Benjermin is getting so big! Kimber and Ray blessed him this month. My parents came over from Bend. Ray's grandparents came from Utah. My mom helped me make his blessing outfit. John got him a Missionary tag. He was so cute! He was nice through the blessing. No crying. Kimber is doing a great job… Continue reading Someone is getting BIG!
My greatest joy and my greatest sorrows come in and through my children and my husband. This morning I read the Conference Talk given by Elder Neil L. Anderson in October 2011, entitled Children. What a sweet reminder that "the family is ordained of God. Families are central to our Heavenly Father's plan..." As I… Continue reading Children
Many people have ask how I made my pumpkin soup. To be honest, I am mainly a dump-in-what-I-can-to-come-close-to-the-recipe kind of cook. Thus, the following is as close as I can get to the recipe I made for... 4 tablespoons butter (I used Smart butter) 1 cup chopped onion 1 clove garlic, crushed 1-2 tablespoon Thai red curry… Continue reading Pumpkin soup
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more.” Melodie Beatty I know everyone and their dog is blogging about what they are thankful for this month... but just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean I should avoid making a list of what I am thankful for.

I love peach season! With the exception of bees. I don't like them much. This year we picked around 250 pounds. That was a blessing. The peach orchards have had a bad year. The spring in the valley was too wet and most peach growers have nothing on their trees. I have come to like… Continue reading Peaches!

I have scars all over my body. I have one scar on my left knee from a needle. As a child, I was crawling under a quilt my mother was working on and found the needle she had lost. It broke off. Years later, when my knee was x-rayed after a slide into home plate… Continue reading fading scars
This week I need to include that Hannah and McKay went on the Stake Pioneer trek. All of their belongings fit into a 5-gallon bucket and a dry bag. It rained a bit the first day, but cleared up and was sunny the next. Although I think they had some fun, they also claim they… Continue reading A week of Cheap Summer Fun
This week’s summer adventure included restocking the two fish tanks that take up space at my house. Sometimes I wonder at my own thinking. Seriously! Do you know how many fishies have swum through our house? But I cave… and children are happy. This time, however, I was determined to make the experience of owning… Continue reading Restocking Nemo
