In 1937, on this very date of April 29, Gordon and Marjorie Hinckley were married in the Salt Lake Temple.. which would make today their 74th anniversary. Oh, how wonderful I think this couple is. I love how you could tell they loved each other. I love that they never argued. I love how joyful […]
It seems my tulips might be the last in the neighborhood to bloom. I’m not sure why. I’m hoping mine survived the hard freeze we had the other night. But alas… today one lone tulip barely opened up to see the sunshine. There was JOY exclaimed by all in the house. I can’t wait for […]
~ It’s the most exciting day of the week for Tru – Garbage & Recycle day. He wants the window open. It’s freezing cold … like 30 degrees cold. There is a touch of snow on the ground. The birds are singing. The tulips are so close to blooming. ~ Abe couldn’t contain his excitement […]
I just saw this quote scratched on an envelope in my purse… from when we visited the Carl Bloch exhibit at BYU. I like the idea he shared – so simple. I’ve been trying super-dee-duper hard to keep my calm in the chaos of the evening hours. Blow up I do… sometimes. Keep calm… and […]

This week Abe was supposed to interview one of his parents about their job. He had specific questions to ask and then he was to write a little paragraph about it later at school. I told him it might be best to ask Jimmy (encouraging father/son bonding here!)… plus, the questions applied more to someone […]
We kinda have a thing with ducks in my family – the Nelson family, that is. My Grandma Ruth Nelson was called Quaker Duck and she had lots of little duckies around her house. My mother has darling wooden ducks in her home. My kids LOVE her awesome Donald Duck talking. Well – I’m thinking […]
Truman was so busy playing basketball that he almost missed the garbage truck this morning. No worries – he made it just in time to see it across the street. Phew! He is a very busy baby with lots to do.
We had our ultrasound today at 21 weeks. I was so anxious all day waiting until the 2:00 appointment time. I couldn’t do anything productive. Most of all we were so glad to find everything seems as healthy as possible with our baby. Second of all, we were thrilled with this news: The odds were […]
Just wanted to note that I finally finished these two New Testament Quiet Books. Yay – Hurray! I LOVED compiling the photos and words because it is such perfect and uplifting doctrine full of LIGHT. I hope my kids know that I compiled these books because I have a testimony of Jesus… that He loves […]
