Pure Delight!



Graham eating his favorite food... Spaghetti! While Daddy was gone this weekend on a scouting camp out Graham was my main man. We cuddled long and ate cookies and milk before bed! It was a treat for me to have him all to myself!

(Because when Marty is around he only has eyes for his Dad!)

Where's Graham?



On my freshly made bed!

Love for Feet



Hope everyone feels loved after Valentine's Day! My feet sure do! I'm walking around my house this morning in my new running shoes and can't believe how great my feet feel! It is probably not right to admit this, but I've had the same running shoes for 8 years! I've been trying to workout hard lately and my feet, knees and ankles were feeling the 8 years of wear and tear! But my dearest lover gave me these beauties for V-Day! I love you Marty!! (and so do my arches!)

A Sabbath Tale


Graham was so wild at church yesterday that I thought I should record this story for all woman-kind.


We have sacrament meeting last and Graham is always very tired after having a wonderful time in Nursery. We go and sit down, near the back of our small chapel. Our chapel is very unique because it is stadium seating- no benches and there is a bit of a decline from the back to the front. After we had already taken Graham out once and brought him back in again we let him just stand by the side of our row. He seemed to just want to look around and smile at people. But then I hear “3, 2, 1… go!” from Graham! Before I could even register he was half way down the aisle. I start walking quickly for him and he turns for the front. We both are colliding with the young men as they begin passing the sacrament and half way up the other side I catch him. I try and smile and hide the fact that I’m sweating and so embarrassed. So after all that I go into another room because he is kicking and screaming because he wants to run around. Towards the end of the meeting I ask him if he wants to go and sit by Daddy and draw. He says, “oh yes!” So I think we are good. As we are entering the chapel I’m looking for our seats and Graham scrambles out of my arms. He starts the “3,2,1 … go!” again. I lunge after him, because I’m not planning on running another lap, and I FALL in the aisle. It was awesome! I think I was so weak and tired from fasting that when I stepped forward to grab him I just collapsed. We went back in the hall and all I wanted to do was go home, but we went up to the Nursery and played while I calmed down and remember that Graham is darling and that he is just tired. We came home and put Graham to bed and I took a much-needed rest.

The End

Snack Time

We watched my parents dog, Max, while they were in Mexico last week. It was actually kind of fun, because Graham loved having a constant playmate. I'm in no way saying I want a dog, but I will doggy-sit when my parents travel and that means we will be seeing Max quite a bit!

Graham and Max would get on each others nerves at times... Max would still Graham's binky and Graham would smother Max with blanket, but I happened about an evening kitchen snack between the two!

Every boy should share a snack with his bud!
Don't you think?

Primary Post

In my old ward I was 2nd counselor in the Primary and after moving to my new ward I have the same exact calling, 2nd counselor in the Primary! It is great fun, but lots of work. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at times, but having fun doing projects, spotlights, primary CDs, birthday gifts and Sharing Times. This is my month, 4 weeks in a row, of Sharing Times. I just finished putting everything together for tomorrow, but I'm sitting here asking myself, "Why did you wait until Saturday night to do this?!" Do any of you wait until the last minute to finish off something you've know about for a month?! Probably not, but I can hope!

This is my vow that I will not finish next week's Sharing Time at 9pm on Saturday night.


p.s. Marty has been waiting for me to finish so we can watch a movie and he has happened about the old Disney musical, The Slipper and the Rose, on Youtube. He is over there laughing and saying, "Come look at what they are making these old guys do!" So funny!
