sunk truck

October 20, 2016

My dad always worried his boat might sink, not his truck. It was a beautiful day on lake havasu! Thanks to mom and dad, we were here for a super fun vacation. Dad and James were at the boat launch while the rest of us waited near the London bridge. Upon hearing the news we couldn’t believe it. Dad put the […]

bah! humbug!!

October 14, 2016

It’s October, and yes I was listening, no, dancing around the kitchen to Christmas music. Jeremy walked in to the room and said with disgust “uggg! Christmas music?”… “I hate Christmas” all Grinch like. Well, instead of getting mad for demeaning my favorite holiday and my happy moment, I asked sincerely why. And there it was…I don’t hate […]

Hope gave a fantastic lesson. she told the familiar account of peter walking on water to Jesus. she asked what are the waves in our lives that take our focus off the savior. Wilson made delicious melt in your mouth chocolate chip cookies. he asked if theres a way to keep that wonderful smell in our house […]

ode to Jeremy

October 10, 2016

I have been more impressed with Jeremy each day. He hasn’t slept most nights trying to get assignments done. He works harder than he ever has in his life, I don’t know many people who could do this at our age. He isn’t content with passing, he wants straight A’s. But what has impressed me […]

Friday inspiration

October 7, 2016

I listened to this speech while jogging this morning, it was in answer to my prayer! I love it and plan to teach from it tonight in scripture study to my children. These are just highlights from it. The personal experiences and wisdom elder Burton share are incredible and inspiring. https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/f-burton-howard_gift-knowing/ To see our […]

a zip line and the plan of happiness

October 3, 2016

For his 40th birthday Jeremy and I went on a zip line tour last week. Before we began the adventure we were instructed on the safety equipment and how to use it. Next we rode a ski lift high into the mountains. Again we were instructed before going on a short practice run. We jumped into a jeep and rode over rocky terrain to the […]

Dallin

September 13, 2016

I think everyone should have a Dallin in their life. Homeschooling him these past two weeks has had me on my knees and in tears a lot! I have questioned this personal revelation more times than I would like to admit. It’s funny how I know something is right, then I go to do it and it’s […]

I love the temple!!

September 9, 2016

I was feeling the tug of the world and the adversary trying to pull me down this week. I knew I needed to get to the temple. I rushed to make it to the 1 o’clock session and just as it began, I felt peace envelop me. I prayed to know how I could be a […]

June 27, 2016

I watched as kate ventured off he path to try walking across a log like her brothers. without being asked Wilson went over to her and reached out his hand to help her so she could cross safely. She was reluctant to take hold of her brothers hand at first. she probably felt […]
