Alive. That's what we are. The past few weeks have been crazy.

Lilly was off of school for three weeks. They call this "off track" and it threw me off mine too. Who knew spending around 2 hours three times a week at a swimming pool would cause such upheaval and craziness. She's back at school now, much to her chagrin and things seem a little better schedule wise.

Glen is taking a GRE test prep class with his sister. It is good and what he needs to be doing right now but it makes for some long days. He's such a good man. I have come to realize that over and over again these last few weeks. I am a very blessed girl.

Daryl is growing like a weed. He's six months plus now and has doubled his birth weight. He has a great personality about him. People always ask me if he is as happy and pleasant as he seems to them and I get to answer yes! He's just so much fun! I'll have to video him laughing. It's one of my favorite things ever!

Lucy goes between being a big kid and a baby. She misses Lilly sorely while she's at school but is really good to help with Daryl. She reverts to baby talk far more than I would like her too though. She is patient and yet demanding of me, waiting for me to get done with some of my stuff but then capturing me to play with her till the timer goes off on her ipod-(she has several make believe ipods!) She also really wishes I would talk to the neighbor boys mom more so she could play at his house.

I am going and doing but I'm not always sure it is in the right direction or the right thing. I know I never have my house clean or organized enough. I don't mind that as much as Glen, the poor man, I just hope I'm actually helping or doing something for someone else. There is I guess you would call it "drama" going on around me. It's gut wrenching. I'm glad I'm not right in the middle of it,but the side lines aren't to fun either. I am learning and growing in ways I didn't expect though and am trying to absorb and change as I need too. It's never an easy thing though.

Ahh Kayci. I am sorry you have drama going on. That stinks. I hope everyone involved is okay! As cliche and cheesy (and preachy as it sounds) just remember none of us are ever alone!

A cheerful youngest child can make such a big difference. Yay for yours.

The mess can wait. People won't always wait. (And babies for sure don't wait!) I think you have your priorities straight. Yes! Please post a video of Daryl laughing. We can all use more of that in our lives.

Loves to all through this difficult time. I'm pulling for you and those in the middle of the drama from my end.

California here we come

July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

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....
