 The other day I was at the chiropractor whom happens to be the Elder's Quorum President in our ward. Towards the end of my adjustment, he mentioned to me how thankful he was to have Patrick as a teacher and that he is thankful that he is so well grounded and that he can tell that he is rock solid and has a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Interview ready. As he spoke, I

Back in November, we saw an ad from a lady whom was selling chickens. I spoke to her with excitement about eating fresh eggs and had the kids pick out their favorite chicken! I went home with what I thought were 5 "hens" in hopes that when spring came, we would get lots of eggs.  Lucy was white, Little Red is, well, red of course and the other three were big black ones which looked nearly

I have been wanting to write more about where we moved to for quite some time! Then, just a few days ago, my friend from Vegas asked me some detailed questions about where we live since they plan to move here in the future. They have visited here before and wanted to move here long before we were planted here, so it is fun that I can share some of my experiences with her, since she

 Devon turned one AND he has decided to walk this week! At 6:30 on the night of Devon's birthday, I decided it was high time for us to put together a "party" for this special little guy of ours! Boy have baby parties changed since Justin had his first birthday almost 7 years ago! It is sooo much simpler these days! Just one of the differences between being first and fourth in line! What

I don't know if you knew this already, but I am quite fond of old things, particularly functional old things!  For many, many years I have been admiring an antique butter churn that belonged to my grandma then mom where it was displayed on a shelf.  On my birthday in July, my mom gave it to me as a gift.  Since then I have been determined to make my very own butter,  and we finally

On Saturday, I decided after many requests from my mother and several from friends that a blog post way past due! The problem: after many failed attempts, I can't get even get one of the myriad of pictures to post on my blog  while using this little tablet. It is frustrating and I want to just wait until I can a proper blog, but that might take eons. Instead, I will try to pluck out a bit of a

I don't have a way to get the pictures onto this computer to help me write this blog entry and it's driving me nuts. BUT....

HE'S HERE!!!!It's been a great day! It "started" at 3:00 a.m. with a puddle on the floor next to my bed.  It "ended" with a beautiful well nourished baby boy at 7:55 this morning when I received him into my arms.  All 9 lbs and 4 wonderful ounces of him! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect birth....{Well, except for the stitches.} We're pretty sure his name is Devon. Now, let the real

On Saturday the 8th at 8 AM, the morning after writing my last post about wanting my water to break so I know it was time, it happened.... or so I thought. I got up from sitting down and lo and behold, amniotic fluid!It wasn't a ton, probably a 1/2 cup worth, but it was something to get excited about! Oh the excitement! I called the midwife and told her that there was clear amniotic fluid and

40 weeks and counting. And I'm not the only one counting. It's not all my fault, but I convinced myself {and everyone else} that on Sunday, December 26th, I was in labor. Starting during church at around 2:00 I began to have regular contractions while hoping that my bag of waters would stay intact.  It did of course. Little by little I started realizing that they were pretty consistent, no

Let me rephrase that.  LADIES in waiting! I've realized that I'm not the only lady in waiting around here! I think Anna might even be more excited for the baby to arrive than I am!I'm due Jan. 7th but have gone a bit earlier in the past, soto make it easier for my kids to understand when I was due, whenever they asked when the baby would come out I just told them, AFTER CHRISTMAS.....

I had driven past them half a dozen times on the way to the park. Two trees, heavy and full of goodness were calling my name. Then finally, one day I did it.  I wrote the note and it went something like this. I was noticing that you had a large amount of fruit on you tree. If you are not going to use it, I was wondering if I could pay you for any you might not use. Just call me and let me know.

I know that this is all over the internet, but I'm going to add my 7 cents since someone asked me about it.  My sister is getting married and is going domestic on us so it was a nice treat when she invited herself and my mom over to make laundry soap. I bought the ingredients several months ago and was glad for the company to complete the task. I found recipes in several places but decided to

For the past couple of months, my brain has been much like my planner: EMPTY. The first trimester of this pregnancy sucked all of the life out of me.  I don't remember having been so zapped before. Maybe it's because after taking care of 3 other children, there is not much life left in me at times. Maybe it's because the onset of summer coincided with the 1st trimester. Maybe I'm just

This afternoon I decided the post I wrote 3 weeks ago was getting very stale. I sat down to write, but nothing made it onto my screen. At the time I could not think of anything else to write about. I was experiencing a bloggers block of sorts. Luckily as I thought, what in the world is worth sharing???? (aside from just more pictures of DISASTERS BY DALLIN) I remembered that there is really A

I don't know how it happened, but it did. Justin is my OFFICIAL gas pumper. AND HE LOVES IT!!!  He thinks he is the luckiest kid on the planet!     Now Anna can't wait until she is old enough to the lucky one who fills the car with gas! In time Anna, in time.

last night for story time we read, " alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day."  if i was writing that book today, i wouldn't have anything to write about that is as tragic as tragic as having to wear railroad striped pajamas or loosing my marble down the drain. isn't that the worst? when you are having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day....for  NO REASON??? so far

Dear Mister Green Caterpillar,  This is just a little note to tell you how much we appreciated having you in our home, which was WAY better than having you in our garden. You were so cute and green and little caterpillar, but boy was your appetite voracious! You did just was the famous "Very Hungry Caterpillar" did, for which you should be proud. You were the perfect one to become our science

Some days I am not exactly patient. And it's not pretty.  Last week I had one of those days.  They happen more often than I'd like them to on this journey called motherhood. You know the days.  Right? On the edge days, where at any moment you could be knocked off the edge by the slightest puff of air. The day before,Bounty napkins that were usually 3.40 which were rolled down to 1.97 as a special

MY MOM! for being the best blog commenter on this entire earth. okay, maybe not the earth, just my blog, but that's dang good. the other day i got yet another GUSHY mommy comment and wondered. has there ever been a post she DIDN'T comment on? i just checked, and believe me it's rare! a simple comment is just so symbolic of her desire to tell me she loves me. plus, she knows the power of

Everyone always asks, "So, how is homeschool going???" Well,  Homeschooling with K12 is really perfect for our family, even if every day isn't perfect. I love the k12 curriculum and free supplies. I LOVE that every lesson is well planned, thought out and already copied for me. I love how flexible and reasonable Justin's online teacher is. I love how we can work at our own pace. I love that I

 i faced the music a LONG time ago. my 5 year old is a professional liar! i'm trying not to make a big fuss about it so he doesn't lie for attention. we read the story about the boy that cried wolf. i try giving him the benefit of the doubt. {which is VERY hard sometimes.}  we nonchalantly read louder when in the scriptures we read about where liars go. i lied to him and told him that

Because all of you have made covenants - you know what to do and you know how to do it - our greatest need is to remember.

this year for halloween, patrick and i threw all common sense aside (as do many, many other parents) and gave our "pests" as many sedation packets as they desired. for one day, our chosen form of "pest control" came in a little package and contained a something nearly intoxicating. AND....the "pests" love it! as demonstrated below, the packages can keep "pests" in control for a substantial

Justin-  "Mom, I don't think it was such a good idea to give Anna that whole bag of peas." Mom-  "Hmmm, you are probably right." Why is it that the more children I have, the more brain power I loose???

While thumbing through St. Rose's Fall calendar, I found a Love and Logic Course. And it's for a GREAT price!!! I paid $90 bucks for a course which is average. This one is only $25 bucks! Course description: Love & Logic -Early Childhood Made Fun! Learn practical skills to handle the most frustrating parenting concerns. Five sessions. Adults only. Cost: $25 (Includes Manual) Mondays-

Justin has been observant....he saw me on the computer looking at grocery adds and said, "Mommy, you must really like ads...A LOT!" I asked why and he said,"because you look at them a lot." Also on two recent occasions he found ads laying on the street and said, "here mom, these are for you because I love you." My conclusion...my 5 year old thinks I am obsessed with price matching!

Last week I realized again what I already know.I love Love and Logic....and I really loved the day I learned a technique called, "ENERGY DRAIN."Creating logical consequences isn't always easy...or convenient, but Energy Drain is.and as masochistic as it sounds, I like it when Justin (and now Anna at times) drains my energy.and that is because I love that I don't have to do jobs since HE is

We are wanna-be freeloaders…..kind-of.So here's the thing. Our family is taking a trip up to most beautiful Bear Lake in Southern Idaho and to visit Grandma and Grandpa in Rexburg. It's far….like 12 hours or something absurd. Just since we'll be up there anyways, I thought it would be nice to spend a few days in Northern Utah. Were planning on staying in whatever motel we happen to be passing by

As I swept my floor for the 22nd time today I decided something.At my front door I need a sign.It would be to inform those entering.I especially need this sign to inform the oh so polite souls with soles that walk over my thresh hold.I wished I had this sign TODAY....and yesterday.....and the day before.It would say, most fittingly..........or else!{unless you'd like to take some of my dirt or

so far, all of my children have "outie" belly buttons.i was wondering why that might be...so i discovered this:"One theory holds that the innie belly button is the norm, while an outie is the result of a genetic aberration. "....and other useless information. i don't know why it is so, but i seem to remember some social phopas related to having an outie as opposed to an innie, but i could care

Dear Abby, I need HELP! I have a confession. I like blogging, a lot. I have thought on occasion, " Oh blogging, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways." I've counted the ways before. Believe me, there are lots. Blogging is my drug of choice. It makes my mind whirl with delight to actually be thinking, growing, expanding, gleaning, sharing, communicating, relating and creating.
