I honestly can’t believe it’s already the end of the school year. Just two and a half more days left! We got to celebrate Max at honor’s day at his school. I am so very proud of Max. He started kindergarten while still struggling with his speech, which majorly affected his reading. Despite it all, …
My Mother’s Day began early this year. Andy sent me to the Smokies with my dear friend Holly. My friend, Anica, started her own retreat company called, “Soul Adventure Wellness.” This was her first one and it was a success! She hired Lindsay Durrant (another bestie) to do the food and she did not go …
I wasn’t able to blog last week, because I was out of town, so I’m going to share the joys from our normal days from the past two weeks in this short blog before I get into Mother’s Day festivities. I don’t always take pictures of the things that bring me joy. Like laughing with …
We were so excited to celebrate Harvey, but not as excited as Harvey was. My friend Krista said she’s never heard him talk as much as he has this week to talk about his birthday. Common phrases are, “It’s my dir-day!” and “I’m bigger now!” and my favorite one was when we asked him what …
Spring break was a BLAST! But also, super exhausting. I was still recovering from some chest cold that ended up taking root and needed antibiotics to irradiate, but I didn’t start on the meds till the end of spring break and pushed through (sounds like me doesn’t it?). Before I go into the what we …
Now that the pollen has stopped and the flowers are all blooming, masters is in full swing. Our kids start their spring break tomorrow. Because we went to Hawaii (and Andy can’t take much time off) we are staying here for Spring break. We are going to make the most of it though! I’ll tell …
Our church had a special Sunday for Easter. We joined our meeting with the neighboring ward. We were able to listen to several musical numbers and a short talk from a member in our Stake Presidency. I love how quickly the music brings the spirit into the meeting. There weren’t any lengthy sermons, but solemn …
We started the week off celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at the Durrant’s house. Beverly convinced me to paint her face for the occasion, so of course I got to pain all of the kiddo’s faces at the party. Harvey opted for a Leo mask (that was fun to get off afterwards…). Lindsay went all out. …
We celebrated this anniversary (13) by cleaning the backyard, getting it ready for planting AND pressure washing the back porch for our new patio furniture. They’re already covered in pollen so I’ll have to blow it off with the leave blower with some serious mask/eye protection. BUT we love it already. They’re comfortable and look …
We started our week out with a bang… literally. Our kids didn’t have school Monday so we thought we’d take advantage and sleep in. Nothing gets a mom out of bed faster than a large bang followed by a bloodcurdling scream. A mother knows by the tone of the scream if it is “Stop getting …
