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!

Things that were august in August

This has by far been the most difficult start to a school year for me... so I thought I should focus on things that have been august in my life, seeing as how it is August after all!

august: inspiring reverence or admiration; of supreme dignity or grandeur; majestic



Claire:


So much to admire about this little beauty and her parents!

Luke and I were able to attend her blessing with many of our family. And Cassie was so wonderful to allow us grandparents (Luke and I ) to hold Claire for the ENTIRE meeting afterwards! (Luke and I were unable to attend the gathering after the meeting- so this was our only chance to spend time with Claire.) Claire was awake the whole time and was captivating. This grandmother ABSOLUTELY LOVED watching Grandpa Luke holding this precious child, playing with her arms and legs, and just plain being enamored of his granddaughter! 


Luke: 

He continues to be such a blessing in my life! He is always saying or doing just the right thing at the right moment... He truly cares for me and loves me!

Projects:

It is not so much the projects themselves that I find august- it is what they do for my state of mind and attitude that captures my admiration...

Working on a project calms me down, focuses my mind... finishing a project brings great satisfaction! 
Katy and Jeremy's blanket and pillowcases

Next jean quilt all laid out...

If all goes well, this will look great with my new sofa!
And it was free! Plus, there is nothing quite so relaxing
as removing furniture staples and tearing something apart!

Five batches of plum jelly- YUM!!!
So many good things in my life!
