I’m thinking about this quote in regards to recent cultural & social issues … those who claim they have a RIGHT to certain things, just because… – Gay Marriage – Right to marry whomever they want – Women who feel entitled to hold the priesthood – Terminally Ill Right to Die in their own timeframe […]
Remember when I dropped off Kneaders bread & the above message … on Halloween afternoon to the gals I visit teach. Lame! But as lame as I felt to be a ‘last-day-of-the-month-sorta-visiting-teacher’, I wanted them to know I was thinking of them. Why is visiting teaching so hard for me? Just DO IT already! Though […]
My boys have an obsession with bodily noises. Like. . . they laugh their heads off about it. Goodness! In an attempt to teach them some manners, they are asked to do 10 push-ups, sit-ups, or burpees if they rudely belch or rooty-toot-toot.

I was feeding Scotty and Truman came to snuggle on my lap. Tru fell asleep in about 1 minute. What to do?! Kinda hard to move both boys with only 2 arms. Then Liza got out of her nap to go potty and joined the party. 3 kids in school. & 3 young kids at […]

I only taught false doctrine once (hopefully only once!) when I fudged and said, “The church’s standards are different than the Lord’s Standard.” STRIKE THAT! Let’s try again, “The WORLD’S standards are different […]
This week was a wee bit rough. After all, Scotty is 6 weeks old, and therefore, I felt like I should get back to “normal”. So I tried to live a more “normal-ish” life attempting to get more accomplished and out the door quickly with kids in tow. Not to be! I must remember that […]
Truman has been counting down the months/days until his birthday! He was quite excited to turn 5. Miss Hannah made him a shiny birthday crown. Abe made Truman a giant pancake for breakfast. Truman helped stir the chocolate chip pudding cake. Tru really enjoyed his presents… magformers (awesomeness that all the kids love!), Look & […]
Have you seen this David Archuleta Meet the Mormons GLORIOUS video? Such an uplifting piece. D&C 78: 17-19 17 Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye are little children, and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Father hath in his own hands and prepared for you; 18 And ye cannot bear […]
