Diapers for the Middle Children


It rained all day today.  I love the rain!  It's supposed to rain for the next few days.  I'm really happy about that.  We need it!

When Bryce and Mason got in the car after school...both Mason and Caitlyn said that they had to go to the bathroom really, really, really badly.  We still had to pick up Lizzie at her school...and it was pouring outside and I didn't want to drag them all out in the mud to go back into the school to use the restroom.

So I put a diaper on the 4-year-old and a diaper on the soon-to-be-7-year-old (it's a good thing he has such a small bum!).

Caitlyn peed and Mason Pooped.

So. Disgusting.


Then the boys had piano lessons.  School got out an hour earlier than normal today so we had an hour to kill before lessons.  It didn't make sense to go back home, so we parked in a parking lot and the kids did their homework in the car while we waited.

This is how they felt about this.

Lizzie was not too happy (although she finished an entire book).


Mason was happy.


William was fine because I kept giving him food to snack on.


Caitlyn happily played around in the back...and I couldn't get Bryce to finish his homework.  He claimed that he couldn't concentrate.  Hmm...wonder why that was?


Pictures from earlier today...

Will and his beloved Batman!



Best friends!



Reading books with Mommy!


We had a nice Come Follow Me lesson this evening after Judo.  We are learning about the Savior's birth.  We watched some bible videos and discussed them.  We marked some scriptures in the New Testament.

We learned that we can be like the Wisemen in our lives by continuously striving to seek the Savior.  Like the Wisemen, we are on a long journey.  We will see the Savior one day and offer him our gifts.  The gifts that we offer him will be how we chose to live our lives.  Were we obedient to the commandments?  How did we treat those around us?  Did we serve others when we could?

We also learned that we can be like the Shepherds.  As soon as they were told about the Saviors birth, the left with haste to find him.  We can also leave the things of the world behind with haste and do the things that our Savior wants us to do in order for us to make it back to Him someday.

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, ...

Feeling Awful

 I feel awful about something that I did today.  Well, something that I DIDN'T do.  I feel like the worst person in the world.  I feel like horrible.  I was prompted to do something and I ignored the prompting.  It's eating me up. It's short, so I'll explain it here. I went to Relief Society today.  The first time in about three years.  I sat with Jon's Mom.  I noticed a girl sitting in front of me who was sitting alone.  I chatted with her.  I had the thought to sit next to her so she wouldn't have to sit alone, but I didn't feel like I could leave Sandy.  I didn't want to make Sandy feel bad by leaving her so I ignored the prompting.  Then I went and accompanied a song on the piano.  While I was playing I had the thought, again, that I needed to sit next to this girl.  I decided that I would sit next to her on my way back instead of sitting next to Sandy.  However, as I walked back, someone else was sittin...

The Last of the Spring Break, 2019 Posts

It's been a long 2 weeks!  It's been so wonderful though and I am really not ready for the kids to go back to school tomorrow.  I love having them home and I love having our freedom and no real responsibilities.  Summer couldn't come soon enough! We found out this week that Grandpa Duncan had a stroke.  We were all so sad.  We all fasted for him and have been praying every day for his recovery.  Even 7-year-old Mason, who has never fasted before, wanted to fast for Grandpa.  He dd so well and I was so proud of him!  We can hardly wait until June when we can visit Nana and Grandpa in person. I didn't realize it, but one of the days this week I did Walmart Pick-up (where I order things on-line and then the worker brings the groceries out to my car) and accidentally ordered A TON of these chocolate eggs!  They truly are the best chocolate egg in the world, so I'm not really complaining...but what in the world are we going to do with the...
