Summer Nights

 A perfect spot for summer nights. Perfect for family conversations, Come Follow Me, and movie nights. The other night we all took turns confessing something that our parents didn’t know. Tonight, after Come Follow Me, the discussion took a twisted turn of which parent you love more, and who you’d want a piano to fall on...(thanks Jimmy Kimmel)🙄 I don’t understand!! We get points for family time though, right?

Father's Day 2020

 They are your 6 favorite humans (7 including Angel, they all know she’s the favorite). I have watched you teach them:

Hard work
Faith
To build
To grow
Adventure
Fun
Dedication
Patience(your kind of patience 😉)
Love
Forgiveness
Overcoming
Service

I’ve watched each baby placed in your arms. I’ve watched you feed, bathe, change, teach, and play. I’ve watched you learn and grow from each one. It’s been beautiful to watch the last 22 years! Thanks for taking me along for the ride! Happy Father’s Day, Dustin!!

Luau and Flamingos

 We celebrated Rachel's birthday tonight! Shawn held a big luau in their backyard.  So many friends in our little spot of this world!!  I love that we are all close and can count on one another.

Kate Goes To Work

 


All my kids have worked at McDonald's. I'ts their first job. They start as soon as they turn 16. Kate is no different. I"ve told them all to wake up early and work early. Then, you have the rest of the day to do what you want.  She gets up before the sun to go work hard and earn some money. My kids are such hard workers. I’m grateful for that. I love them. All of them!

It's Natural

 I went back to my natural hair color. It's so dark, but I'm getting used to it. I loved having the highlights, but it was so hard on my hair. I remeber when I told my friend to color my hair, she touched it and got excited! "You have virgin hair!"  I love my hair. I feel it's one of my best features. It was scary to do anything to it. I think eventually I'll go back to highlights, but for now, it feels good to just be the color I have been given from my parents, who also had awesome hair!
