Counted
One. One little boy amidst seven girls. On Friday I drove most of the kids in to town for a Primary activity day. My son refused to get out of the van. “I just want to go with you, Mama.” I didn’t argue. We dropped off his oldest sister at the high school to take […]

Thanksgiving Silhouettes
Thanksgiving, when celebrated with Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s side of the family is never a small affair. We had 42 people for dinner with three families missing.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. A day to gather with friends and family, offering thanks for the bounteous blessings received throughout the year. Another reason it is one of my favorites is on November 28, 1985, Thanksgiving Day, one day after my eighth birthday, I was baptized. I love to reflect […]
Christmas Magic
The year was 1985. Our decorations were few, limited to a wooden tree that was placed on top the piano (that’s all I can remember anyway). As children we knew there wouldn’t be many gifts. There wasn’t enough money. But we were going back to Utah to be with grandparents, and uncles, and aunts, and […]

Sorry for the break in memory posts. The baby started throwing up early this morning so it has been a long day. Here is one of my most popular posts from back in 2008 to get you started on thinking about gratitude and service. Hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow with new reminiscences about Miami. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ […]
Christmas is coming!
Interrupting my scheduled personal history posts…. My kids were flipping through their scrapbooks the other day comparing what they all looked like as babies. We came upon some of our old Christmas cards. Boy have my kids grown! It’s really easy to see when comparing cards from year to year. I love sending and receiving […]

Story Paddle Boards
Many of our family home evening lessons have stories with pictures. Typically I would hold up a picture and tell the words to the story that went along with the picture. My sister-in-law came up with the idea of using a paddle board to hold the story using binder rings. She types up the words […]
