife looks like Suzanne Somers. She does not.

How is it that my beautiful niece Alyssa can take a normal weekend and make it seem extraordinary? I've been thinking alot about her lately and bragging alot about her lately. Why Alyssa? Because she tells me about her weekend!! Well she doesn't exactly tell ME about her weekend but she writes about it on her blog here. She is consistent. She keeps her blog updated even when nothing

It's been a while since I've done a Jake update. Do I need to remind you that I think he is adorable, smart, funny, witty, honorable, loyal.....what? Oh I already told you that 149,642,782 times? Okay fine. I still think it though :)He is on his 3rd change (non-change?) in Guayaquil and wishes he could stay there the rest of his time. He loves being a Zone Leader. He's been blessed with

I wasn't sure if it would even happen. Gram's Beach Party 2009 had lots of obstacles this year. But in true Grammy fashion....it was a huge success with tons of memories and adventures packed into 4 short days. We missed Gram so much. But we felt her presence and we know she would have loved every moment of it. Even in Mexico. Teehee. Inside joke. She and my dad really taught us how to embrace

I've been like a momma bird watching her nest the last few days:) I knew it had to be close. MommyBird has been a little extra antsy and hanging around more. I'm sure it couldn't possibly be because this human mommy (me) keeps hanging around her nest! I kept checking out the window today for a moment when MommyBird was gone and made my move.

I found this little treasure a couple weeks ago.  What a beautiful little nursery this mommy has made for her future little ones.  I'm absolutely positive she would prefer me to keep my big ugly camera lens away from her precious cargo.  But to be able to witness one of God's quiet miracles up close is just too hard to resist!  I'll keep you posted!

The annual 4th of July party this year was a blast.  It was so fun to be back together again after we skipped last year.  A few of us ditched out in '08 and celebrated with a little REBELious activity and spent the 4th in Australia.  But it was business as usual this year!What a great blessing to have such a big family and good friends that I love so dearly.  The house and yard clearly had

One of my favorite things about my family is that you just put a couple of us together and BAM!!!! a party breaks out. Today was no exception.  A fun chatterfest, pool party, mini quilt camp, hubbubalooh!  I love Summer!Tyson Is a beast!  Haha the tree brings that out in a lot of people when the temperatures rise in the Summer.  Of course, King Keith keeps the pool a balmy 90 degrees.  I actually

Sunday evenings are usually quiet around the Runyon house. King Keith and I were enjoying a cool evening on the patio after a couple of very hectic days. We were enjoying catching up and chattering about this and that. One of the topics was the excitement brewing in France regarding the possibility of Roger Federer having an opportunity to win the French Open. He looked over at me and very

Jake has a new companion for a few weeks.  He's actually in a 3 person companionship.  The newest Elder in an Oatovaleno.  A Native Indian from Northern Peru.  They are a culture that the Church allows to maintain a lot of their native attire.  They never cut their hair from birth.  The men wear a long braid down their back.  They also are allowed to wear traditional footwear, white pants and as

Some of the Leavitt girls got together and made a trip to the Ozarks for what we hope is the 1st of many annual Leavitt Girls Quilt Camps.  You are just going to have to trust me on this.  QUILT CAMP ROCKS!I am very confidant that Kadee, Elizabeth, Alyssa, Melissa and Tiffany, who are very hip and very cool young women, will agree with me.  I wish there was more time and more space so that all of

A little warm spot from Jake this week.  It made me stop and say a prayer of gratitude.  I am grateful for him.  For his unwavering faith.  For his determination to press forward.  His joyful heart.  It's just a few words but they made this mom stop and say "Thank You Father""I love you fam, and I am working hard. I love the gospel, and I am learning so much. My goal is just to have this firm and

King Keith had a few surprises up his sleeve this year.  He planted a few little seeds he didn't tell me about.  Now this is what I call a Sunflower!  Wow! What a beauty.  I think she is almost 7 feet tall and the flower itself is probably 14-16 inches in diameter.  What a beautiful touch!He's a softy under that tough guy exterior!I myself did a LOT of Reaping hehe get it?  ripping...like ripping

The bad news.....Keith's Porsche has had chronic battery problems. We have had to charge that battery so many times I have lost count. Finally, King Keith accepted the fact that he couldn't just charge it up one more time.  He and Alec got a little grease under their nails and replaced the battery.  My question is this;  Shouldn't a car that costs that much just WORK?!?.... like all the time?

It didn't happen at the first practice as I was expecting. But since there wasn't a second practice or a 7th inning..it will have to be a tie. It only took the first five minutes of the first game until we had this.There were better moments though.King Keith was busy all weekend making our home beautiful. His touch can be seen in every direction.  He makes me happy.

Why do I count the days until Jake comes home?   I get letters like these and I am so grateful for him and the opportunities he has to serve the people of Ecuador.  I am so happy for the experiences he is having.  He is such a joy as a son and young man.   He once wrote that "if it weren't for my family, I would stay in Ecuador and serve the Lord forever."

I finished up Alec and Tiffany's Christmas present last week and delivered it to them. Yes, it is March. But did you notice the part about "I finished" it. That doesn't happen all that often with my projects.I love this particular project because I started it and made most of it under the watchful care of my mom.

Jakes letter this week brought the usual newsy banter that I have come to love each Monday.  Updates on his work, his adventures, his companions, his day to day activities.  I breathe in each word like I've been holding my breath for a week.  I try to read between the lines to see if there is anything I have missed or any mishaps or sadness being hidden.  (I don't know who started the whole "

A great evening of fun was had in January when Angie and I headed out for an evening with Donnie and Marie at the Flamingo. Keith and I gave her a VIP package for Christmas. She was SO excited! She is so much fun to give presents to.Angies dress could be a topic for its very own blog. We call it her "Neil Diamond" dress. In her own words it took super glue, shoe laces and a wench to get that

It is Jake's birthday next week. I can't believe my little toe-headed booboo will be 20. He can only get his emails once a week on Monday. Will you send him a "Happy Birthday"? His email is jakerunyon@myldsmail.net. I know he would love it!

Keith loves a good "hard-work Saturday"  Needless to say, the boys and I aren't quite as excited about them as he is.  He LOVES to work in the yard and clean/hose out the garage and wash cars.  I've spent most Saturdays since early childhood trying to stay out of site so I could just laze around.Alec and Tiffany sent these photos from their Saturdays activities.I know Keith is proud.

What a blast I am having here at my sisters house/quilt store (I have been eat/sleep/dream quilting)  I love it here.  Tonight as I type I am bundled under blankets-with the window wide open.  Cold fresh air.  I love it.Christine and her husband Larry have a lovely home in Illinois.  It has a wonderful spirit and they make me feel so at home with them.This was a crazy busy weekend for my sister.

I followed my Father's example today. I voted. He never missed an opportunity to vote his entire life. Never. He voted in every single election.   Even those strange ones that pop up out of no where.  He was such a good man.I got a little misty-eyed at the voting place. Twice while I was there a shout was made "1st time voter!" and the whole place would burst into applause and cheers.  Both

Why shouldn't October be a fun month? The weather is awesome. The Holidays are around the corner. The real tax deadline passes (ok thats not fun but it is nice to put 2007 to bed). Jake hits his 9 month mark. General Conference. University of Utah has their hunter's break which means Alec & Tiffany got to come home and stay a while!We enjoyed having the kids down for a few days. I was sad

I attended a funeral this week of a young man. I knew this young man and mourned the loss of his short life. As with most people, I pictured him in my head as my thoughts turned to him and his family. Imagine my horror, confusion and joy as I saw this young man walk into his own funeral!! Immediately all the files in my brain went into action....who? what!? Holy Snikees!My mind had confused

I have a big favor to ask.  It's an easy favor.  It's one of those "you'd be my hero if you did this" kind of favor."My sweet sister, Christine, has embarked on a great adventure.  She is the most talented, good hearted, Christlike person I know.  (This might sound like a big suck-up-but this time it is all true!)  She has opened a quilt store.  An amazing selection of fabrics, kits, gifts.  Her

I love almost everything about the Olympics. Channel 3 is on nearly every waking moment, on every TV in the house (except when Big Brother 10 & Project Runway are on) I've even stalked MSNBC, CNBC, USA and any other channel that shows Olympics XXIX in the guide. But....yep, here is the but......what's with the Beach Volleyball. In 1996 I was fortunate enough to attend the Summer Olympics

It's hard work to sun, sleep, tan, eat and still be a home (sand-castle) maker. But alas....someone has to do it.We didn't actually build this one...we could only get our beach babe bums off the beachchairs long enough to take this photo and grab another Ho-Ho. Okay thats not true either...they were twinkies. The beach is awesome and all the sweeter with a little help from my friends!\>
