Back at it!

It was difficult to get back into the swing of things after a 3 day weekend...but we made it!


Lizzie went out with Grandma today to visit her friend, Shayla.  They have known each other for about 6 years now.



Outside time and Popsicles after dinner.





This little chunk is such a character!








Catilyn created this mini Caitlyn/friend/robot.  It's adorable.  I have a feeling that I will not be able to throw this huge craft away.  How could I?




I was reading a book to the kids and William fell asleep right next to me!


The kids made a mess today, but I don't mind.  They were being very creative with cardboard boxes.  I don't really know what they were making...robots?




He fell asleep sitting up, the strangest thing!







I started the boys and Caitlyn on the Hoffman Academy online piano lessons today.  I think it will work for Caitlyn because she is starting from the very beginning...I'm still uncertain about the boys.  I'll see how it goes tomorrow...



Jon bought some essential oils and a few diffusers off of Amazon.  We bought a few oils that supposedly help with reducing anxiety.  We diffused the Rose oil today and it was heavenly.  It really relaxed me.  I hope it makes a difference.  I'm also going to try to do daily yoga and meditation to see if it helps me.  I just don't want my anxiety to take over and I don't want to turn into a mean mom and wife.

Jon's parents have sold their house.  They will be moving into our home in 35 days.  I hope and pray that I can get a hold of my anxiety prior to that day.  I am so nervous.  Heaven help me!

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...
