Why this blog...

I am the mother of the three most talented, intelligent and beautiful children ever to live on this earth. I am also privileged to be married to the most wonderful man! He has added three additional talented, intelligent and beautiful children to our family! I have a job that I mostly love, a wonderful education, a beautiful home, marvelous family, and I have the privilege of belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been greatly blessed in my life, but I sometimes forget that. So, I decided to create this blog as a way to remind myself of all the many blessings and miracles that surround me. (I'm also terrible at keeping a journal- so this will be something for my kids to enjoy as well.)

I hope you enjoy what you read. I would love to hear what you think!

My Friends, My Heroes!


First, I haven't posted for a while due to an even busier schedule than usual... starting at a new school (me), moving Charly into college, finishing Charly's tie quilt (pics to come), getting Jon ready for the 11th grade, and even more... been a crazy few weeks- but that's what makes life fun, right?!

Yesterday was a great day at church!!! Had so many thoughts I need to 'say'- so here are a few of my friends who are also my heroes (and if you are not on this list, it doesn't mean a thing, I promise!)

Sherie: One of the most joyful, giving people I know! Sherie and I have canned together, cleaned together, created sewing projects and helped to decorate for a wedding reception... Throughout everything, Sherie exudes happiness and cheer! She is so fun to be with! Many years ago, Sherie gave one of her kidneys to another neighbor in need. I know that she would have done this for any one of us! What an amazing woman!!! Recently, Sherie has had to battle breast cancer. All through this struggle, Sherie showed concern for others- she is my hero in so many ways!

Colette: I love her wry sense of humor! Colette has had struggles of her own, yet she truly cares about others around her. She is my definition of a true friend!

Charmaine: Such a sensitive and caring woman! Charmaine will always take the time to listen to me, and anything I need, she will be there to help- even mowing my lawn when my lawn mower was broken!

Ann: Has such a giving soul! She truly does help bring our neighborhood together! Ann has not only been there for me, but she has been and will continue to be a strong example for my daughter- an example of being a wife and a mother! For that, Ann will always be my hero!

Tracy and Shauna: best two people ever! They have opened their lives and their hearts first to my children, and now to me... we are so grateful to have more family!!!



Ardis: My favorite sis!!! She is so cheerful and so organized... and Ardis is the 2nd mom to my kids!! So many times when my kids needed someone to talk to (especially as teens), Ardis has been available!!! (and she lets Charly do dates at her home, with her kids there, too.) She may be my little sis, but Ardis is my hero!!!

I am so blessed to have these people and so many more as my friends!

  1. Aw, thank you. I miss seeing everyone so much. And I simply refuse to believe that Charly is at college. No way! Hope the new job is going well for you!!! :)
