As you can imagine, having a baby makes things a little chaotic and normal routines and tasks get pushed to the side. Having a baby in the middle of a pandemic makes it that much more challenging. We were blessed to be able to have my mom and dad come visit and help us during …
We had a bit of a crazy Easter as the kids went to town on their Easter Baskets and Max was really the only one with any self control, so I’m pretty sure all Bev ate today was sugar of one form or another, Mav had a bit less and Max had the least. Typical. …
The kids and me went out bug catching today. We were on a mission to find bugs for our garden, in particular, lady bugs. The kids took the PowerWheels ATV down to the creek and we walked to find bugs. We found a “yellow-orange” lady bug and put it in the bug cage and brought …
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 …

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 …
Bev has had mouth sores all week so she’s been so incredibly grumpy. Yesterday she was doing better so I thought I could finally head to the gym. We made it all the way to the gym. (this involved packing a picnic for the lake afterwards, swim gear, towels, beach toys, etc) and Max complained …
Andy has been pretty busy with orientation stuff at work, but today was his official first work day. He told me some crazy stories, but I think he enjoyed finally getting to do what he loves. For the Fourth of July we went to a work party that he was invited to. I love how …
