A Day of Firsts for Mason

What a busy day we had!

We woke up, I made homemade blueberry muffins for breakfast.

Then we got in the car and headed to "The Yellow House", as we have been referring to our Dream Home.  On the way we saw a beautiful double rainbow!  It was so bright and vibrant.




Here is our dream home!  The yellow house.  It is in Antelope Acres, which is about 20 to 25 minutes away from our current home.  Homes in  this area each have at least a few acres on each property.  Our dream home has 2.5 acres.  It is somewhat of a fixer-upper.  The outside porch needs to be sanded down and painted.  The inside needs a little help, but it also looks great in some areas.  We like this home for the potential that it offers.  It's a blank slate, we can design the landscaping the way that we want.  We can plant trees, grass, make a fire pit...whatever we want.  And we LOVE the wrap around porch and the balcony that comes off of the Master Bedroom!


The Front Porch!



Look at all of that wide open, peaceful, and quiet space!


Our across-the-dirt-road neighbor!



The kitchen!  There is a double fireplace that opens into the kitchen and the family room.


I love the stairway!  I can imagine decorating it for the holiday's.  There is also that little odd short door...not sure what we will do with that.  Toy storage?





Mason played in his FIRST basketball game!  To be honest, he didn't enjoy it at all.  He looked like he was going to cry the entire game.  But he will push through it and make it to the end of the season!

These pictures were taken before the game started...







After Mason's game, he went to Rock-n-jump for the first time.  He was invited to a birthday party.  Rock-n-Jump is an indoor trampoline park.  It is awesome!


Two sets of missionaries came over for dinner tonight as well as a new couple from our ward.  We had a great time socializing!

It was a great Saturday!

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...
