I love the fourth of July! It is one of my favorite holidays – always has been! But this year was a tuff one for me. We have lived away from family ever since Mark and I got married and so we got used to doing holidays and other events on our own, early on …
Benjamin Appreciation Post! This boy makes our house such a fun place. Five has been such a fun, sweet age for our Benjamin. Ben continues to be the most physical little human. He loves to be running, wrestling, climbing, building, you name it! Ben’s love language is definitely physical touch. He is the snuggliest little …
DOUBLE DIGITS?!!! How?! When did this happen! Ten feels like such a big number! I truly do not know where the time has gone. But watching this boy grow continues to be one of the greatest joys of my life. Kids get so excited for their birthdays and it’s so much fun to watch and …
Mark is an incredible father. It is one of my favorite roles to see him in. We are so grateful every day to have him in our lives. We love you 💛
These sweeties had a piano recital earlier this month and did so well! I am so proud of them and the time they spend practicing and learning the piano. I hope it brings them joy for themselves and also that they see the joy it can bring to others. Jacob played “Mr. McGill’s Boop Sha-Bop!” …

It was a perfect half circle chipped off of her teeth. The timing could not have been worse. Since we had only moved three days …
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 …
Last week I was sustained as the new music coordinator in our ward. I have to admit I was a little taken back (I thought they were giving a new calling to Mark!). And I hadn’t ever heard of this calling – obviously it has existed probably forever – but it was new to me! …
Sarah made a goal back in January that she wanted to learn how to cook. It has been lots of fun the last couple months spending time with Sarah in the kitchen! She is so willing to learn and has become such a big help. This girl inspires me every day and I can’t wait …
