I have been slacking on the home blog. I have been so into my "food" blog I have neglected this one and as I was uploading some pictures to my computer. I just had to share some.
 Check out this sibling love! I love these moments...it is a testimony that they really do love each other.
 Our monkey boy...aka Goose! this kid keeps me ON. MY.TOES!!!

 Father's day...all the kids with the gift I put together for them from them (and me) of his Ironman 70.3 in St. George.

 Swimming is a love/hate relationship with Sophia. She just can't decide if she loves it or hates it. LOL.

 Natali in her swimming lessons. she is the center behind the instructor.

Cut his finger and would NOT let his webkinz dinosaur "The HULK" that his Aunt Noraleen gave him go. 

 My 38th birthday. We had just come from swimming so hense the no make up look. Sigh...spoiled as usual. Got a Cricut Expressions2 and still have yet to find time to play with it without Gooseboy trying to get in my way...

My good childhood friend Chass traveled this week to our youth stomping ground of Lincoln, NE. She was so sweet to take a picture of my old house on Baldwin. Oh...the  memories...The toilet that you flushed by pulling a chain, the bathtub with dragon feet. The hardwood floors and rolling doors for the family room and living room. The attic that brings awful memories of  my sister harboring a fugitive, a basement that brings memories of hours in a corner while Tornado sirens were blazing and as my Dad walked around upstairs and listening to the news while we panicked for his safety. The backyard jungle that grass that came up over our heads and a huge tree we would climb and the alley that we would play in. The mulberry trees that we would pick every summer and our garage set back that smelt like tar! So many memories of that place. But I have no reason really to go back and visit.

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 ...
