Playing catch up...

-
I have been meaning to blog about the things happening in our world but time just gets away with me and the next thing weeks have past...
and here we are... and just for the record blogger and pictures are a nightmare so you get the jist of it all even though it doesn't line up correctly with the pictures...I have to use an outside source to make everything look good and it takes longer so there ya go!










so we
got a new set of bunk
beds...Natali moved to the bottom bunk and is thrilled. Noah took the top bunk above Kate and Kate is thrilled to be out of her little toddler bed that she grew out of like a year ago...














The kids started school. Noah started Kindergarten and Natali started full day in the first grade...they both love it and this was Noah after the first day...he said, "Pre-school was short and Kindergarten is looooong!" I wonder what he is going to think of the schedule come next year. Kindergarten is only an hour longer than his pre-school. LOL!




We said goodbye to our very good friends the Borsella's. Our friend Heidi did a play date to say goodbye to Malia and the kids Mylee (5) and Kai (2). Natali loved Mylee and Noah was going to be in her Kindergarten class until Seth (who worked for Nathan for quite a while) was offered a job in Virginia they couldn't refuse. We wish them luck in all they do and will miss them!





















Natali started soccer....After much convincing by her coach (our very good friend from our ward) and from Natali herself we finally signed her up for soccer. I gave her the choice between soccer and dance and she chose soccer. Honestly, I am not excited about it but she is and that is all that matters. I am a overly paranoid mom to begin with, then on top of that the weather here is excruciating! I personally don't do well with heat (even in the shade) her first practice my car registered at 103. She got heat exhaustion the first practice but I think it was poor planning on my part and an over excited 6 year old who refused to take more than a sip of water before she
decided to run back on the field before everyone else...
after talking with her coach we came up with some great ways to keep her cool on the field and last week it worked and practice was sooooooo much better....and she loves it!

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
