I-da-ho?

2 of my favorite travel buddies- we've traveled across the seas, but this is our first time to Idaho together. And the Duncan farm* potato-growers did not disappoint.

My lifetime travel partner, together through the peaks and valleys.


*look for the "Mart Produce" label at your local Harmon's to find family owned and family grown potatoes from Rupert Idaho. And althrough "cane sugar" sounds nice, "beet sugar" is actually more local and delivers the same quality, again coming from Idaho.

oohhh, aahhh



A special Valentine's dinner just calls for a special dessert. Only those who are truly loved deserve something as labor intensive and tempermental as Chocolate Souffle. Oh, but when it's served piping hot, all smooth and fluffy with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream... it just melts your heart.

girls getaway

one man with about 16 girls? grandpa stander is a lucky guy!
dave's aunt jeanette was kind enough to invite all the girls in the family down to st. george for a weekend o' fun. we shopped, talked, got massages, relaxed, ate, and most importantly did lots of crafts!!
judy surprised megan and i with matching valentine's pajamas- oh, so comfy!
thomas, ashley, marianne, joan, judy

grandma stander collected thousands of buttons, so we decided to put them to use. you can't be upset in heaven, right?
just a glimpse of our many crafts- think bracelets, headbands, blankets, cake stands and more. you would think our last name was etsy.
