If you missed any session, or have never seen a General Conference from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, you can watch it here. My brother joked that he was underwhelmed by the Saturday morning session, my response was that it was a build up to what is to come. I felt like …
The beginning of April seems to bring some important events. It is when we believe our Savior was born (April 6th), as well as the date of his resurrection, it is also when the church was officially established, and for me personally it also has some significance. My brother Thomas died April 3rd (same date …
Last night, the kids wanted to have a campout. Given that we are still in quarantine, we set up the tent in the backyard. We also started a fire in the fire pit and cooked hotdogs for dinner; well, the kids had hot dogs. Me and Elise had leftover jambalaya that she made. It was …
Just three weeks ago, I was planning my week with some apprehension of this virus going around, but within that first week our world completely changed. Initially, Hurricane Harvey came to mind. We were frantic to make sure we had enough supplies to hunker down and wait this thing out, eager to do our part, …
Good morning! Just when I thought my kids were all healthy, my Maverick, who has a killer immune system, came down with whatever Bev had the week before. He had a fever for three days, which he milked. He pouted his lip and gave his big blue eyes the puppy dog look with a, “I …

I have another blog post I’m working on, but after finishing it on Friday, I realized I hadn’t shared Andy’s graduation, our journey packing, driving, unloading, or any of that fun stuff, so I’m going to back track a bit before I share it (it will have lots of photos, so be prepared). But I …
