Last month we made our way west to spend some time with family. We loved spending a week in one of our favorite places with some of our favorite people. We played games, spent time with our Moldenhauer family, went on walks with the pups, had long talks, ate LOTS of food, read Harry Potter, …
I love the fourth of July! It is one of my favorite holidays – always has been! But this year was a tuff one for me. We have lived away from family ever since Mark and I got married and so we got used to doing holidays and other events on our own, early on …
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.

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 💛

Just three days after we moved to Colorado, Jacob and Sarah were playing charades. While they were playing, Sarah fell and her two front teeth chipped. It was pretty bad. It was a perfect half circle chipped off of her teeth. The timing could not have been worse. Since we had only moved three days …
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 …
