Spring Break Shenanigans - Part 4

Monday was a pretty busy day, but I only snapped the following two pictures!

William woke up at 6:00 in the morning...we cuddled on the couch and he drank his milk (as usual).  Then he went back to sleep for the next 1.5 hours!  I was stranded on that couch...so I used my time wisely and worked on my Personal Progress.  The Young Women Program is changing their Personal Progress program at the end of the year...so Lizzie has one year to earn her medallion.  Mother's can work on their personal progress with their daughters...so I'm committed to earn mine in a year as well!  It is significantly different completing the goals as an adult versus a young women.  But I am still learning.  I must admit that I feel older and wiser than I did when I was a young woman.  I hadn't really realized it...but it's true.  With age, comes wisdom!  I can hardly wait to be 100 years old!

Here's little Will:



We went to the Zoo today!  It was hot outside!  It has been a fairly mild spring so far as far as temperatures are concerned.  We had all forgotten what the dreaded heat felt like!  Well, we are in it for the long haul.  It's only going to get hotter and hotter.  We won't find relief from the heat until October!

Zoo Pictures!

These two are so adorable!  William follows Caitlyn around like a lost little puppy.  If he can't see her he freaks out!


The Zoo has a really fun little playground!  Lot's of animals to climb on!  William was so happy that he could climb on an alligator!





Lizzie was such a BIG help today!  She truly is the best oldest child and the best big sister that any little sibling could have every asked for.  I thank Heavenly Father every single day for giving me a daughter as wonderful as Lizzie!




I told Jon that he really needs to fix Mason's hair.  This picture makes him look like a prisoner in a concentration camp.









We had a great day!  We were exhausted when we got home.  Leftovers for dinner, Mutual for Lizzie, and a few Ninjago episodes for the rest of the crew.

2021 Summary

 2021...What a year! Some Highlights: I read the Book of Mormon 4 times this year (one time I finished in 29 days!) We studied the Doctrine and Covenants for Come follow Me! Lizzie Started Highschool (and seminary)! William started Kindergarten! I got depressed being home without the kids...so I got my first job in 14 years! I was called to be the ward Young Women President in January. Jon is still serving in the Bishopric, this year as the 2nd Counselor. Bryce was ordained to the office of a Deacon and serves as the Deacon Quorum President. Jon broke his foot in March and had to have surgery. Our fruit trees produced no fruit this year, which was sad. Lizzie was extremely sick for about 2 months.  She had ovarian cysts, major constipation, and valley fever! We had the opportunity to listen to two General Conferences, which are my favorite holiday's. We went to Last Vegas after Christmas 2020, we went to Utah for Kynzlee's baptism, we went to Utah for the 4th of July holiday, ...

 I apologize for not writing very often.  I have just had a few really bad days this week.  Emotionally unstable days where I could barely make myself do the bare minimum.  Updating the blog wasn't number one on my priority list.  I'm feeling much better now, but I just can't properly document the past week.  Sorry! The days where I experience mental health challenges really get to me.  I feel like I'm in a dark place and trapped in my own mind, drowning in negativity, self-doubt, and self-loathing.  It's extremely powerful.  Thankfully, it is not like that every day of my life, as it is with those who suffer from severe depression.  I can't imagine not being able to snap out of it.  My "bad days" correlate very closely to my time of the month.  For about a week out of every month I feel very poorly, emotionally.  It's a hormonal imbalance that I feel is worse than most women.  At least I am unaware of any women who s...

 I saw this quote today and wanted to post it here: "The same God that placed that star in a precise orbit millennia before it appeared over Bethlehem in celebration of the birth of the Babe has given at least equal attention to placement of each of us in precise human orbits so that we may, if we will, illuminate the landscape of our individual lives, so that our light may not only lead others but warm them as well." Elder Neal A. Maxwell I have read this quote before and I have always liked it.  It makes me think of all of the wonderful people whom I've been able to meet in my life and who have had profound influences on me.  I don't believe in coincidences.  I believe that God knew exactly who I would need in my life.  He placed specific people in my life at the precise time that I needed them.  Sometimes they stayed a while, other times they went their own ways.  Yet they left their footprints in my heart and they will never be forgotten.  It'...
