April Haircuts, Block Parties & Birthdays!

You know when you think your child finally understands something (like using scissors on hair) and then you wake up to this?

Conference with Thomas

This April conference I had the opportunity to take this young man to General Conference. One of the benefits to having older brothers is they tell their younger siblings all about what they are going to do and how mom is a different person on this trip. This would also be Thomas' first airplane ride. 

Here we are at the airport:

March Family Madness!

March is a really busy month for our family. It starts with our anniversary. We throw in a lot of family birthdays, Spring Break and end with my birthday. It makes for a full month! Here are some of our highlights:

John and I celebrated 19 years this year. We were able to visit the Phoenix temple and do some sealings. The highlight was being able to sit in the celestial room for a long time and just talk.

January & February 2015

I started a new herbal protocol on January 3rd. It has been not the greatest of months for me. However, I did want to blog while I still remember most of it.

Rebecca is a REALLY smart little girl. We were at Costco, and she said, "MOM! Look at these steps!" She then ran over to the toilet paper and noticed that they looked just like...steps. I had to draw the line at climbing them however. 

Thomas' Baptism Day 1/3/15

Thomas was very excited to get baptized. He had his interview with the Bishop just after his birthday. He barely slept the night before! Then...he woke up and said he did not feel well. Within 30 minutes, he had an excruciating earache. Aunt Kathryn was here and helped to comfort him. 

December: Weekend getaway, Christmas & Fun!

So one night Thomas was up late. The next morning, he woke up and his hair did not look right. Apparently he thought it was getting too long, so he cut it. 

Great to be 8!

Thomas turned 8 on December 20th! This guy has been a blessing to have in our home!

November Blessings!

November was full of scout campouts, family reunions, Battle of the Books, reports and lots of fun! Not to mention Thanksgiving. Here is how our November went:

Taylor completed his first competition for Battle of the Books. John was able to make it since I was unable to. 

October Blur...

This picture is how I felt pretty much the entire October. We had general conference, fall break, Arizona State Fair, Temple Open House, Halloween and a lot more! Here is pretty much our month.
