Close only counts in...

horse shoes and hand grenades. Sorry this is more of a complaint and it shouldn't be because I am grateful it hasn't happened more! I was so close to making it a whole pregnancy with out loosing my cookies once. That came to an end tonight though. I don't even know why. I was feeling great and had just enjoyed dinner. I am going to blame my prenatal vitamin that I took not to long before I finished dinner. Those things tend to get the best of me sometimes. Sorry this is more than I am sure anyone reading this blog wants to know but I am rather bummed about it.

I mean I really have easy pregnancies, where it is just waiting till the done timer chimes. ( knock on wood.) I am nauseous in the first trimester and might visit the porcelain throne once or twice but nothing like my mom or some of my cousins. I am pretty good after that. I managed to make it through that time just nauseous this third time and had even evaded the stomach flu bug that the girls have gotten a couple of times.

I guess this is just a reminder to me that I am really really blessed when it comes to feeling well during pregnancy. If I was one to have this happen a lot I am sure I would have a definite number of kids I was willing to have. And no I don't know how many kids I want to have. We are taking them one at a time, (at least so far) and will go from there. I think I have just always thought that I will know when I can't handle any more or that we have all the ones that are suppose to come to us. We'll see.

L is for the way...

I watched this video and it sealed the deal on this post. I have all sorts of things I could write about, but this has been at the front of my mind for a while. I have really been affected this past year by the divorces of two different couples I know. Not that, I haven't known any one before that has gotten divorced. These have just hit closer to home. One of them is Glen's boss, and Glen has worked with him lately. (This is not the norm. He can go months with out seeing him. He just goes in to work, sees what he's doing that night and goes out.) In working with him, they have talked about stuff and something he said to Glen has really made me think. I wasn't there but it was something to the extent of, "You guys are so lucky, because you love each other, just really love each other." My first thought to this was- yes, yes we do. Then I thought how sad that he and not every married couple have that. The just of all of this rambling is that I love my ...

My cup with blessings overflows

I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many. Being home to attend church with our ward. Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well. They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life. A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now! Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player. Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part. Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard. Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team. Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down. The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
