Chalk Creations

The Primary dropped off a cute little package for the kids today.  There were treats, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk.  The kids were asked to draw a scripture story with their chalk and share their creations on Facebook.

This is William's dragon, not quite a scripture story, ha ha.


This is more like it.  William drew Jonah inside of the whale!


Bryce drew Joseph Smith and the Angel Moroni.


Caityn drew Joseph Smith when he retrieved the Golden Plates.


Mason drew the Tree of Life!


The kids had fun with the bubbles, too.  It was really windy outside so the wind did all of the work.



I made a peach cobbler for dessert with peaches from our peach tree!  It was so yummy!  I'm determined more than ever to learn how to preserve the fruit that we produce (actually, that God produces).


Lizzie made homemade pretzels for lunch today!  These pretzel bites are a favorite of ours.  Better than mall pretzels, for sure!



Jon continued to work on the entertainment center.  It's going to be amazing!


William looks so cute in this Racoon hat.  Bryce and Mason got these racoon hats at Yellowstone last year.  They love walking in the yard wearing their hats and pretending that they live in the olden days, ha ha. 


Lizzie made these sleeping masks for her and Caitlyn today!  She is getting more and more confident with using the sewing machine.  She's amazing! I'm so proud of my girls.

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...
