Not the best picture of the sign, but this will have to do.

So proud of Jeremy and his partner Julie on all their hardwork.

They purchased a billboard and it sits by the Canadian border. Watch out Canada!!

2017 Wrestling

2017-05-03T10:45:00.001-04:00

I never tire of watching G compete in sports. Whatever sport that may be, he is driven and competive and a good sport. Go G, so proud of you!

Saturday Breakfast

Sometimes on rainy cloudy Saturday's we go to IHOP for breakfast. It was the perfect thing to do on this cold blustery morning.

Happenings

January Happenings.

Chief attached a hoop to his bunk bed.

Toad is obsessed with his shark blanket and Lady always gives him nurse checkups.

Making messes is an every day occurrence for these littles of mine.

Elma Meadows

2017-05-03T10:39:00.000-04:00

It was one of the gorgeous days where the sun shined bright and the trails were all fresh with untouched powder. This is heaven right here! When we woke up and saw that the sun was out we headed to Elma Meadows with the children to do some snowshoeing. It was heaven. The children all had a great time. Oliver was in charge of blazing the trail and I can't help but melt when I see Clark with ski poles.

Toad's favorite spot in the house.

Family Snowshoeing at Sprague Brooke Park

2017-05-02T08:51:00.003-04:00

One of my favorite places to visit is Sprague Brooke Park. We love to snowshoe there. The kids including the teenagers even had a great time! We snowshoed in a ways and then stopped and the older kids had a snowball fight. We came prepared this time with cups and a thermos of hot cocoa. It was the perfect Saturday with my family.

This is proof that my littles do sometime sleep! :)

Feeling blessed tonight.

Indeed they are miracle babies.

Winter on the Farm

2017-01-16T22:11:00.003-05:00

Winter on the farm. I had a lightbulb moment today. When the Father and the Son appeared to Joseph Smith in the Sacred Grove, they called him by name. A testament to the fact that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ know us individually by name.

I Love to See the Temple

2017-01-16T22:11:00.001-05:00

I often look back to when I was first married and my biggest trial was being so worried about how we would pay our $50 credit card bill. As I grow older it seems that the trials of life get harder, more intense and a lot more frequent. Grateful that I can step away and go to the temple and be reminded that I can do hard things. I can go to the temple and be reminded that the Savior knows me by name. I can go to the temple and find peace and rest and whatever I'm experiencing at the moment. The temple puts everything into perspective of what matters in life and what doesn't. Grateful for a Savior that suffered for not only my sins, but for my heartaches and trials as well. He suffered for us so that He could succor us when we are in the midst of a trial.

Toad's Prayer

2017-01-16T22:10:00.005-05:00

Tonight, Toad was saying the family prayer and all of a sudden, he flexed both of his muscles and said, "thank you for my muscles and for being strong." I am defiantly a prayer peeker when I hear my littles pray and so grateful that I witnessed him flexing.

Sunbeams!

2017-01-16T22:10:00.003-05:00

I blinked and my babies are SUNBEAMS! No more nursery for these two. They absolutely loved their first day. They are growing up. I sure do love these two.

Elma Meadows Snowshoeing and Sledding

2017-01-16T22:10:00.001-05:00

For Oliver's birthday we happened to get a beautiful snowstorm that dropped lots of the powdery stuff. So on Oliver's birthday we headed to the hills and did some sledding and snowshoeing. It was the perfect birthday activity.

Happy 7th Birthday Oliver!

2017-01-16T22:09:00.002-05:00

Chief is our rainbow baby. He is the rainbow that came after one of our many storms. I am forever grateful for his birthmother. I get tears in my eyes when I think of her and her selfless act and the sacrifice that she made. She loved Oliver so much and wanted him to have a mom AND a dad. Something that she couldn't provide at the time. We are forever grateful for her love, her unselfishness and her huge heart. In my mind, there has to be a special place in heaven for birthmothers. Chief has many of his birthmother's traits. His heart is as big as the Grand Canyon, he's incredibly compassionate and the most loving little boy. Not a day goes by that I don't hear I love you. Chief can always be found on an adventure. Whether it's making a harness and lowering himself from the top bunk or making a makeshift parachute from grocery bags and jumping out of a tree house. His eye lashes go on for days and his strong personality keeps me on my toes to say he least. Thank you Chief for being my workout buddy and for reminding me of what love is. Happiest of birthday's to my favorite SEVEN year old.
