In this week’s Come Follow Me from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they had us read Doctrine and Covenants 98-101. In section 98 it explains that the way to peace is through forgiveness. I have to admit that it is hard to forgive the terrorists for the attack on 9/11. It’s hard …
Andy had an entire week of swing shift so I had the pleasure of taking all the kids to all of the practices, gear pickup, etc. It wasn’t as bad as the last two years. Last season I had gall bladder issues and felt sick the majority of the time or was recovering from gall …
We’ve actually been back to school for a while. The boys started back on August 5th and Bev and Harvey had their first day August 17th. I get a lot of “oh wow! Harvey’s in preschool already?” questions so let me just address that here. Yes, I do feel a little guilt about putting him …
I was so excited for Max to get baptized this past weekend. He wanted me to attend his baptismal interview and I kind of wondered how it would go. To be honest it went as I expected. Despite having Come Follow Me lessons every night before bed for the past three years plus family scripture …

Andy and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. He got me a beautiful right hand ring that makes me smile every time I see it. I got him (I should say he got himself) a switch blade knife. I think he gets the same feeling every time he sees it. Life has been busy but pretty …
This last week was pretty good! Andy and I got to go on a date mid week which really filled up my quality time canteen with him before he launched into five nights of 14 hr night shift. Two more nights (tonight and tomorrow!) and then two day shifts and we’re home free of this …
Aside from celebrating my love for my husband and children, I want to do some spotlights! We had a very successful week! Maverick came home from preschool on Tuesday with his fourth “King Bee” of the year. It is awarded when a student does all they’re supposed to do with perfect behavior in addition to …
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” So imagine if the beholder is God? Look at the earth around us! It is filled with diverse plants, animals, geographical features, and ALL of it is beautiful to him. Imagine if we were all the exact same. Looked the same, acted the same, had the same …
