Some of you have followed our tragic story involving felony charges against Sarah and know that this step was necessary for the girls to be able to heal from all their trauma over the past nearly 10 […]
family Tender Mercy  Last week I had the most incredible experience of my real estate career. I had a darling new listing in Eagle Mountain and was getting a ton of traffic! I received a call from a Central Utah agent asking about getting her son through the home. We scheduled a time and she asked for the […]
family Fear is a Liar! Likely my longest post ever. I rarely do religious posts, but in a time of such uncertaintly, feel it might be appropriate. If religion is not your thing, feel free to move on. My faith is such a part of who I am there is no avoiding it…..In November my ex-daughter-in-law was charged with felony […]
adopted SO Grateful – We Have Our Miracle! I am sitting here with tears running down my face! I am SO grateful today! Jonathon has received full custody of his girls today!

family THE ENTIRE LIST OF EDUCATION COMPANIES OFFERING FREE SUBSCRIPTIONS DUE TO SCHOOL CLOSINGS I have never shared someone else’s blogpost on my blog before, but with schools closing around the states, I hoped it would be a helpful resource to all those moms needing to home-school for a bit.I am sincerely hoping that we will use this time to refocus on family and those things that are most […]
family Prayers Greatly Appreciated Since this has hit the newspapers I guess it is okay to share a small part of our story with you. I have been afraid to say anything at all.https://www.deseret.com/utah/2019/12/10/21005176/orem-mom-was-too-drunk-to-care-for-kids-police-sayThis story is not entirely correct, but gives enough detail for you to realize the hell we have been going through this past year. This is […]
family Good-Bye 2019 Us waiting for the Piano Guys Christmas concert – Happy 39 years to us! I didn’t send Christmas cards this year – a first for me in as long as I can remember!

family Happy Birthday to the Best Husband on the Planet! Our 37th Anniversary was Dec 30th. We had been remodeling our basement (new flooring, painted the ceiling and remodeled the bathroom), so I let it slip by without a word.  Sunday is my husband’s birthday and I just HAVE to say how amazing he is. For 37 years – most of his life – he […]

adopted COURAGE Courage has taken many forms and worn many faces over the years.  We have stared death in the face 3 times with 2 of our sons, struggled through a job loss, moved 7 times, sent all three boys on 2-year missions, struggled with my health (involving multiple surgeries and lots of diagnoses that were very […]
antiques Basement Re-Do! So, after 5 years of living in my basement, my youngest son moved out (We have literally had someone living in our basement for nearly 12 years now between all 3 of our boys).  This called for a bit of “retail therapy” as I sprang into action to “reclaim” my space.  Pics are not great, […]
family The Thing We Never Talk About-W.O.R.K. In Marriage David and I just celebrated 33 years of marriage.  Over the years we have had lots of people comment about how we are the “perfect couple” and “so lucky”.  While I will admit A.) we are not perfect and B.) we have been very “lucky” and incredibly blessed, the one thing we never seem to […]
christmas Advent Calendar So, my pics are not very good, but I whipped up this advent calendar for a “Secret Santa” family with stuff I already had on hand.  We had an advent calendar growing up and it brings back fond memories.  I hope it will be fun for them too.  Each pocket is filled with treats for […]
family I Wanna Be THAT Girl! I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the people in my life that have helped my become, overcome, and learn to fly.  We are each made up of so many different experiences and share many relationships – all those things contribute to who we are today and some leave a lasting impression and make us […]
family Random Pics From May Here are a few random pics from May: Izze on her “little” slide Izze being ridiculous! Where there’s a will, there’s a way!  Don’t know if you can see it, but the tree is in the back seat of the car and the window is down with the top of the tree sticking out the […]
family On A Personal Note Every once in a while we have an experience that changes us forever.  My husband works with a guy whose wife has been diagnosed with Alzheimers.  They have been struggling for over a year now with all of the things that go along with that.  Sadly, he has recently had to put her in a […]
family Our Beautiful Family So when the whole fam was together (which does not happen nearly enough!) we had family pics taken.  Below are some of the moments captured that day (in the order I took them off the disc).  Sure do love my beautiful family! Ashley and Briley Crew and Briley Son Brian and his family Brian and […]
adopted Together Forever! So I am super bummed that things were so chaotic and we did not get any “family pics” while we were all at the temple.  Also, if the expression of my religious beliefs is not of interest to you – just look at pics and avoid the text…  It is NOT my intention to shove […]
family More of My Beautiful Family So I took my brand-new camera and snapped a few photos while our photographer was busy snapping family pics.  LOVE my grand-kids and feel so grateful for each one of them!  Our photographer’s pics have not been received yet, but here is my lame attempt to get a few shots of my very favorite people […]
family Grand-kid Sleep-Over We have started a new “tradition” at our house – the grandma and papa slumber party.  We have 6 grand-kids now and rarely get them all together since 5 of the 6 live out of state, BUT when we do we have at least one night where they all come and spend the night together. […]
family My Fam I recently had my grand-kids – all 6 of them – together at my house!  It was a crazy, happy, noisy week and we loved having them visit!  These pics are taken at the park near our home and also in our back yard.  The kids are finally old enough to really enjoy being together […]
