Sarah and I have a pretty exciting group of books that we are going to snuggle and read together this year! Our biggest undertaking is that we want to read the entire Little House on the Prairie series. We can’t wait! Here is our line up:
I love holidays – all of them, truly! However, I’ve always thought of myself as a little bit of a Halloween scrooge. Ever since I was little, Halloween was just never my thing. I don’t like dressing up and I am not really into candy – so for me, most of my life – Halloween …
I love going to the pumpkin patch! I love all of the autumn activities! This year, we were on the hunt for a new place to make autumn traditions and we were led to such a gem. A friend of mine told me about Hometown Harvest Pumpkin Patch and it was the sweetest. The owners …
Family picture season snuck up on me this year – but we took them a couple days before Halloween and I love them oh so much. A friend recommended Kim Cormier Photography and she was beyond fantastic. She immediately made all of us feel at ease and was incredible with the kiddos. BONUS – she …
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s talk was inspiring and uplifting and I loved it. I worry that it might be cast aside as “only for the youth” but I believe it is for each and every one of us. He may address the youth at times, but I know I needed this message as well. There …

Ben lost his first tooth! Ben had quite the evolution from when he discovered his tooth was loose, to when he lost it! Last week, when it started to get wiggly, he was not okay with it. He did not want any fooling around with it. But then, a couple nights later, I was helping …
FAMILY FUN! This month we went down to Morrison to visit Dinosaur Ridge! This place is so cool. We went here a long time ago (click here to see when Jacob was just a wee little lad!) and it was just as fun as we remembered. Jacob, Sarah, and I have been studying paleontology in …
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” PROVERBS 3:5-6 These three sweeties were able to participate in their Primary program earlier this month and they did so wonderful. There is something absolutely beautiful in hearing …
It has been a L O N G time since I have given a Lydia update with regards to her health. I was thinking how its only been a year and a half since her diagnosis, but it honestly, might as well have been YEARS. I truly can’t remember life before everything changed. It just …
