Blogging again?

I can't believe how long its been since i have blogged. I think I am going to try to post from time to time even if I am the only one who looks at it

Family pictures were taking in Nov '12 for our Christmas card.

I love looking back at family pictures because of the memories it brings up.

Lucy was sick with 105 temp

Weston was sleep deprived and NOT happy

Everett was bribed with whatever he wanted

Chris was forced but was a good sport

I was stressed to the max

was it worth it? YES always worth it.

I love looking back at family photos.

It amazes me that we have gone from single to married to 1 kid to now 4.

I sure love my family.

Dirty Laundry

Laundry is not my best friend. I always wait too long to do it then spend two days getting it all done. My friend, Cara showed me how to make homemade laundry soap and we love it! You can find step by step instruction on her blog.

I am on my second batch and really like it!

Its so easy to make! A year supply is only $13 big ones. Got to love that!!

Try it! You will like it, too!

(TV works as the babysitter on laundry days)

The kids loved helping!

Phew its all done! Now I need to get it put away!

ps. I loved the RS broadcast this year. I loved this talk

And this was my favorite quote from President Monson's talk

" Tonight I’d like to share with you a few thoughts concerning how we view each other. Are we looking through a window which needs cleaning? Are we making judgments when we don’t have all the facts? What do we see when we look at others? What judgments do we make about them? Said the Savior, “Judge not.”1 He continued, “Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”2 Or, to paraphrase, why beholdest thou what you think is dirty laundry at your neighbor’s house but considerest not the soiled window in your own house? None of us is perfect. I know of no one who would profess to be so. And yet for some reason, despite our own imperfections, we have a tendency to point out those of others. We make judgments concerning their actions or inactions. There is really no way we can know the heart, the intentions, or the circumstances of someone who might say or do something we find reason to criticize. Thus the commandment: “Judge not.”

Letters to daddy

Dear Daddy,

You were gone for 2 whole weeks and we missed you. Mom thought it would be cute to dress us up like you and play in your truck. We had fun! Missed you Daddy!!
