SIX!



  I may have mentioned this before, but when I married Russ I said that we needed to have boys so the world could be graced with more good men like him. I am confident that Taevin will fulfill that need. He was a good baby, he is a good kid, I anticipate that he will be a good teenager, and eventually a great man.
  My sweet Taevin turned six yesterday... SIX! Where has the time gone? Wasn't it just last week when we were going 30 mph on the freeway on our way home from the hospital with our new little bundle of joy? Yet I can't remember what life was like without him, funny how that works.
  We had a great party with a magician (http://www.utahmagic.com/) and tons of presents, food and friends, and seeing how happy he was made all of the planning and every penny we spent worth it.
  All three of my children are so precious and wonderful in different ways, but Taevin is the one who has so patiently allowed himself to be the "guinea pig" as I learn how to be a good parent. In all honesty, a monkey could probably raise Taevin and get a pretty good outcome so I can't pat myself on the back too much for his good temperament, it just comes naturally to him.
  There is always something special about your first child, and with Taevin being so much like his daddy, we have always connected. I get him, and he gets me, he has stolen his mommy's heart and I'm sure I won't be the only girl who adores him. I feel so blessed to have this little man who can brighten my whole day with his infectious smile. Happy birthday Taevin!

Surprise!

  Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and it usually happens just when you think you've got things figured out.    Way back when I was praying about having a third child, the number 4 kept coming to me. I laughed and told God that He would need to send twins to get Russ to agree to that number, so part of me was a little apprehensive going into our first ultrasound with Z, but alas there was only one of her so I kind of forgot about the number and moved forward... until that day when the number came back.  Zoey wasn't even a year yet and the feeling came, there was one more. Russ did not feel the same but I used every bit of convincing power within myself, and after many arguments and discussions, he buckled. He gave me 3 months to get pregnant, if it didn't happen he would get his vasectomy. I gladly took what he was willing to give and trusted that God would send this baby that He had promised within the conditions Russ had reluctantly agr...

Gains and losses

    2024 was a lot. Truthfully, I’m not even sure where to start, but it has been a whirlwind.   I suppose it would be best to start with my gains, most importantly I gained a daughter-in-law! In my last post, I mentioned Hayley, The love of Taevin‘s life. They spent the first year of Taevin‘s college experience in Cedar city together, But as their relationship progressed, and there was talk of marriage, they decided to come home and make those future plans a priority. It was fun having Taevin home from college, for the first month or two he was so full of gratitude for the luxuries of home, I guess being on your own for a while makes you realize how good you have it when mom is around. Anyway, they came home at the end of April and Taevin started planning his proposal. Russ and I took him to a local jeweler who was fantastic! Instead of just creating one ring, he made three just for Taevin! He wanted to make sure everything was perfect and that Hayley was getting exactly...

2017 Update

  I think the older my kids get, the busier I get, and the less I remember it all. No joke, I'm sitting here scrolling through my calendar trying to figure what we've done all year. Thanks to old Facebook posts, I can give an update.   January- Taevin turned 12! My sweet little boy is growing up! 12 is a big number, he was ordained to the Aaronic priesthood on January 22nd by his dad, It was a fantastic experience. That week Russ & I took him to dinner then to the Bountiful temple to do baptisms for the dead for the first time, Ron had given us some family names to do, I loved being there with him and watching him help ancestors take their first step toward the gospel. The following week he passed the sacrament, he was so nervous but with plenty of help from his dad and some good friends he did great!    February- I turned 38. Nuff said. OK, there's actually more. My grandma went to Arizona to stay with my aunt DeAnn for about 3 weeks so while ...
