Games

We have been enjoying a few games as a family lately. I'm not always good at fun. Sometimes the to-do lists excite me more than fun. I find working fun! But it is good to spend time doing something with the kids that they enjoy. I have made some family history games and an still working on it. We've played Pounce, basketball, various tag games, etc. I think they feel my love when I do. Heavenly Father wants us to be close in work,learning, and fun! So Pounce here we come!

Benjamin's 17

I can't believe my Benjamin is 17. Where did the time go! I love my dear, sweet, strong, smart, fun, adventurous, spiritual son! Just one more year until his mission! I am going to miss him so much! They don't realize they are my everything! I adore my Benjamin! I'm so grateful I've been able to rub shoulders with one of the finest people ever! He is such a good example, has an understanding heart, inspires me and everyone to be better. How can I describe my dear Benjamin in words? Not happening! All I know is as he grows up and is away from home more and more my heart aches! Same with Jessica! These amazing, sweet people are my closest, dearest companions and friends. They are my world and have been for nearly 2 decades. They leave a huge hole when they are gone! I love my dear Benjamin! He will always be my little angel boy no matter how big, strong, and capable he gets! Heavenly Father knew we needed him! I'm so grateful I had the tremendous blessing of being his mom.

Hyrum's Sick

My poor, little guy, Hyrum. He has strep throat and is feeling pretty rough. He got an antibiotic shot yesterday, but it hasn't helped yet. I'm grateful for the herbs, healthy food, and oils we have to help him. I'm also grateful for modern medicine. I'm grateful for the extra time I get to spend helping Hyrum feel better. I pray this experience can bring us closer together.

Fall Gardening

Yesterday we listened to a book while we weeded in the garden. It was such a warm, gorgeous, fall day.  I love gardening! I love work! Better yet, I love working with my family! Heavenly Father is a glorious creator!

Moroni and Jeebz

These two have a special bond! Though 13 years apart they are best buddies! We read George Washington had a big, half brother who was 13 years older than him. He was the world to George.Moroni is the world to Jeebz and the reverse. Heavenly Father so blessed us with our dear friends in our family!

Bustination

We are working in the bus this evening. I love working with my family! We are trying to get it ready for travel and to live in, save money, and have adventures! Heavenly Father blesses us to live our dreams!

Blessed to be a Mother

My teenagers are so respectful, thoughtful, hard-working, self-motivated, funny, social, and absolutely wonderful. They are my dear, dear friends! The other day we had a disagreement about smart phones with one of our sons. Nothing big. He came and apologized and expressed his love and appreciation to us. He humbled himself and told of his feelings. It was such a tender experience. I'm so blessed to have these strong, diligent, humble followers of Christ in our home. They are phenomenal examples to me! I love them so very much!
