Someone in my ward was getting rid of some old food storage (old not bad) that needed to be put to use. For the longest time I have been wanting to make bread. I just wanted to know I could do it in case the time ever come that I was required to do it. Besides that, I love to buy those rustic looking rounds from Liberty Heights Fresh. They are fabulous!!So last Sunday I tried. I looked up a

Bea was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on February 6th. It was a happy day for our family. She is the last member of our immediate family to be baptized. It seems so odd that we are done with that part of our life already. We were not just blessing the kids as babies?Bea was baptized by her Dad. She was also given the gift of the Holy Ghost by her Dad. In

What a slacker I am! Let's see, what could have happened in August that has brought my life to a screeching halt. Oh yea. At the last minute (two weeks before school) I became PTA President at the kids elementary, Hawthorne. I had avoided the position, knowing I did need to have a turn, but it finally came to me. I am just grateful I have all these wonderful ladies on my board who do excellent at

So Everitt may look just like JP, but Bea is the child of his soul. Bea is hilarious like her father (think the Magna or Bishopric blues). Sometimes it is hard to get mad at her because I am laughing to hard to discipline her. Her pre-K teacher once told me she had a very dry wit and understood many of the jokes she and the other teachers shared (think any conversation JP has with Jeff or Dave).

My nephew Collin supposedly loves his Uncle JP. He asks about him at home and requested a picture of him to be put on the "cousins" picture board.However when ever Collin visits or we have some Casey function, Collin clings to his Mom and Dad and wide eyed with fear avoids JP at all costs. He said our dinner prayer tonight and the whole time stared JP down to make sure he was not going to make

I have made an effort to make reading a part of every day summer life this season. It has become a favorite thing to do now that the hammock is up.

I canned cherries this year! They are so beautiful! To bad there are grubs in them every where! First canning lesson learned. Pick the fruit, can the fruit. Don't wait a week in between.

JP is sacked out on the couch right now. I would take a picture of him if I didn't think he would be totally disgusted with me for disturbing his drug induced peace. He had two wisdom teeth removed today. I know that is normally a pre-mission sort of thing, but JP has very slow developing teeth. (Every thing else developed on him just fine!) So since there was really no need to pull his wisdom

When I was younger I loved the fall! It was my favorite season, then came winter!! Spring and summer where no big deal. Now however after what now seems like the long months of winter I am so ready for spring! I am ready to be warm! I am ready to have late night conversations with my friends on the front porch. I am ready to fix my front yard (which has been a seven year project). Maybe it has

I heard from my friend Doug Thomas today. We went to high school together. This e-mail came from Shantel Matagi, to Cade Meier to Doug to me, we all went Cyprus High in Magna, Utah. It was about another pair of classmates Julie Johnson and Brandon Stout who are now married and the parents of four children. Julie is in the last stages of cancer. I knew she was sick. I had seen her in church while

The Salt Lake Marathon goes right past our house. We are usually mile 22. This year we were roughly mile 21 and a half. After the first couple of years we decided to throw a neighborhood party. We live in a great neighborhood, and we wanted to get to know people better. It was our fourth party this year. I was a little behind the ball in handing out invitations (like the night before) but we had

I just have to take a moment to brag about my boy Everitt. He is the best helper, most reliable, kindest boy (and only) I have! He really struggles with school and sometimes I worry about what the future holds for him. But then I think about his qualities. He is an extremely hard worker, he does what is asked of him, and he is reliable. He is also very kind. He always is asking if I need help

JP and I celebrate our wedding anniversary around conference time. JP has always been good about our anniversary, he always remembers, he always makes it special. Me? Not so good. I booked a show for Ladies Night Out at Ace Hardware in Bountiful this year with out even thinking. Poor JP! Scrapbook USA was on his birthday and now I was doing another show on our wedding anniversary....Saturday

My Dad was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. I have cousins who live in Ireland. I celebrate my birthday with my twin close to St. Patrick's Day. My girls are now official Irish step dancers. So even though I have work, trials, and a full platter in March, we always have to take time to party with the Irish during Salt Lake City's St. Patrick's Day parade. We have attended the parade since I

Given-The Monday after Scrapbook USA, we held a bridal shower for Bea's teacher Emilie Hales. She is great! Bea just adores her. When Miss Hales announced that she was getting married to her students Bea came home convinced that she would be a flower girl. I had to nip that in the bud (no pun intended) pretty quick. But I asked her if she wanted to do a bridal shower. Bea "planned" it for a month

March was also full of trials.I was sick for most of March. The kids were too. It hit the day before Scrapbook USA and just cleared up. It was a cough and a cold. I really needed to lie down for a few days, but just did not get that option. Working for yourself has perks, but one detraction is their is no such thing as a sick day.It did bring up an interesting moral question. I was sick for

One of the reasons March was madness was because of work. I was at a three shows for LDSscrap in March, one in St. George, Bountiful, and Sandy. I usually only do two shows a year. It has been good for business, but a little bit hard on the family. Weekend time is my time to clean the house and be a full time mother. Luckily JP could stand in for the parent part. I actually think that part has

March was beyond full and crazy. Instead of writing a long post (that no one will read through anyway) I am going to break it up. That way you can check out what you want and ignore the rest. (Because if we are honest with ourselves, no one wants to know bout every aspect of our life. Even though we may want to share it.)

I am in St. George for work, LDSscrap is exhibiting at a family history show. Most of the people (not all) at the show today were older and obviously retired. There was lots of white hair. I also saw two women who were going through some type of cancer treatment, bandanas on their head and all. And I realized that I am still heartbroken.I miss my grandparents so badly. I so wish for my grandpa to

My daughter Bea exclaimed that to a friend this week. We were in the car driving to Grandma Lingwall's for our Tuesday lunch. I had all the kids and a friend because school was out. We had just picked up Hires (yum) Grandma is happier with more anyways, and Hires.I was so happy to hear Bea say that though.

My platter is way full! In fact it is overflowing and things are falling off !! I have come to the conclusion that I can not function if my platter is not full. It has been that way since jr. high. The more I have to do the happier I am. I am not the best at all I do, but I try my best to do all I can do. Which may not be a smart thing. If I was not doing so much maybe I would be the best at what
