Monday Funday

 School went well today...I'm still concerned about how this is all going to work out, but I think it will be okay.  As long as they are all continuously learning and improving...I hope that's enough for them to be ready for next year.

I took Lizzie to Gorman in order for her to pick up her Chromebook for school.  It didn't work out...we will have to pick it up later.  But William took a nice nap in the car!  And I was able to listen to a Come Follow Me Podcast...so it was a win for me, regardless of whether or not we picked up a Chromebook.  In addition, Nana called me when we were driving home.  It was such a wonderful phone call.  I love her so much. She just called to tell me that she's praying for me night and day and that she prays that I have the strength to make it through the stressful.  What a wonderful grandma she is.  She just makes me feel good about myself.  I needed someone to cheer me on today...it was an answer to prayers that she called me.  It's hard not having a Mom to call.  Mom's are natural cheerleaders.  Mom would always tell me that she was proud of me and that I was doing a good job.  Not having Mom has been hard because no one has taken her place in that regard.  Aside from Nana.  Nana has been a wonderful "mother" for me since Mom died.  I go to her for advice, I send her pictures of the kids...everything that I would do if Mom was still alive.  I feel so blessed to have such a Nana.  And that we have been able to have such a good relationship despite living so far apart.


We had a little fun in the middle of the day today...














William did a great job coloring his Alphabet Puppets today!




Ham and egg muffins for breakfast again.  Easiest breakfast ever!


The cake that never ends...



It's still pretty smokey outside...not to mention HOT (111 degrees today).  So the kids did wii fit for P.E. today.

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...
