Swimming

Ok, a funny story I have to share with you all! Just yesterday (was that seriously just yesterday?) the boys and I went swimming at Sinsheimer Pool. Derek, Logan and I were in the ladies room getting changed (I didn’t have to change), minding our own business, when all of a sudden those sweet innocent boys got a first hand glimpse of a ladies external anatomy. The funny thing is, as they were trying so hard NOT to look at her, they had these looks of, “Holy cow, she’s naked!!!!” on their faces. After we left the changing room they both looked at me and said, “That was gross!” Hahahaha!!! I just looked at them and said, “Well, it’s a natural thing and there’s nothing wrong with her getting changed. And not all ladies look exactly the same.” Derek then proceeded to say, “Ya, mom, you don’t look like that! You look much better, right?” I just said that I didn’t sag quite as much as she did. :) Ahh, so funny.


This experience doesn’t end here, when Kaleb and Tyler found us at the ball park (Derek and Logan had to get to Jr Giants just across the street) they said there was a man that was naked in the shower: in the mens room (which is fine and dandy), so they couldn’t shower…lets just say it was a bit awkward for them. Hahaha. I guess Kaleb couldn’t stop laughing and Tyler kept trying to get him to be quiet…can you imagine? Oh, to live in a world where privacy just doesn’t matter to so many. I thought the woman in the ladies room would have been a bit more considerate, but I guess you learn something new every day!


I have mixed emotions about this experience. I’m glad the younger boys now know what a woman’s body looks like since they aren’t seeing mine naked EVER, they were a little repulsed by said naked body, so that makes me happy, too! I think it’s hilarious how all of this played out. And now Kaleb and Tyler know what to expect in the mens room. I’m not sure which I’d rather have Derek and Logan see…because I can’t control those boys in a room I can’t go in. They need a family changing room in that place!!!

Mother's Day

Seriously...where did April go?? Time is flying by faster than I can keep up with!!

I've had the most wonderful Mother's Day yet! I was able to attend the Temple yesterday with Mom and Dad while Will stayed home with the boys so I could go. I had a fabulous dinner of Dungeness Crab with M&D that was the best I've ever had. When I got home the boys and Will had scrubbed the Van (it was sooooo dirty it took them over 1 1/2 hours), fun gifts were awaiting me, and there were lots of hugs, smiles, and loves. This morning I woke up to waffles, eggs, bacon and hot chocolate, tons more hugs and loves, and lots of "Happy Mother's Day" wishes. This afternoon I got lunch made for me and soon I'll be heading over to Mom and Dad's house for family dinner. I feel so blessed to be the mother of 4 amazing boys. They make me so proud to be their mom! I am so grateful for my amazing husband, who did all those fabulous things all the while feeling pretty lousy and is now sleeping peacefully next to me, at least for a little while.

A little catching up needs to happen, but I think I'll save that for another day...I want to go spend some time with those amazing boys that give me a reason to wake up every morning!

Happy Mother's Day to all my amazing friends, sisters, and moms!! I love you all!! I love that we all can be mothers, because we all make a difference in children's lives, whether they are ours by birth or not.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!


We had a yummy naturally green dinner tonight. Salad with only green vegetables, baby bok choy, green pears, kiwi, and broccoli. It was gone in no time and I had to start cutting more fresh food up for those still desiring more. :) We hope everyone has had a fun and safe St. Patrick's Day!

Great FHE tonight

In Matthew 5:48 it states: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." And it's cross reference for "perfect" is Doctrine and Covenants 67:13 it says: "Ye are not able to abide the presence of God now, neither the ministering of angels; wherefore, continue in patience until ye are perfected."

Perfection is not something we are going to reach in our mortal life. The Lord wants us to live our lives so we can return to Him and live with Him in the Celestial Kingdom. That is where we reach our state of perfection. What a great Family Home Evening we had tonight discussing this topic with the boys.

Happy, Happy Birthday!!










Logan, sweet Logan, is now 6 years old! When I woke up and told him happy birthday he said, "I can't believe I'm 6!!" He's been counting down the days and weeks for this day! He was able to go to school today, thank goodness. He's had a fever for the last 4 days. I was so glad he was fever free this morning! It would be so sad to miss school and not be able to see all your friends.

My amazing Logan is such a blessing to have in our family. I am so grateful he was sent to us. His loving charm still catches so many peoples hearts. He's our angel, with a bit of a temper and silliness, sent from above!

Happy Birthday my amazing Logan!

Here are just a few of the reasons why I love you!

1. Your silly disposition, loving to make others laugh
2. Your intelligence and memory
3. How easily you come out of your angry funks, still
4. Your desire to ALWAYS be playing with a friend from school
5. How you know what you want and can voice to anyone exactly what you want
6. Your knowledge of good and bad, Christ, and the gospel!
I love you little man!!

New Insight

2 Corinthians 12:9

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Amen!!
