Memorial Day was quiet for our little family. Mark worked all weekend and so it was just me and the kiddos. We mostly just took it easy at home, and had a jammy/movie day on Saturday. The kids thoughts I was a rockstar and I was able to get some work done – WIN WIN! …
Yard: Part 1
When people say putting in a yard is a lot of work – they aren’t kidding! When Mark and I were looking for a home here in Wyoming, we weren’t necessarily looking for a “new” home but that is what we found. There are a lot of things we love about our home and we …
Mother’s Day
“The Lord loves effort, and effort brings rewards.” – Joy D. Jones This quote has been in the front of my mind the last several weeks. It is something I have found myself remembering when I wake up tired in the morning, when I kneel to pray at night (aware of all the things I …
Lydia’s 11th Month

Friday I was doing my grocery shopping and realized that I had nothing to put in them, grabbed each kiddos a chocolate bunny, a coloring book, …
Grandma Moldenhauer
Last Friday, my sweet Grandma returned back to our Heavenly Father. Her health had been failing in recent weeks. It felt more difficult given our current world situation since we were unable to visit her in the ways we wanted to. I have been reflecting on my memories with my Grandmother and I have to …
Easter
“[Jesus Christ] gave His life to atone for the sins of all mankind. His was a great vicarious gift in behalf of all who would ever live upon the earth. We solemnly testify that His life, which is central to all human history, neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary. He was the Firstborn …
