How we roll

Some much needed updates

These are pictures from February that I saved as a blog draft but haven't gotten around to posting. I've been busy going in several directions lately (let's see, trying to get ready to sell a house, obsessing over a new floor plan that I will love FOREVER, working part time at LDSFS, starting a Skinny Wrap business, and mothering 4 children...doesn't leave me much time or desire to blog!) but I need to catch up. These are just some moments of our lives that are funny and special. At my house this is the kind of stuff you see on a regular basis, and I love it.


Who in their right mind would trust Dale at the wheel???
Daisy is always good for a ride, but with Dale driving she needs a seat belt. He loves to swerve side to side violently and she has tumbled out several times. Pretty sure not all of those were accidents on Dale's part either....

One of our lambs gave birth in February. I had been hypothesizing that she was pregnant, but still thought we had an other month. One COLD February morning I found this sweet thing out in the pasture, her mother hovering near. I don't know whether she died shortly after birth from exposure or if she was stillborn, but we were sad to lose her. She was so cute.



We saw Dale doing his own thing out in the yard, driving around with the batman cape/mask. He wouldn't talk or acknowledge us when we went out there, he just wanted to drive.



Love this kid!

Not to mention Daisy loves rides with her big brother. I love to watch them. Makes me think of this little girl riding in front of her big brother on his motorcycle (me and Don)


I hope she always loves Brighton as much as she does now, and he her. They adore each other, and I am blessed.

Daisy's baptism day

Today Daisy was baptized by her big brother Brighton. My mom and Adaira got to be the witnesses, grandma Joanna gave the talk on the Holy Ghost, and Dale gave the closing prayer (after Dad has to rush during the closing song to help him put back on his tie and button up his shirt. Brighton was the pianist except for Adaira who played "When I am Baptized" for a special musical number. (A set of twins from another family was also baptized and their kids sang and played the violin). Here is what she has to say about her special day: I felt happy and felt the Holy Ghost. The water was a little cold. At first I was nervous but now I'm happy. I was excited to be baptized and I want to be a kind member of the church. My dad, grandpa Dean and grandpa Dale, great Uncle Dale, uncles Trent, Dean, Don, Duane and David confirmed me. Dad blessed me to seek a testimony of Jesus Christ and of Joseph Smith. He asked her to find quiet times in her life away from screens and devices to be...

  Memorial Day A couple months ago I told Justin that we should take our kids and both sets of grandparents to the Mesa City Cemetery and tell our kids stories about our family members buried there. I thought it would make a good Sunday or Family Home Evening activity.  I want my children to identify with their ancestors and feel like they can learn from them. I especially want them to feel like they can develop some of the same good qualities or avoid some of the poor ones. They had also never been to a cemetery so it would be a new experience for them. Justin and I never got around to organizing it until today. Justin's mom was planning a lunch BBQ and swimming for Memorial Day and told me she was thinking of inviting my parents and asked about time preferences since she was thinking of doing it around dinner time. The idea of the cemetery popped into my head and I mentioned that I thought it would be neat to do the BBQ earlier in the day and then take everyone out to the...
