A Good Day for Biking

Today was a great day!  It was only 94 degrees outside (about 5 to 10 degrees cooler than normal) so we were able to spend a little bit more time outside.

After dinner, we went on a family bike ride.  Well, without Jon because we don't have enough bikes for us all to go together.  We will be buying a new bike soon since Lizzie and Bryce have been using our bikes for a while.

I will never get tired of riding bikes on our dirt road.  It is so peaceful!  I love, love, love that the kids can enjoy riding their bikes without worrying about getting hit by cars.  I love that I can let them go around the block by themselves without worrying that something terrible is going to happen to them.  I feel completely safe here in the Acres.  We are so blessed to be able to raise our kids here.  I feel like they are the luckiest kids in the world.





I made crockpot lasagna for dinner today and it was a hit!  It's the easiest meal in the world to make...and even William gobbled it up!


Mason would wear his pajamas all day if I allowed it.  Actually, he wouldn't wear his pajamas..he would wear over-sized shirts with only his underwear underneath.  I tried to take a picture of him in his "homeless" shirt today but he wasn't having it, ha ha.





The kids love playing with Daddy's old toys.  William and Caitlyn played with Daddy's dinosaurs today.



I am so proud of Lizzie!  She finished knitting her very first scarf!  It turned out beautiful!  She is one special girl to be able to focus on something for that long.  She worked very hard on it!


William got a bike ride after dinner as well as this morning after breakfast!


I snapped some pictures of the kids riding their bikes on our property.  What a wonderful life that they have!







Daddy doing a little yard work this morning before being stuck in meetings all day for his new job at Gorman.  What a great guy!


Some more bike riding pictures.








I forgot to mention that I have been reading a Goosebumps book a day to the kids.  They love those books!  And they are entertaining enough for me as well so I don't get tired of reading them.  A win for us all!

Tomorrow is William's party!  I'm excited to make the cake.  I really look forward to creating the kids' cakes every birthday.  It's one of my favorite parts about being a mom.  Hope it turns out!

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...
