Happy 3rd Birthday to this sweet little girl! Lydia has grown SO MUCH this last year! I’ve been looking back at her second birthday and it just takes me back. Lydia is the bravest person I know. She is strong. She is resilient. She is kind. She is silly. She is absolute goodness to her …
We had such a delightful Memorial Day. The weather was *perfect* in our book – 60s and sunny – and it was FILLED. We spent a slow morning at home and then were invited over to a friend’s home for lunch. We are so grateful to them for inviting us. It was so much fun …

A new science unit for us was BIRDS from The Good and the Beautiful. I am not a bird person. I’ve never really be interested in birds or wanted to learn more about them. This unit made me a bird LOVER! They are fascinating. My kids have also become passionate bird lovers and want to …
As I have dived deeper into Elder David A. Bednar’s talk, But We Needed Them Not, it has really made me ponder my own discipleship and where I am on “the path.” It’s been an experience I am grateful for. Early on in his talk, Elder Bednar speaks about Lehi’s vision of the tree of …
As Jacob is wrapping up his fourth grade year he has grown a lot in his reading. He continues to just devourer books. He often has multiple books going at the same time, which secretly drives me crazy, but it works for him! He has jumped several reading levels this year, but I asked him …
