Feeling Crafty

I finished planning out the Halloween Countdown today.  I still have to glue it all together (I have to buy more glue sticks).  I have a feeling it's going to take a long time to glue it all on.  I also have to figure out how I'm going to hang it on the wall.  I guess I'll need to buy a dowel.  And some more ribbon.  Anyway, I was reminded today of how much I really do enjoy crafting.  I should do it more often.



After dinner the kids played outside.  Lizzie has a new trick on her bike...using no feet.  I'm not sure I'm a fan of her new trick, ha ha.  Especially because Mason follows her every move and I saw him attempting the same thing.  He isn't as coordinated so imagine he will be getting some bumps and bruises over the next few days as I tries out this trick.



Today is William's LAST day as a 3-year-old.  I can't believe it.  He's my baby.  He's 2 years older than the other kids were when they became an older sibling...but he is turning 4 and I still refer to him as the baby.  I'm going to have to start being more tough on him.










Here is a picture of the sunrise that I took this morning on my run.  I went on a short run this morning.  I have become addicted to just being outside in the peace and quiet in the mornings.



Now on to decorating for William's birthday.  If I take a picture I will add it to this post.  I like to decorate the night before their birthday so that they have something to see first thing in the morning.

Here are his decorations and gifts. We got him a superhero backpack and sign at the DI in Utah, so that was inexpensive.  I bought 3 books on super clearance at Seagull Book in Utah, also very inexpensive.  We spent some money on other gifts...so I guess that he got spoiled this birthday.  Tara also gave us a batman shirt, socks, and slap bracelet.

I'm actually feeling a little guilty for spoiling him so much...I hope the guilt subsides soon.  I don't like feeling this way.

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...
