So hey… thought I’d write myself a pregnancy update … also for posterity’s sake. Here I am at 18 weeks which almost puts me half way since I’ll have this babe at 39 weeks. Wahoo… I always think the websites comparing the size of your baby to fruit and veggies is funny. So – looks […]
This week is all about bright colors for me. I’ve been doing some dream shopping for fun and bright summer attire for tots and such. I came across some fun finds that I liked. They all revolved around *sunshine* yellow! That’s gonna be the color of summer for me. It’s all about Sunshine people! I […]
This morning I woke and felt like crying because I was so tired… and was dealing with cranky tots. I don’t know that I slept much from 4:30 on. Not good for this mama. I had a busy day with doctor and dentist appointments for me and the tots. My dear mother saved the day […]
The day we’ve all been waiting for… the first day of Spring. Yesterday my allergies kicked in and I enjoyed a nice scratchy throat. Hannah and Tru have colds. Today… a snowstorm is blowing in. Lovely! We’ve had gray skies for quite a while now. Gray. Gray. Gray. I’m ready for color. As anyone would […]
Looks like I fell off the planet this week. Not sure why. I don’t get much private computer time these days. I usually have a tot on my lap climbing all over me asking to watch Super Why or something. During quiet time, this mama takes a nap. When we finally get the tots in […]
I wanted to share this video we watched for FHE tonight. We talked with the kids about LDS Humanitarian Services and how they use donations to help others of all faiths around the world. They were wide-eyed about many of the situations people, especially children, live in. I think it helped them realize how much […]
For weeks (since our mini earthquakes started), … and particularly since the devastating earthquake in Japan, I’ve thought about the reality of being prepared. As in… what do we really need to be prepared for what is to come? If it were just Jimmy and I… things would be different… but the thought of feeling […]
Do you see this … the current weather conditions? Yes, we’ll take it. I looked at the outside thermostat and got the boys ready pronto (pronto=30 minutes later). We headed outside to enjoy some sunshine. Tru was beyond delighted. Max was excited until he decided “I cold”… and “There’s snakes” (which really turned out to […]
My blog friend Jenifer shared this advice from Jane Covey, mother of 10… “With a large family, you will NEVER be able to give your children what they could have had from you if they were only children. But, you’ve given them siblings and their siblings will give them more than you could ever give.” […]
Mr. Abraham is the star of the week in his class at school. He helped put together this poster by picking the pictures, being very specific about their arrangement, and telling me all his “favorites”. I would add that Abe is a tender-hearted kiddo who loves to have fun, fun, fun! I think he […]
