About Me

I am the mama to 5 awesome children...4 boys and 1 daughter. My sons keep me on the floor with laughter, my daughter through the roof with pride. I am Lucky 7 because there are 7 in our family. And two beautiful daughter-in-laws. Of course I should mention I really have 5 boys. My husband being all of the above, and then some. We'll call him Odie. He earned that prideful name in the mission field while serving in the Hermasillo (?) Mexico mission. The name still remains with him. He's the love of my life and mine for time and all eternity. That's the fact part. There are days when I wonder if time will do just fine. (jk)

My baby turned 16 this year! Not cool. He is the sunshine of my life and I guess the reason I'm on the run so much. I decorated gramps car that day (yes he does have his own car to drive now) and took it to the high school and parked it. Can't imagine why he went the other way when he saw it. (see pictures above) I texted him and told him when school was out to come and find his car. I was sitting out there so excited and proud of what I had done to it. Really thought I would surprise him. 15 minutes later I'm still sitting there. I call him. He's home. He basically saw it and walked home. So yea, not so cool. He plays soccer for Timpanogos and also for the Yellowjackets. He's a little bit country, and alot of rock and roll. Can't imagine my life without him. Go T-Wolves!

What can I say!

At the end of the day....

I am always grateful that there is an end to a day. Sometimes when difficult things come your way, you say your prayers, you brush your teeth, and you try to sleep. If sleep comes to you you're even more blessed. This is actually my first day at attempting something like this. We are with dear friends on this wonderful INDEPENDENCE DAY and have enjoyed company with the likes of you guessed it....Miley Cyrus!! And the fireworks were unbelievable. It's days like this when you are grateful for your Country, grateful for your freedom, and grateful for friends and family to share it with. We are so blessed and I feel that we will always be 'home' as long as we surround ourselves with both. So as this day is almost over (literally) I hope I can maybe inspire someone else to be better and do better. What more could you ask for. G'night!
