At the beginning of November my mother-in-law called and asked if we could host the big Wadsworth Thanksgiving dinner at our house this year. Now that our new addition is done and the living room was expanded earlier this year we have room! Wadsworth gatherings are HUGE. Joseph is one of 10 kids and this […]
Time Slides Away
Oh sweet Henry boy. How did the time just slide away? I want to cradle you in my arms forever stroking your soft hair as we gaze into each other’s eyes. But you have other plans. Mostly. You insist on getting bigger. Learning some words like “bottle” and “shoes” and “mom, mom” while still getting […]

Pink Eye Stink Eye
Jason has pink eye. I knew my luck would run out sometime. Up until now only one of my children has ever gotten pink eye. One! She was eleven and really good about not touching anyone so it didn’t spread. Now it’s a waiting game. Jason is three. And also very smart. Which works against […]
Thea Rose’s Blessing Day
Thea Rose was blessed on Sept. 11, 2016. It was the 15th anniversary of the attacks of 9/11 and here we were celebrating this new precious life. It’s interesting how time marches on. Things change, circumstances change, and yet we adapt. Thea wore the same dress that Eve wore on her blessing day almost 21 […]
Five Generations of Women
Meet little Thea. I know you have already met her but meet her again! Isn’t she just darling? The mitochondrial DNA she carries has been passed down from mother to daughter for thousands of years. But that is not all that links us together. Thea has now become part of a long-line of faith filled […]
Just Go With the Flow
Our 18th year of homeschool officially started on Monday! And it definitely didn’t go as planned. But that’s okay. If motherhood and homeschooling have taught me anything it is to just go with the flow. We do have a schedule set up but we are also still farming, getting in our fourth crop of hay. When […]

Kindness of Strangers and Marie’s Mission
Even though we have a blog for Marie’s mission to England I feel I should share here a little of what she has been doing. I also need to share the small tender mercies from the kindness of strangers.

Alba Family Reunion 2016
Some people don’t enjoy family reunions but I do! My mom’s side of the family was having a reunion on Friday and Saturday. We were only able to stay for the first day but it was so fun to see relatives I hadn’t seen in over 25 years! The reunion was for all the descendants […]
Visiting This is the Place Heritage Park
Pioneers abound in our family. We have pioneers that crossed the plains in 1847 and others that crossed later in the 1850s and 1860s. You know how big we are on family history! I have been wanting to take my kids to This is the Place Heritage Park for years. I remember going as a […]
Visiting Hogle Zoo
We made a quick trip to Utah last week and were able to pack in some really fun outings while there. Hogle Zoo was the first stop. Jason is really into lions. He loves them! I told him we would take him to the zoo so he could see some. He replied by […]
When Your Baby Stops Nursing
It was Monday morning. June 6th to be exact. I sat down to watch some morning news and nurse baby Henry. Little did I know in that moment it would be the last time he would nurse. And I am sad. It’s marks the end of an era in my life. Twenty years of nursing […]
