Benton had tubes put in on Thursday. It should help quite a bit - though it is bringing back a lot of memories (drops in the ears, silly putty during baths). He has taken an interest in the profession (at least for a day or two) and took it out on those patient cats.... get it? patient...

Can you say Dikita?

I couldn't ask for a more tender or sweet little girl! You are by far my most favorite skibob in the world. xoxoxo

Benton's first painting... gone bad.

2010-11-10T19:47:00.001-07:00

Benton came and visited the studio today. He wanted to paint and who am I to turn him down right? All went well until it was time to give up the brush... You can tell from the pix that it looks like he got shot in the head with paint. Luckily we were able to get it right off, but Ben does have his first finished painting... Way to go B-Rock.

I've never been more proud...

2010-07-07T17:25:00.001-06:00

Last week Julia went painting with Gary and myself. She had been wanting to for a while and we were thrilled to have her finally join us. She produced two paintings, both fantastic as they were done en plein air. She entered the first one into a competition where it sold! (no shock to either Gary or myself). Maybe she'll keep this up and I can quit my job...

2010-07-06T08:34:00.001-06:00

I thought that I could preview some new paintings that I am working on...

we had an owl.

2010-06-24T07:41:00.001-06:00

This owl showed up for a day and entertained us til dark. Rem is still talking about it. I thought it was fake when I first saw it, you know, a spy camera spying on us or something like that. Very sneaky if you ask me...

Kittens

2010-06-17T21:12:00.002-06:00

We got the kids two kittens and boy do they adore them. Ben loves 'em so much that they flee for shelter when he comes in the room.

2010-06-05T19:44:00.001-06:00

I blog this photo not only to show that Ben was 'arry potter two years in a row at the HUCC Carnival but also to prove that yes I can grow something that resembles a moustache. I know that you're jealous.

Salut mes amis!

2010-06-02T08:12:00.001-06:00

We're back online after a short hiatus and the kids are still as "out there" as ever.

Rem and Ben came to the studio this week and got a chance to "work with daddy". It is amazing what a 2 year old can produce.

Benton is 2!

2010-04-12T20:31:00.002-06:00

Why would I post these pictures for Benton's birthday? Who knows... I just happen to think that they speak to their personalities. Remlee is a bit dikita and Benton is a bit sweet. Happy birthday Benton! My life is blessed by your tender little heart. XOXOXO JBob

How do you spell your name? Who do you like more, your mother or your father? Why are you wearing shorts? Are you simple? These are some of my favorite and most often heard phrases from my dear Grandpa B. Bless your heart. I love you and miss you more than you can imagine. I owe you and am so grateful for everything that you have done. Hopefully I can pay it forward like you did for me.

February & Benton = Happy

2010-02-19T08:07:00.001-07:00

I kind of hate the winter, but for Benton there is nothing better than 25 degrees of cold.

Benton in the snow

2009-11-25T16:56:00.001-07:00

I love this pic of Ben in the snow. It was just so magical to him - until he put his hands in the snow and realized it was a tad colder than he wanted to be.

Happy Birthday Ski-bob!

2009-11-14T20:27:00.003-07:00

But seriously - I LOVE this quirky kiddo!!! We've been so blessed to have her tender heart in our lives for the last 4 years and we look forward to many many many MANY more. Happy birthday and gros bisous!

Can you believe it? Remz'll be 4 this week - I'll post pix of her l8r this week but I thought that this was appropriate to start off the week.

Ring aling ding bros. Barnin' and Baylee Circus

2009-09-26T20:42:00.002-06:00

We had a killer, surreal experience at the circus on Thursday. You can tell by the pix that we had a VERY happy Remski. She got to see everything that she hoped to; the horses, the zebras, the amazing elephants (so cute how they grab each others tails) and finally the jumping and dancing tigers. As the horses were leaving the arena Rem yelled out at the top of her lungs, "GOODBYE HORSES, I LOVE YOU!" It was a night to remember. Thx Trev!

Mt. Olympus.... Conquered

2009-09-21T19:53:00.001-06:00

It isn't every weekend that we're able to be without the kiddos (thx grandpops/ma). Instead of perhaps sleeping in on the morning without Ben yelling to get out of his crib at 6:45am we were on the trail to hike Oly. All that I can say is that if you haven't taken the opportunity to do it, you're the one missing out. It isn't the easiest walk in the park but definitely worth it. I've done it 7 or 8 times and each time I'm blown away. What did Leo say? I'm on top of the world!!! Something like that anyway.

First Day o' Skool 2009

2009-09-12T09:52:00.001-06:00

Can you tell that Rem was a bit excited to go back to school? I don't know where she came from because I was never this excited for school.

pix o' the week

2009-09-09T18:41:00.001-06:00

Who could resist these sweet faces? Not me. We're thrilled to have Grandmère and Papamark home for a spell. Rem started school today and so I'll post that as soon as I get it off the camera. Why do they have to grow so quick?

Grandma Pugh

2009-09-04T13:07:00.001-06:00

Goodbye for now Grandma. I wish that I could fully express my gratitude for you. I'm grateful that you took interest in me and my artwork. I loved talking and producing art with you. I will always love the memories of you teaching me to watercolor. I'm grateful that you put up with me and my friends playing pool at your home and were so gracious to us. I'll always remember having a Tab and peanut butter sandwhich after a long afternoon of landscaping. I'll always be grateful that you were there when I proposed to Julia. Thank you so much. Dieu soit avec toi jusqu'au revoir.

Cecret Lake

2009-08-24T19:50:00.001-06:00

Every year we like to head up to Cecret Lake and this year was just as fun as ever... That is once Rem stopped whining half way up and was able to start throwing rocks into the lake. It also ended on a high note as Ben tripped and fell covering himself in dirt. Even Jules looked like she was having fun.

cousins

2009-08-21T07:28:00.003-06:00

We had an evening with cousins tonight and here are the highlights: there's the lineup, chasing their shadows, running home and what in the world is Josh running from?

Yes indeed - those signs that are intended to warn drivers about deer, I ran into one.

Benton Pix

2009-06-22T08:08:00.002-06:00

Ski Bob

2009-06-02T07:58:00.001-06:00

I just love my little ski-bob. She's growing so fast and I can't stand it. She just finished her first year of preschool and I secretly wish that we could just bottle up this age and keep it forever. She is so tender and sweet. When Ben gets to hang out in his crib, she'll climb on in to make sure that he has someone to play with. I absolutely love her singing and the lyrics that she makes up. I love that she gets so proud of herself when she does something on her own. Remski - you're the best ever!

I love this weather!!!

2009-05-20T19:29:00.001-06:00

I absolutely love the early summer!!! It isn't too hot and the kids just want to play outdoors. I can't think of much better. We took the chance to go to the park this evening to play and it was beautiful.

Yippee! I'm thrilled to announce that I did in fact get a painting titled, "Gathering at the Barn" into the Springville Salon this year. It opens April 26th and goes until July 5th. For more information, follow this link: Springville Museum of Art .

Farewell For Now

2009-04-14T19:02:00.001-06:00

We had the pleasure of having Grandmére and PapaMark home for a few weeks and loved every stinkin' second of it. It's tough to say goodbye so we'll just say au revoir for now.

Love you two sooo much

Happy Easter!

2009-04-14T18:56:00.002-06:00

Happy Easter to one and all. The easter egg hunt was a total success and the weather was better than we thought it would be. Rem and Ben had a great time with the cousins and hated to leave the first hunt only to find that the easter bunny had left eggs at a friends home too. What a fantastic day!

Happy Birthday B-Rock!

Love the Pughs! Word.

Spring! Hallelujah!

2009-03-11T15:33:00.001-06:00

I really don't have much to post, but I feel so bad that I don't post frequently enough so voila! Pix - Rem was enjoying one of her many shows over a nice cup of choca milk. Doesn't she just look so sophisticated holding the cup that way. Julia and I were able to take a quick vacation/work trip down to Palm Desert last week and took the chance to hike through Snow Canyon. It really is one of my most favorite places.
Ben is almost walking and has reached the age where he needs to touch anything/everything within grabbing distance (and yes indeed that is Street Fighter 2 wallpaper on the computer).

Sleeping Beauty

2009-02-25T19:12:00.002-07:00

The picture of Rem lying down with a shroud over her face happens to coincide with us watching Sleeping Beauty. When Aurora pricks her finger and falls asleep, Rem insists on creating a bed on the ground and watch the rest of the movie there until Prince Phillip comes and wakes her with a kiss. Most of the time she insists that we kiss her awake as well. What an imagination. I still don't know why she covered her face...

Eegs... Where did January go?

2009-02-13T21:28:00.001-07:00

Seriously where did it go? It seems like last week I posted and already that dang groundhog saw its stinkin' shadow. Here are a few new pix. Rem and I made cookies last sunday and she really seemed to have fun... but not nearly as much fun as Ju decorating her Valentines cookie. As far as news, the biggest and best thing that ever happened this year was the day that Rem decided that she wanted to use the potty. Hallelujah!!!! Let me say that one more time... HALLELUJAH!!! ok so that is about as exciting as it gets in the Pugh home.

Updates Galore!

2009-01-10T21:29:00.001-07:00

Boy are we glad that 2008 ended. As far as updates: Orange Hats and Blue Eyes always look good together. Benton is getting two teeth and is still barely breaching the 1% for weight. Awesome. Rem on the other hand is wearing clothing that shouldn't fit for another 18 months or so. As far as the parents go - I'm still painting and Ju is still teaching.

When I grow up...

2009-01-03T18:35:00.001-07:00

I was thinking - when I grow up and get old - which one will I be?

Joyeux Noël et tout ça!

2008-12-20T13:57:00.002-07:00

Merry Christmas! I know that if I don't post today I won't get to it before Christmas comes. I hope that everyone gets what they hope for and gives more than they think that they are able.

All of our love

SANTA!!!

2008-12-09T20:10:00.002-07:00

Every year we visit Santa and to this point, Rem has been pretty weirded out by him. This year, though, Rem wasn't quite as freaked out and panicked right before she was supposed to sit on his lap. As with most things, Ben didn't care either way, he was just content to get back into the warm car and go home.

Family Photo 2008

2008-12-01T08:13:00.004-07:00

We decided that it was about time to have our family picture taken, especially with the holidays approaching. Who would we have do it besides our favorite photographer Natalie? The kids held up rather well and she did an amazing job as always. Follow this link to view her blog and some of her favorites from the shoot.

Gratitude 2008

2008-11-27T11:38:00.006-07:00

Happy Thanksgiving one and all! I'm gonna list at least a few things that I'm most grateful:

A happy Benton who is a sweet baby brother

A wonderful Julia who is the most amazing companion and mother

A sweet Remlee who is a great big sister

2008-11-15T10:14:00.011-07:00

3 years ago we were blessed to have our favorite quirky little girl join our family. Here are a "few" pix of her life. For the love, I wish that I could have gotten them in order.

Dramatic Rem and Crawling Ben

2008-11-08T09:53:00.001-07:00

Rem has developed a real dramatic side and it's been really quite entertaining. I've picked a couple of pix that really show her "flare".

In other news, it's true! Benton is crawling - he just couldn't stand to roll around any more.

Park City, etc.

2008-10-29T20:16:00.001-06:00

Every year we are able to spend a weekend in Park City with Julia's family. It is a chance for the girls to shop and the boys to go get some work done (if you call photographing source material for our paintings work). The weather was gorgeous and we were able to get some pictures of the family. I just love trying to get everyone together and smiling for a camera set on timer. I think that this one that i've posted is the most normal.

Rem is getting so excited to be Cinderlella for Halloween and has worn her dress daily and will most likely wear it for weeks afterwards.

Lastly - this morning Rem really wanted to help feed Benton. All that I can say is awesome.

Mid October Updates

2008-10-13T20:20:00.000-06:00

I hadn't posted any pix of the kids for a month or so and it seemed about time. First is a pic of Rem with her cousin down in St. George. The other two are obviously Ben.

Go Red Sox!

26.2

2008-10-06T08:22:00.003-06:00

This last weekend was the St. George marathon and for the first time in my life I participated rather than watched. I spent all spring and summer long training with my sister Mindy and felt like I was as prepared as I could be. If any of you noticed the weather this last weekend, you probably noticed that the temperature plummeted and St. George was no exception. It rained and rained and rained some more and really it rained some more after that.

I wouldn't say that I had a terribly pleasant experience, I don't think that anyone did, but it was certainly a humbling experience. I had heard that the first marathon was a sort of spiritual experience and I'm not gonna lie, unless you've done it, it is a tough thing to explain. My initial goal was to finish the marathon and secondly to beat the 4hr mark. It certainly seemed like I was gonna easily break it as I was still with the 3hr 30 min group past the half way mark, but fatigue and I imagine some hypothermia set in and I slowed down. About .5 miles from the end, my sister showed up out of no where and ran with me until the chute. It made all the difference in the world to see her at that point. I finished at 3hr 48 min. I can't express enough how proud I am of myself and the work I put into this race. I only wonder how much better I would have done in better conditions... Regardless, I can't wait for the next one.

PS gros bisous and super big thx to Ju, the kiddos, MOOOOO!!! and all the fam for their support.

Gallery Stroll

2008-09-19T08:04:00.017-06:00

Tonight is gallery stroll and I have two openings. I know that I should post stuff earlier than the day of, but slacker me... I've posted the card for one of the two. The other show is at the Evergreen Framing Co. and Gallery located at 2000 East and 3300 South and goes throughout the evening. Gallery Stroll is always a blast!

Otherwise, not much else is going on. Remlee loves school and can't wait for Mondays and Fridays to come. I'm finally posting the pic from her first day. Benton continues to grow and is as happy as can be. He developed croup a couple of weeks ago but thankfully we caught it pretty early on and he recovered almost overnight. Thank heavens for modern medicine!

Big Blue Slides

2008-08-29T08:51:00.000-06:00

The summer always seems to come and go too quickly. We're trying to spend as much time as possible at the park before it turns too cold. Rem absolutely loves the park behind our house that has this blue slide. (Note the wicked awesome Hello Kitty T-shirt with the guitar that lights up - it's one of Rem's favorite T's) Rem starts preschool next Friday - I never really thought that the day would come when she left for school, even if it is only for a few hours a week. Both kids are just growing too quickly.

More Cali Pix

2008-08-20T21:36:00.000-06:00

California 2008

2008-08-20T21:33:00.000-06:00

California was wicked awesome. We spent what seemed like every second at the beach. We did take one day to hit disleyland for Remski. She was able to see a few of her favorite friends including Ariel and most importantly Pooh. I can't say that I want to go back soon, but Rem would love it so I'm sure we will. Benton is growing like mad and is still just a happy little boy. I didn't think that the second kid was supposed to be easier than the first, but we're not complaining. Otherwise not much else is going on chez les Pughs. I just needed to post to make sure that people knew we were still alive.

July Updates

2008-07-24T07:28:00.001-06:00

I know, I know. What in the world am I doing updating this more than once a month? I wanted to post a couple of pictures of les enfants. They are both just growing so much. It seems like yesterday that we were bringing Rem home from the hospital and now she seems like a little girl.

I also wanted to say congratulations to my beautiful wife. We are celebrating our 8th anniversary this weekend and I must say that she certainly has put up with a lot in that time. I really am the luckiest man in the world to be married to her. She is so patient, kind, sweet, talented and obviously beautiful.

Bastille Day Yesterday

2008-07-15T07:41:00.002-06:00

Not that most American's care, but yesterday was Bastille Day. I love Bastille Day, those crazy French and their celebrations. I haven't posted in what seems like forever and this post won't be too long either. I mostly just wanted to put a link to one of our friends blogs. She is an amazing photographer and has done several shoots of not only Rem, but all of the Pugh/Smith Grandkids. On Saturday she came and did a shoot for Baby Benton, so please enjoy: http://nhsphotography.blogspot.com/

One last note: Training for the marathon, best thing in the world.

It's June Already!

2008-06-14T19:30:00.007-06:00

It has been a few weeks between posts and I really should be better at this. I wanted to post a couple of pictures as it has been a while. Today was the birthday party for Remlee and Bentons cousins. They had quite a bit of fun while they were there. Rem was able to get her face painted like a dog and Ben sat there.

We did bless Benton a couple of weeks ago. We tried to take a picture with as many family members as possible and as you can see it came out pretty much par for the course. Kids running around, parents trying to catch them.

Otherwise, we've been pretty low key at the Pugh home. Remlee and Benton have pretty much absorbed any free time that we might have once had. I remember that at one point we had a social life, I just don't remember what it feels like.

One other note: Next week (June 20-21) is the 2nd annual Thanksgiving Point Plein Air show. I've attached the flyer and hope that people will be able attend.

Bedtime

2008-05-21T21:18:00.002-06:00

Bedtime has been the most exciting part of the Pugh home these days. Some nights Rem goes down easy, other nights Ben. On the rare night, neither go to bed ontime, i.e. last Saturday night both kids were up until about 11:30 pm. Fortunately those are few and far between. The most rare and by far best evenings are the nights when both go down early. We had to post these pictures from a few days ago. Mostly it is Benton crying and Remlee being, well, Remlee. (Can you say quirky?)

One other short story. We had put Rem down and usually we'll check on her right before we go to sleep. Sometimes we find her on the ground next to the door or using Pooh Bear as a pillow. This night, she had climbed onto the changing table (without the changing pad) and was totally asleep. Maybe it's just me, but if I had a choice between a soft bed and a hard changing table, I'd pick the changing table every time.

Weekly Updates

So.... let's be honest. Not much has happened in the Pugh home for a bit. Not that we're complaining. Ben is growing and sleeping longer increments. (hallelujah!) Rem has been such a good helper. She shoves the pacifier in his mouth whether he wants it or not. Bless her sweet big sister heart.

Just a side note on the pix: Rem and Lucy the artistes extraordinaire. Rem before church on Sunday and last but not least Ben.

Too Long Between Posts

2008-04-30T07:25:00.006-06:00

Quite a bit has happened since I last posted. We had to say goodbye to Grandmère and PapaMark again, which is always a stinker. The night before we all got together and we were able to get PapaMark to sing for the grand kids. I remember when we were young, all of my sisters would gather together and sing folk songs (à la A Mighty Wind). PapaMark sang a couple old favorites like "Daddy's Taking Us To The Zoo" (which Rem has continued to sing even a few days ago). We loved having them here as long as we could and so glad that they were able to see Benton.
We were able to take Rem and Ben to the Dinosaur Museum a couple of weeks ago. She loved dressing up as a dinosaur and loved playing in their giant sandbox. She found a pet dinosaur and it looks like I had a great time too. (Ben slept through it)

I figured that I should post another pic of Ben as well. He has grown so much and will already be a month old this Friday. It is crazy how quickly the time passes.

One last note for the Blog. The Springville Salon just opened and I'm thrilled to announce that I was able to get two paintings accepted. It would have been absolutely perfect to get one of them in, so I was on cloud 9 to hear that not only were both accepted, but that I received 2nd place for the show! We have felt pretty grateful for this, mostly because there are so many other amazing artists that submitted work. I'll post the pics of the paintings, but they look even better in person (hint, hint)

Remski and B-Rock

2008-04-15T19:05:00.003-06:00

This last weekend was killer for Rem. Not only was the weather perfect, but Rem was able to spend it outside. She has been getting used to the idea of baby Benton, and we tried to help the situation by putting together her Christmas gift. That's right I said Christmas gift. This was the first decent weekend since the holiday so we finally pulled out the play house and Grandmère put it together. Grandmère was also sweet enough and bought her this totally wicked awesome slide. We have loved having Grandmère and PapaMark here for the last 10 days or so. Rem has been able to spend so much time with them and has loved every second. It'll be sad to see them head back to New Zealand.
In other news, Rem really has been super sweet with Ben. We even have these pictures of them together. They sure are stinkin' cute if I say so myself.

Dressing with Rem and the Boy finally shows up!

2008-04-08T21:24:00.009-06:00

We've been letting Rem dress herself, I don't know that it is always a great idea, but it makes her happy. She sure does love her snow boots.

So Benton finally showed up. We didn't think that he would, but on Friday the 4th, we went to the hospital and on Sunday we came home with our favorite new addition. Mommy and baby are good, but tired. Here are a few pics:

YOGA!!! and other awesome stuff

2008-03-26T19:49:00.006-06:00

So I had promised to post some of these awesome pictures of Rem doing yoga. The best part is that she has just watched Julia doing it and remembers these poses. Julia found her awesome yellow glasses and Rem just looks so special in them. Lastly, there is a video of Rem singing her version of Jingle Bells and saying hi to her grandmère and papa-mark.

Easter 2008!

2008-03-24T18:28:00.009-06:00

Another Easter has come and gone. We had an easter egg hunt with the cousins on Saturday. Rem had a blast and really stayed focused for quite a while. The trampoline happened to be the most exciting part of the day. Sunday was spent at Grandma's for more eggs. Don't you just love the neopolitan dress. So cute!

Oh and 15 days, not that we're counting!
