2nd Nephi 25:26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins ( Read more... )

I realized something looking at my wedding ring on my finger. I have really pretty hands. I really like my hands. That is saying a lot considering that I have been called man-hands and was told by a boy I liked, on a date, that my hands were rough when he held mine... embarrassing!!! I remember looking at my mom's hands when I was a little girl. ( Read more... )

Today was pretty ordinary really, nothing spectacular. It turned out to be a really good day. I was supposed to have a root canal, but Dr. Goodrich moved offices again. Unfortunately I didn't realize this until Byron and I had driven to Gentle Dental, paid, waited for 25 minutes and been seated. They even took my dental impression. They were very ( Read more... )

I'm up, I'm tired, my head is starting to hurt... yet I just don't want to go and climb into bed yet. Life is crazy and I'm a bit lonely these days. When your husband works for 6-8 of the hours that you are sleeping, it means he'll be sleeping 6-8 of the hours that you are taking care of your children. Alone. I love my children. I find great joy in ( Read more... )

So we are applying for new health insurance and I had to weigh and measure the children. Mind you I'm not 100% accurate, but I thought it would be fun to preserve for posterity ( Read more... )

I'm having an awesome life! It was a great day, wonderful night. Life is sooo very good, it is sooo very late and i am sooo very tired. I should be sleeping, but I am goofing around on the computer instead. Life is just so wonderful! I love every minute of it. My children are beautiful and delightful, Steve is so amazing, I am one lucky woman.

I spoke to a woman on the phone tonight, Amber Grimshaw. I saw her for the first time last night with her husband and her two sweet girls out at the Williams Ranch. We didn't get to say much more than hi. Her husband, Robbie, has epitheliod sarcoma. They need to do some fund raising for alternative health solutions. Chemotherapy won't help that ( Read more... )

No one ever says, "go small and go home!" The funny thing is that so many of us live in that space. It is a comfortable place to be. I'll fly under the radar and stay home, because I know what to expect there and it works for me ( Read more... )

at the sky admiring the fast moving white clouds against the blue sky. "The weather changes on a dime this time of year," I thought. Earlier it was grayer clouds rolling through. I turned my attention back to the small little body by my side, Manning, enjoying his sleepy contentment as he finished eating. Byron took his pajamas off, so he is ( Read more... )

Today I did an awesome job at lots of things. I laughed with my children, kept my expectations low, rolled with the punches and took my yahoos to the park. So I was a great mom. I even let Byron play with Zachary Berkabile after the park and his rec center space class. Too fun for him ( Read more... )
