Photo Friday

I was perusing pictures on my computer and came across this one.

Photo Friday

Here's a photo from Into the Woods rehearsal this week. We're almost half way through the run, and our whole family seems to be surviving. So far, so good!

Photo Friday!

Sisters, sisters....sharing, caring...

Name that song.

Little terror in the kitchen.  Such a cute terror though!

Photo Friday

Sometimes, we go to awesome parks in the mountains with Cascading Springs... 

Sometimes, we look at beautiful double rainbows

Sometimes, we paint our room. Unfortunately,we don't have a finished picture on the computer. And I never took a picture of Patrick painting cuz he did most of it while I was gone...woops. 

Sometimes, Patrick just takes pictures of my hair. This also doubles as a "before" picture of our room.

So sometimes I take pictures of Patrick's hair

and this was a year ago.... I think it's supposed to happen again soon....

Tuesday Memory - The Chair

I was so thrilled to see the picture of the "generational" chair with three of the fifth generation sitting in it.  I thought I would share how "the chair" came to the Hutchings family. 

The first time I remember seeing "the chair" was in the basement of the Workman home in West Jordan.  I though it was a cool chair and it was comfortable.  If my memory is correct, grandma and grandpa purchased the chair from the family furniture store in Delta.  The chair moved to Provo and then it was time to move on.

It was given to Greg and Jo who enjoyed it for awhile but then decided it no longer fit their family and took it to a garage sale.  We happened to be in Provo at the time, saw the chair and could not  believe they were selling it.  We gave $20 and put it in our trunk.  Yes, the chair and ottoman did fit in our trunk.  Oh, yea, it was the Lincoln. 

From there it followed, or went with us, around the Untied States and I guess really did become a part of our family fixtures before moving on to James and Liz. 

Thank you for taking a farewell picture of a piece of family history.  I guess, it is about 50 years old.

Memory Tuesday

I was hoping to have a video to go with my memory today, but it hasn't been emailed to me yet.  This last Saturday, we had our first ever ward talent show.  I think they figure since they have a ward music chair, they should use her. (Yah, that is me.)  It was a great success and loads of fun.  The highlight of the evening however, was my family.  No, I am not just saying that, everybody else did.  Joe and the kids did the John Williams tribute.  If Joe hasn't shown you, you tube it.  It was a riot.  Even David was up there singing. 

So, the memory part.  Several people came up to me and commented on the performance.  The one comment that sticks in my mind is, "You guys are like the Vontrap family (probably spelled that wrong).  It reminded me of singing together as a family.  I don't know if that was a comment ever made, but I do remember being referred to as the "MOTAB family". I always loved singing together and have many great memories of doing so.  Who could forget the sociable?  Good times.

Evening Herd

Saw this outside my front window a few minutes ago...while I was talking to Marquie on the phone.  Just wanted to share!
