I Loved Today

I LOVED TODAY and I will tell you why...

1. Ellie was happy ALL DAY LONG. She gave me kisses and hugs and she let me put her hair in piggy buns and she left them in. She let me cut her toenails. She walked with me to pick up Sadie from her class. She was good to her brother, she laughed, and smiled, and made happy sounds... all day long.

2. I found another bird in the house and I got it out. Say it with me... CABIN!

3. We bought more Pirate's Booty. Have you ever had Pirate Booty? You should, especially because it is so fun to say.

Sadie: Mom, can I have Pirate Booty in my lunch?

Me: Yes, Sadie, you can have Pirate Booty in your lunch. Did you want Pirate Booty for your snack as well?

Sadie: Yes mom, I want Pirate Booty for my snack too.

How much less interesting would that conversation be if say, it was about raisins? Pirate's Booty is sold at your local Costco.

4. I got a brownie mix at Costco. Now I can make the yummy brownies that we had the other night at Ellisons. I have been daydreaming about those brownies. Also, I am going to make some for my neighbors as a thank you for the other day.

5. I prayed that Sawyer would take a really long nap today so that I could get some boxes unpacked, especially since I have had to go run stupid Army errands for two days in a row, and guess what!?! Sawyer napped for over two hours. He is normally about a 45 minute guy. Prayers are answered. By the way, he was adorable before and after his nap and the whole rest of the day. Even right before he went to sleep, when he dropped his binky down between the top of my bed and the wall. He was laughing. If anyone knows the huge giant wood thing that is my bed you will know that before I go to sleep tonight I am going to have to go search the house for another binky.

By the way, the shirt that Ellyn is wearing is from her daddy and Sadie got one too and they were so stinking cute and bright and colorful today that I couldn't help but be happy.

Good Night.

You'll definitely have to give me instructions on the bird thing!!!

The Pirate Booty looks pretty alluring too!

Wish I could have been there instead of walking on plastic all over the house!!!

Love,

2018 and Another Go!

By
For almost three years I have been thinking how very sad it is that I hadn't continued to keep a journal of our family activities.  No more deployment letters and emails to Mike, no more family blog to keep grandparents and aunts and uncles connected to our family.  Nothing but printed off monthly calendars saved in a file somewhere.  I guess our family blog died a slow death when we lived in Washington and we were seeing everyone all of the time.  It just was not important to keep everyone informed.  They were right there with us.  I did not stop, in all the chaos, to think how very important the blog might be to me, or to my children.  I have often thought of the cute pictures and quotes we had saved on our family blog.  I thought of the interviews I did with the kiddos, and how grateful I was that, somewhere, on a dusty webpage, those beautiful faces, those funny antics, still existed.  I have checked to make sure the blog still existed fr...

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

By
My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

November 7, 2020, My Beautiful and Wise Daughter, Jane. I can breathe again. I won't be going to bed with my stomach in knots and my whole body feeling tight. I won’t be listening to a President who gains momentum by tearing others down. I won’t be going to sleep worrying that my children won’t have clean water to drink or clean air to breathe. I won’t be going to sleep thinking about the horrific experiences of children being torn from their mother’s and father’s arms because they were seeking refuge. I won’t be living in fear of the rapidly-growing racist attitudes and prejudice—that someday harm would come upon my baby that I have now and my future children. That my sister and my cousin and others that I love won’t be stripped of their rights and feel like they are any less of a human being than the rest of us. If this election wasn’t going to change anything for you and if you didn’t see the harm that Trump was causing, that is great and I’m sincerely glad that you have that p...
