School....

I love the 1st day of school. The kids were all excited & anxious last night. They each received a beautiful father's blessing. Landon said, "What did you put on my head, daddy?" After Jace had his blessing, Landon tenderly said, "Did you feel it too, Jace". I love those moments when they feel the Spirit of God so strong. We tapped in that feeling and talked more about the Holy Ghost & how nice it feels to have him with us all the time.

This morning was nice & calm as the kids got their lunches ready, morning chores done & out the door. Now what will me & the baby do....don't worry, I've already got a LONG list of things I want to accomplish.

Summer Recap

Summer has come & gone in a flash! We had such mild...even down right COLD...summer weather that our family really only wanted to hang out at home. We spend our time playing the Wii, playing with cousins, SEWING, playing with the BABY, watering our garden, prepping & pouring a patio & READING. OHHHH the joys of a relaxed summer day. Now let the games begin....
