The week opened with SLEEP! Lilli and I were completely wiped out from the long haul of CET. However, that didn't stop us from tackling a couple projects throughout the week. First, John wrapped his visit to Utah on business with a visit with his sister and his parents. He only spent a few waking… Continue reading Summer!

Phew! I Made It to the End of the Whirlwind
Phew! Is right! This past week has been nuts! I hardly made it home... dishes piled up... I have no clean clothes... the weeds are taller than the tomatoes... the grass is unruly... there are no healthy foods in the house... That's right... this past week was the last LONG week of CET. I worked… Continue reading Phew! I Made It to the End of the Whirlwind
4 Weeks of CET down – One More to Go before the Summer Rush is over
Phew! Summer is moving along so fast, yet, in the middle of the week it feels long. This week has been so busy! Last Saturday, John, Lilli and I drove Bend for the Celebration of Life party for my Grandma White. We met Kimber and Ray there. They had fun "camping" on Grandma and Grandpa's… Continue reading 4 Weeks of CET down – One More to Go before the Summer Rush is over
Summer is Officially Here… CET Has Started
It is hard to believe that the end of June is here. I am realizing more and more that we aren't very good at taking time off and recreating. Our "recreation" revolves around work... or so it seems. Lilli and I spent time together working at the high school. She wanted to learn the sound… Continue reading Summer is Officially Here… CET Has Started
Finally… a Boring Week
Gosh. I wish I had pictures to show you our week... alas, I don't. But we were busy. This was the first real week of summer. I taught a bunch of voice lesson. Lilli slept until noon nearly every day. (Lucky girl). Lilli and I did some spring cleaning. We cleaned the front bathroom, the… Continue reading Finally… a Boring Week

Lilli went to help keep him awake. Other than being left at the mall during the… Continue reading Trucking into Summer
Journey to Be a Goodly Parent
Today I was studying 1 Nephi (a book I am very familiar with as I have read it multiple times). I was impressed with Nephi saying he was the son of "goodly parents." What made them "goodly?" I looked up "goodly" in the dictionary. Here are a few of the definitions I found: Of good… Continue reading Journey to Be a Goodly Parent
Blinded by the Week
It has been an odd week. On Sunday I fell coming home from church and hit my face hard on the street. I was a bit loopy and dizzy for a few days. I ended up bruising my cheek, loosening my teeth, and destroying my glasses. It was a long week without glasses. I can… Continue reading Blinded by the Week
What a week!

She taught class and helped withe picture day at the dance studio. Meanwhile, I worked at the school for the… Continue reading What a week!
Forget Kindergarten…. I learned it from Mom
Forget Kindergarten... I never went. Everything I learned about being a mom I learned from my mom. As a kid, I did my best to listen to her, watch her, and sometimes challenge her. As I started my own motherhood adventure I looked to what I learned from her about what real mothering was... what… Continue reading Forget Kindergarten…. I learned it from Mom
