Sunday, July 19, 2015. July 24th is a holiday for the LDS church where we commemorate Brigham Young entering the Salt Lake Valley (through Immigration Canyon) and saying, "This is the Place! Those Mormon Pioneers definitely sacrificed a lot and left an amazing legacy for me, and others, to follow. The LDS church is making a point to focus on modern day pioneers. What am I leaving behind?

Sowing Simple Seeds: November 2014
http://sowingsimpleseeds.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 23, 2014. Wow, the holiday seasons are here, and life definitely does pick-up, as if things weren't fast-paced enough already. However, I've been pondering the value of gratitude this month, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts. It all began when I listened to President Uchtdorf's talk about gratitude, which you can find here. He talks about being grateful regardless of the quantity of our blessings, but rather, to find gratitude in. Indeed, I am grateful in. I'm a stay at home mom ...

Sunday, June 21, 2015. These friends of ours were. They came knocking on their door with these baby racoons and our friends took them in and nursed them back to health. Now, about three months later, they have to frisky pet racoons living in their home! Anna was unsure, but look how brave! We were all enjoying the racoons, when she brought out their pet turtle as well. The kids were beside themselves. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, August 24, 2014. Well, we've been busy these past few weeks, and I thought I would post the highlights. My sister and her family (three boys) came for a short visit because they happened to be traveling through. My sister was especially excited to see baby Adam.

Sowing Simple Seeds: January 2014
http://sowingsimpleseeds.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 30, 2014. Elsie definitely has her own mind. Her school lessons are often self directed and lead. This girl knows what she wants, which is why planning a birthday party with her was so fun! Elsie also wanted a game of tag and pin the tail on the tiger. With a couple extra games I turned it into a hunt where the "animal" children had to escape from the zoo and find their way back to the jungle. I think I had just as much fun pretending as the kids! It was fun, all around! I am usually re...

Sowing Simple Seeds: Someone is One!
http://sowingsimpleseeds.blogspot.com/2015/06/someone-is-one.html
Sunday, June 14, 2015. Adam turned one year old a few weeks ago. He is doing big boy things like FINALLY sleeping through the night (mostly), saying some english words, and just barely started walking! But just this weekend he decided to go solo. He has been so proud of himself, and we are so happy for him. His siblings really spoiled him by raiding their bedrooms and wrapping up some of their old stuffed animals and toys they thought he would enjoy. Afterwards we enjoyed some strawberry shortcake. It's ...

Sowing Simple Seeds: March 2015
http://sowingsimpleseeds.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 18, 2015. When we arrived, the spread was beautiful! And I gave the aprons. It was such a hit. Later, for our family birthday, Mike and I made a couch and two beds for her doll house and American Girl dolls, and her other grandma took her shopping and bought her a kitchen set for her doll house as well. Elsie was really spoiled by both of her grandmas. Each of them really went out of their way to make her feel grown-up and special. Thanks again Nonny! I can't find any pictures, so sorry!

Monday, June 22, 2015. For her birthday dinner we had pizza sticks, a specialty of the local grocery store's. That morning the neighbor's had a garage sale. Elsie woke up especially excited and headed out the door in search of the perfect present for her sister. She came back with a pillow pet and an elephant rocking toy. Anna loved getting presents all day long from her siblings. Anna is full of sugar and spice. She loves to sing and dance by herself. Sunday, June 21, 2015. We took a ton of pictures....

Sunday, July 27, 2014. I came across this. Article today from the Ensign while I was home from church with sick kids. It was an article about overcoming perfectionism. This vice is somehow revered, especially among women, nowadays. I came to understand the problem with perfectionism when I was reading a book called A Nation of Wimps: The High Cost of Invasive Parenting,. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Our pet crow and other small moments. They don't like cats or baths. They are very messy eaters. I am very grat...
