It’s all good.

September 15, 2015

Jonathans co-worker mentioned that sometimes my blog makes it sound like I feel like life is really hard. Hmmmm. Could it be because some of my posts are titled "Boo Hoo", "Had a bad day", "Jealous" or "Honey I crashed the car" ? Maybe! :) If I really wanted to sound sad I should add a few more like "Christmas in the ICU" or from the following year "How to give CPR to your 2 month old." But even as I write the titles to seemingly not so nice days, I know that now they just bring ... VIEW POST

Happy Birthday to Me.

August 17, 2015

The older I get the less I care about celebrating birthdays- but you cant NOT do anything when you have kids who are still super excited about birthdays. I have been writing in my little brown journal at night, trying to not overlook or underestimate the Tender Mercies (TM) in my life but tonight instead I'll write here. TM- Jonathan came home from work early so we could take the kids and dogs to the lake. (We have only taken everyone there once so I thought it would be fun to do something ... VIEW POST

I can be Batman

August 13, 2015

But its not easy. I would rather let Jonathan be Batman. You know, the one from the best Batman movie ever? The one with the really awesomely creepy and scary Joker? At the end of the movie (if you need a recap) we find out that the town hero has turned bad and done bad things- so all hope in Gotham will be lost when everyone finds out. But Batman (read this in a low raspy voice) says "Blame it on me, I can be whatever the city needs" and so he lets everyone think he is the bad guy by doing ... VIEW POST

Honey I crashed the car.

May 2, 2015 2 Comments

This pic says it all, and the roof even popped back up a little when they turned the car over! So we were going to a wedding reception. I had made the wedding cake but since I dont deliver, it was already there in one piece. Jonathan was at a camp out with Jack, and Scott was just home from a swim meet and too tired to leave so Natalie, Ben, Ty and I loaded up in the car. We sat in the driveway for a few minutes debating if we really should go because Ben was SO tired and I had a lot of cake ... VIEW POST

To touch His robe.

Dear Elder Bednar, When I found out you were coming to the Sacramento area and our Stake would get to hear from you I was really looking forward to it. (I think it's been 35 years since we had an apostle speak here!) I know we have been hearing you and all the other wonderful leaders speak every 6 months in General Conference but for some reason I just felt like this was a really special occasion. My husband Jonathan and I are the lucky parents of 5 beautiful children, two of which have ... VIEW POST

Because they thought it looked awesome.

April 2, 2015 Leave a Comment

I find millions of selfies on the different devices around the house. Usually I delete 49 of the 50 taken (they can't seem to ever take just one...) But when Ben, (following the lead of the bigs) learned how to set wallpaper (lock AND/OR home screen) it went to a whole new level. I've started taking screen shots when I find new pictures set on my phone (and now saving them here), I love them so much because whatever it's of, the child who set it thought it was AWESOME. ...
