William's Turn to Potty Train

Caitlyn asked me to take a picture of her beautiful picture that she drew of Jesus' Birth.  She is such an artist and loves drawing!


Today is the day that William got to try out potty training for the first time.  I'm not sure that I can stick with it...but I need to.  I'm ready to be DONE with diapers for good!  He pooped and peed his underwear today.  But he also made it to the potty a few times.  So I think we will try again tomorrow.  It makes it difficult when we have to go in the car all of the time to pick up and drop of older siblings...but we will do the best that we can.





Before getting the kids from school Caitlyn and I made another one of our favorite healthier treats.  They are called "energy bites".  We mix together peanut butter, honey, oats, flax seed, and some mini-chocolate chips.  Yum, yum, yum!


William took a nap on my lap for an hour and then was so happy when he woke up!  Subsequently, he will not go to bed at his usual bedtime.  He is sitting right next to me as I write this post and refuses to stay in his bed...oh well.


The weather was rainy again today.  It was even cold enough to snow a bit, which the kids went crazy over.  They had to go outside and taste the snow falling from the sky.  They were all hoping that school would be cancelled tomorrow because of the snow, ha ha.


The girls are staying up late tonight with Daddy.  Daddy is teaching a class tonight but will be getting out a little bit early and will be taking the girls to "Daddy-Daughter Night" at Chile's.  They are so excited!

Lizzie and Caitlyn really are the best of friends.  Caitlyn sleeps in Lizzie's room more than her own.  I am so happy that they have such a loving relationship.  Mason and Bryce, however, do not have such a loving relationship.  Not sure how to fix that...hopefully it will get better as they mature.

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...
