This past week was Mom’s recovery from spring break. I couldn’t get pictures to work for the blog last week, so I’m moving a piece of last week’s blog to this one to include the pictures. I had a wonderful time with our dear friends, the Ingles. They came so Stephen could work the Masters, …
This post is focusing on my Savior Jesus Christ, some thoughts I have had this week regarding his sacrifice, and what I learned from General Conference. At the end I’ll have a quick slide show of our fun spring break leading up to the culmination of celebrating our Savior’s real birth, death, and resurrection. It …
This week was a pretty busy week! In addition to the normal craziness, we had two baseball games while Andy was working (though he made the last half after finishing his shift). I had some routine doctor appointments and there were a number of birthday parties our kids were supposed to attend, the primary sponsored …
Andy and I met in the fall of 2010. I had recently broken up with my previous boyfriend and so despite wanting to take my time to feel things out, I found myself falling in love with this man. He teases me now that I married him for his money, but we all know he …
Baseball practice is in full swing, which was an adventure, since Andy had work nearly every night this week and therefore missed all the practices. It’s not too bad getting all four kids to practice now that they’re a little older, but bedtime is still a struggle when they’ve missed the opportune window. Kids seem …
This week for family night we talked about the miracles of Jesus and watched some short clips from the church of miracles that Christ performed while on the earth. When we were finished talking, we had the kids draw their favorite miracle. Harvey scribbled and when he finished I asked him what his drawing was …
This week, we’ve had to help Max get some additional help in school. He is doing ok academically but had a straight up panic attack before a day full of assessments. His teacher seems to test them more often than not and it has been a constant battle of helping him deal with the stress …
This past week went by quick, so quick, in fact, that I ran out of time on Sunday (and Monday) to write my blog. I was in charge of “Great to be baptized” for our primary. Those who are eligible to be baptized this year were invited. It was cute to see the excitement and …
Some of my annual goals this year are to complete the Book of Mormon (for the umpteenth time), keep up with Come Follow Me, and read the General Conference addresses before the next General Conference. I’ve really enjoyed reading the Book of Mormon this time. Partly because it has been a couple of years. I …
We had a lot of fun celebrating Andy this past week. Last Friday I took him to Dave and Busters and we felt like little kids again (tired greying little kids, but still, it was fun). Tuesday we got to do some online gaming with family, which is Andy’s favorite thing to do, so for …
