An oldie but a goodie picture We loved being able to celebrate Mark on Father’s Day. He is such a good man and a good father. We are so lucky to have him. He sacrifices and gives so much to give us this beautiful life. He truly never complains. He supports each of us in …
Benjamin appreciation post! This little man. There is a whole lot of personality in this little body! Ben continues to be the most physical human being I have ever been around. He needs to be physically active – this boy loves to use his body – and his love language is definitely physical touch. If …
Our sweet girl had her ballet recital last week and she had so much fun. She loves to dance and we love watching and supporting her. This year, her dance studio was celebrating 30 years and so the theme was birthdays and parties. Sarah’s class danced to “A Very Merry Unbirthday” from Alice in Wonderland …
For Christmas last year, I did something different and got the three older kids tickets to see Aladdin! Mark has been teasing me ever since that it was more a gift for me than for them – but I really love things like this and hoped that it would be something the kids could love …

Jacob and Sarah have absolutely SOARED in piano the last several months. Someone is playing the piano most of the time during the day. It has become something they do in their free time – not just during “practice” and it makes my heart so happy. Jacob in particular has just shocked and amazed me. …
The message given by Elder Craig C. Christensen was an unexpected gem from General Conference. It was unexpected for me because it was not on my “radar” at all. There are certain messages given in conference that immediately touch my heart and I am so excited to revisit them in my study afterwards. But I …
Oh sweet Lydia. You are brave, a little mischievous, patient, a lover of music, calm, and filled with pure goodness from head to toe. We were so happy to celebrate YOU! Hundred Acre Wood Party Two of my dearest friends sent me the complete Winnie-the-Pooh Book Collection after I had Jacob and it has been …
Sarah said this year that Memorial Day is one of her favorite holidays. I am seeing more and more that Sarah has a reflective personality and she was really enjoying this day of remembrance. We had such a good day. We had a slow start (which was so lovely) and had a nice breakfast and …
