So yesterday was one of those days I hope to never experience again. It began early in the morning. Too early. I didn’t get much sleep and to hear my alarm ring at 6:00 am, I thought I was gonna cry. After getting all the kids ready for school and then dropping them off at …

Concerned? Very. Convinced? Not yet.
Little Ellie has been suffering from a cough and congestion for over three weeks now. It doesn’t seem to be worsening but it has kept her up the last couple of nights so Seth and I decided it was time to take her to the pediatrician just to be sure she was okay. With six …
A special surprise
I put Drew down for a nap today. After and hour or so I heard him yelling “Maw-Nee-Naa!”. I went in to get him and to my surprise I found this: and this: No, we don’t normally put our kids down for a nap in the nude. Drew figured out how to completely undress himself …
Ouch!
We were up at Grandma and Grandpa Johnson’s house visiting this evening. A little while into our visit we hear the girls yelling that Drew was bleeding and then we hear Drew screaming. Apparently he was outside riding a little trike and it tipped over on Grandpa’s ramp and the edge cut an inch long …
Ellie’s blessing
Ellie’s baby blessing was on Sunday. Grandma Jan made her this beautiful dress. She looked so sweet and so pure. Seth gave her a very loving and special blessing. I am so thankful for a husband that lives worthy to have the priesthood power. As I watched my last baby being blessed, I realized how …
Maw-Nee-Naa
For many years I have been known as “mommy”, “mom”, “mama” (and maybe even a few other choice words!), but I don’t believe I have had any of my kids actually call me by my real name. Drew is the first. My name is pretty hard to say but he doesn’t have too much trouble …

He scored over half the the points in their semi-final game coming in with 12 points and did well in the championship game as well. …
Ellie, Drew & Claire photo shoot
So our life has been a bit hectic lately to say the least. This is my excuse for not getting sweet Ellie’s photos taken professionally. Kara Simmons Photography had taken photos for another relative and I thought she did a good job so I gave her a call. Kara came to my house with all …
Boys’ night out equals girls’ night in!
Seth got a couple tickets to a BYU basketball game and planned on taking Jacob. Normally Drew stays home with the girls, but Jacob thought Drew was finally old enough to go to a game, and Drew loved the idea. So, it became a boys’ night out. They all got outfitted in their BYU attire …
The good, the bad, and the ugly
So we have been in our home going on three weeks now. We have truly loved having a home of our own again but with it has brought some challenges as well. We promised some photos to our friends and family who can’t come by and visit (If you can come visit and haven’t come …
