Every night, with an occasional circumstantial skip, we do “Come Follow Me” as a family. It’s a scripture study guide provided by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Every Monday morning, as a part of my personal study, I sit down and adjust the plan for our family, mostly deciding which night we …
Adjusting to having the kids home is no easy feat. I have to figure out how to stay sane in the chaos, because really I can’t expect the house to stay picked up while all four kids are home and trying to stay entertained. I am focusing on teaching them to pick up after themselves …
We started the week of attending Beverly’s preschool graduation. Her brothers were really excited to come to help support their sister (or maybe just miss half a day of school). It was a darling performance with singing and it the longest part was waiting for it to start. Harvey was a bit of a pill …

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 …
