Happy Valentine’s Day!

I just wanted to give a little shout out to my Valentines today! My sweet Violet… who is such a silly girl, and so sweet and tries so hard to make everyone happy- especially her sister.  She is such a good sport, she goes to all my classes, hangs out with my friends and is [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am told by the calendar that today is Thanksgiving… it sure doesn’t feel like it… 90 degree weather, Sophie is at school, Jeff is at work… but the part that I like best about Thanksgiving (besides the obvious food and good company) is that it allows for me to reflect on the many blessings [...]

Oops… Forgot this one!

I am pretty sure that I forgot this goodbye because I am in denial!  I can’t believe that over 1 year ago I was first called to be Young Women’s President.  I was overwhelmed, stressed and worried that I wouldn’t do a good job.  I have truly loved being in YW this past year, despite [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Last year I loved doing my 30 days of Thanks… but this month has been hectic, crazy and I am just really glad I kept my head on straight!  So, instead, I am going to celebrate with a list of my greatest blessings!  In no real order… A house over my head and food on [...]

2010 Recap…

I really like how some of the bloggers I read have little recaps of their year, month by month, I am not sure if it bores other people, but I like looking over what I have done, and what has happened over the last year.  Last year was full of ups and downs.  I did [...]

Gratitude: Day 25

Today I am grateful for a whole lot… it is Thanksgiving after all!  I am so thankful for my family, and my in laws… for my fun brothers, awesome sisters (I am going to start calling them that… I don’t have any other kind!), and all 4 fabulous parents.  I am so grateful that we [...]

Gratitude: Day 24

Today I am grateful for my adorable girls.  The dealt with 4 hours at the airport yesterday (we were so worried about security we got there early only to find out our flight was delayed) and then flew in, were only mildly cranky as we picked up the rental car and then slept as we [...]

Gratitude: Day 23

Today I am grateful that we are flying to Vegas, and then headed to St. George, to spend Thanksgiving with my family (for the first time in 5 years!!!).  I will be even more grateful if the airport doesn’t look too crazy, and everything goes well!

Gratitude: Day 22

Today I am grateful for Violet’s teeth.  She just cut an incisor and a molar… I hope we are done for a time, but I am liking that she is sleeping better again and that her runny nose seems to be going away.  Until another tooth!

Gratitude: Day 21

Today I am grateful for cutie patootey nephews… or at least the one that has already been born… we got to see sweet Dean today, and have 2 more days to enjoy his company before we leave town.  It is so fun to have him here, and Sophie is LOVING having aitty bitty to mother.
