Last week I was sustained as the new music coordinator in our ward. I have to admit I was a little taken back (I thought they were giving a new calling to Mark!). And I hadn’t ever heard of this calling – obviously it has existed probably forever – but it was new to me! …
Steady in the Storms
“We must become as a child – a little child.” I know we shouldn’t have favorites, and I mean it when I say I love and respect each member of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, but President Henry B. Eyring holds such a tender place in my heart. He always leaves me …
Sarah in the Kitchen
Sarah made a goal back in January that she wanted to learn how to cook. It has been lots of fun the last couple months spending time with Sarah in the kitchen! She is so willing to learn and has become such a big help. This girl inspires me every day and I can’t wait …
Mother’s Day
I am grateful and humbled every day to get to be the mother of these four special children. They fill my life. Momma loves you forever, little ones.
Space Odyssey

{Jacob’s Picks} Favorite 4th Grade Books
As Jacob is wrapping up his fourth grade year he has grown a lot in his reading. He continues to just devourer books. He often has multiple books going at the same time, which secretly drives me crazy, but it works for him! He has jumped several reading levels this year, but I asked him …
Easter
Happy Easter! Moving the same week as Easter was a little tricky and we didn’t get to spend as much time in the season as we would have wanted, but it was still lovely. My Mom got the kiddos Easter baskets to share and then we did our family Easter baskets as well. So the …
Hello Colorado!
Once we got unloaded the fun CONTINUED! We have spent the last week trying to get settled into our new home. Things took a lot longer than I thought it would {isn’t that always the way?} but we are getting there! All of the boxes have now been unpacked or placed out of my sight …
