Lydia lost her first tooth! And she officially wins the award for being the youngest to lose a tooth! We’ve noticed a couple of wiggly teeth lately, but they weren’t wiggly enough to pull (or so we thought!). But then Mark looked over at Lydia and saw some blood coming out of her mouth and …
One of our spring bucket list items was to visit some baby animals and we DID IT! Mark was all about the pigs – who may or may not tried to eat Lydia’s wheelchair through the fence. The kids were all obsessed with “Bunny” the rabbit. Ben thought the goats were hilarious as they tried …
We had such a fun visit from the Whittakers this month! The kids played game after game after game with each other. Cousin time is the best time! It was so nice just visiting and catching up on all the things with one another. It went by way too quickly! We are so grateful they …
Two weeks ago, Lydia had an appointment at the Rett Clinic. We were so grateful we were able to get in when we did. It has been eighteen months since her last one and a lot has changed for her since then. This is a marathon of an appointment but it went so well! Making …

A couple weeks ago we were talking about temples in family study and it sparked an idea! We wanted to go to the Manti Temple Open House. And we did it! It seemed a little crazy when we were first planning it but it actually ended up being a big blessing. It gave us something …
⭐ Sarah Appreciation Post! ⭐ Sarah is an angel. She really is. She fills a role in our family that is quiet, but completely spirit filling. Sarah is a lifter. She always has been. She is sandwiched between two brothers who have always taken a lot of attention. Two brothers that need a lot. And …
Once upon a time there was the sweetest little puppy named Poppy Mae. The kids have been begging for a dog for years. I did the same as a kid. But it never felt right. The last several years have been full and adding a puppy just never felt like the right decision. But over …
