Jacob chose to get baptized this past Saturday and we are so proud of him. What an awesome day! I went in to wake him up that morning and he jumped up and said, “Am I getting baptized today”? I said, “Yes,” and he said, “Oh mom, I am so excited!” It was a special …

Lots of Visitors
We had family visiting throughout the month of June. My mom came to visit from May 28 to June 10 and then my sister and her two boys stayed with us from June 10 to June 30. It was a crazy month full of lots of fun. It was interesting having 10 people (7 of …
Meggie Lou turns six!
Megan turned 6 today. As with Jake, it is so hard to see her growing up so fast. She already acts like she is sixteen! We celebrated her birthday with cousins on Saturday but she wouldn’t have been happy if we didn’t do some celebrating on her real birthday as well. She woke up to …

They just know…
I am the type of person that is generally able to handle all the things that are thrown my way. It takes a lot to trip me up from my daily routine and when I am feeling that I can barely keep my head above water I usually put on a good show so it …
Girl’s Night!
Seth had a scout campout tonight so the girls and I decided to have a pajama party with a couple of their close friends. We played outside games for a while and then had pizza. After dinner we gave each other crazy hair, painted nails, drew pictures on our cheeks (flowers, hearts and worms — …
Spring break in Colorado
Seth had an Oracle Convention in Denver during spring break so we took that opportunity to visit our great friends that live just outside of Denver in Arvada. We spent the whole week with them and their kids. There were 11 kids and 4 adults in one house and believe it or not, it wasn’t …
