Today


I have one final week of summer.

However, most of the week will be taken up making final preparations for the school year to begin. At times I am giddy with excitement as I think about teaching. At other times I feel sheer panic. I’m sure the year will be full of both excitement and pure panic!

This summer has been full of fun and amazing experiences. The kids have been busy attending summer camps, band camps, orchestra, EFY, and youth conference. One of these days I will actually get the time to unload the pictures from the camera.

Today my Young Women spoke in sacrament. They are awesome, amazing, and totally the best!

It was  announced that next year the youth will be participating in Trek. Oh Boy! A week of living like a pioneer. Anyone got a bonnet I can borrow?

It is amazing how the months have passed in a heartbeat. Now football has started and the school year is moments away. This year is going to be an exciting one.

The kids are all registered for school. Junior High and High School fees were $550.00. Good thing we have “free” education.

Wish us luck!

I have not written on this blog for months. Blogher is cancelling my ads. This makes me kind of sad I have met a ton of people through Blogher. However, I really don’t blame them.

One of the reasons I haven’t written I hate the new blogger-editing layout. Hate is kind of a strong word but you know what I mean.

I love the scripture on my blog. I need to remember that a smile is worth a thousand words.


I need to go to bed.


Have an excellent night everyone.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...
