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 …
Wow! This talk from Elder Dale G. Renlund, given in a session of conference that “concentrated on the concerns of latter-day Saint women”, was FULL of eternal truths. He focused his remarks around the young women theme and dived into the various doctrine within that. On a personal note, it was nice to read and …
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 💛

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 …
