A Goosebump Day


We had a great Saturday!

I read TWO Goosebumps books to Mason and the kids today.  Mason loves Goosebump books and he likes it when I read it to him because it goes by faster, ha ha.  I love the books as well so it's something that I enjoy doing with Mason.



Man, I love this kid!


Caitlyn and Lizzie hung out together today, as usual.  They even dressed alike.  They are the best sisters in the world.  I absolutely love how much they love and get along with one another.  I'm so blessed.





The boys got along well today as well.  They played Legos...what a surprise.  The kids also watched the Goosebumps Movie together.



Lizzie wanted me to put this picture on the journal/blog.  When we were in Mesquite a few weeks ago there was a waitress who wore this exact same shirt and the kids thought it was the funniest thing ever.


I made plum crisp for dessert today!  Another yummy food item to make with our backyard plums.  It was delicious!



 Caitlyn wanted to take some selfies this morning, ha ha.





Jon's parents came over for dinner today.  I should have taken pictures!!  Next time, for sure.  His parents are thinking of selling their home while the market is high...and then they want to wait to buy a home until the market lowers.  As such, they will need a place to stay in the meantime.  We offered our home to them.  They said it will be for around 6 months.  I feel like we owe it to them.  We lived with them for 4 months while we saved up money for our first home.  They allowed Darlene and Justin to live in their home for 2.5 years.  It's about time for someone to return the favor.  If they move in, Caitlyn will move back in with Lizzie, Mason will move in with Bryce, and William will move into our room with us.  It will be a tight squeeze for a few months, but it will be okay.  Not sure when this will be happening, but maybe before the end of the year.

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...
