It's still February, but just a few more days

We spent the last weekend in Sugar City.  Kent had a presentation at BYUI's Book of Mormon symposium, and if I can brag for a minute, he did awesome.  His presentation was on covenant keeping families in the Book of Mormon, the Anti-Nephi-Lehi's.  I don't get an opportunity to see (or should I say hear) him speak, and I am always so impressed.  He really is a good speaker, and I can't deny he knows his stuff.  Hope that's not too boastful.

While at Gram and Gramps house, D had lots of fun playing with new toys.  One of his favorites was this play cash register.  As you can see he worked hard to get all the right buttons.   



Here is a pic of K and Gram and Gramps.   Getting a picture of all of them looking forward was kind of hard.  



This has been one long, cold winter.  To occupy my time, I have been dabbling in wire wrapping jewelry.  Here are a few of my latest "pieces".  The first one was made out of a beautiful turquoise stone I found on clearance, and I wrapped the wire to make all the other parts.  


I made this one for the sweet babysitter who watched our kids (for free) during Kent's presentation.  I hope she like's it.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
