I printed this off for my laundry room only days before the stomach flu hit our house… how providential.    It was a good reminder, since the piles were abundant this week!  

Been thinking a lot lately about the blessing of having a prophet.  I am certain that he (and those who serve with him) speak the words of God.  Just like those that joined Noah in the ark, I believe with all my heart that following the living prophet will keep us safe, and bring us…

Part of our spring break to-do list was hiking Ensign Peak, and luckily, spring break had a great spring day for us to do it!   I've always loved hiking Ensign Peak, having read as a kid the story of my great-great-grandpa hiking it from his journal (when he figured, once he got to the…

After all, I did just scrub both the floor and the bathrooms.     

We always see families at the zoo with their Dad, and I always think, "how fun that they get to be at the zoo with their dad!"  Nate had such a busy summer and fall last year that he never made it with us… but on his [only] day of spring break, it was US…

Hoping to get some pictures for Emma's baptism invitations, I took the kids downtown for a photo shoot/visitors center fhe.  Nate was out of town (not sure if this helped or hurt my cause.  :)  It was much colder and windier than the forecast, and Zach was coming down with a nasty cold (both of…

It isn't easy letting your baby turn two… but since it was going to happen whether I liked it or not, I figured we might as well enjoy it.  :) She got to pick out a "daniel tiger" at the toy store… since there are no real Daniel Tiger toys yet (and since I always…
