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 …

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 …
