seriously… is it being pregnant?… being a tired mother of 4 little ones?… getting old?… or just being heather?… but… my brain has stopped working. really. Situation 1: I got a reminder this morning about activity days for Hannah at 4:30. What was I doing at 4:30?… oh – I was with 4 littles at […]
This kid is bouncing around the house with excitement for school to be over. Hannah… not so much… but maybe after her hard day of getting punched in the stomach and hit in the face, she’ll look forward to summer break more. Me – I’m excited. Yes, it’s hard in it’s own way… but I’m […]
We rejoiced that the weather finally made it to the 70s this weekend. Hurrah! We even had to apply sunscreen (perhaps that’s because we are all pasty white from winter)… but nevertheless… we saw the sun… and the sun saw us… outside! Instead of heading to Zion National Park, we decided to stay home… cheaper, […]
Over the past two years, Jimmy has been supporting a Mormon Mission Prep site. He felt compelled to write a book about the practical and spiritual prep for future missionaries. Specifically geared towards teenagers, young adults, and even parents, and leaders, it’s a quickie read with a lot of helpful and inspiring information. Good work […]
For Easter we got the kids some new Sunday movies to watch. I hadn’t heard of them until I saw a bit of one at my friend Laurie’s house. These Liken The Scriptures dvds are like scripture musicals. They are a bit corny but are fun for kids. They make me laugh (like in the […]
A beautiful delight this week has been the sight of the colorful tulips in the front yard. I think I’ve taken photos of them every day since they started blooming because I just love them. What bright fun colors to cheer our yard. I love them in full sun when they are wide open… and […]
It was quite a week for Max and Tru… lots of ups and downs. Mostly we’re all trying to work with Tru so he won’t hit everyone he walks by. He’s also really good at pinching and biting. I’ve never had a child who does such things with regularity. Sigh… He will learn… hopefully. Luckily […]
Now I know I’ve never been extremely graceful. Perhaps I’m a little clumsy… especially when pregnant. But today I was like a walking disaster. My zany back is freaking out with this pregnancy. I couldn’t sit or stand this morning for 5 minutes without pain that took my breath away. It’s been killin’ me for […]
Every morning instead of leaving the kids with, “Have a good day!”… I try to say, “Make it a Great day!”. I firmly believe that our attitude and choices determine if our day is good or not. Believing is one thing… but living it is another. Today I need to heed my own counsel and […]
1. If Max gets the camera … he changes the ISO to 1600 so for a few days this means every photo has lots of noisy grain. ISO – huh? Guess it needs to be on AUTO for this fam. 2. If Hannah gets the camera, she takes a photo of her hand making a […]
