Orthotics

We recently found out that Britain needs orthotics. Orthotics are implants that go into her shoes and help change the shape of the bones in her feet. Her bones are forming wrong which causes her to be flat footed and knock kneed. It is not a big deal now, but as she grows older her …

Eight is not enough

Yesterday, Melissa and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. It was a great day. We started off my doing sealings at the Provo Temple where Melissa almost fainted…again. I can’t remember a time when we have done sealings and she didn’t  faint. I even warned the sealer, so all of us were prepared. She was …

For after much tribulation come the blessings

On January 27th, that scripture in D&C was fulfilled in my life. For almost 15 years I have toiled with trying to help my family accept the Gospel. It has been difficult and very discouraging. I had finally told myself that if it was to happen that it would probably be a long time from …

The Power of Setting Goals

I don’t think that I have ever set New Year’s Resolutions- EVER! I have thought about it and even made some in my head but I never actually wrote them down and tracked myself throughout the year. I think the fear of failure was the driving force- BUT NO MORE! I have been listening to …

Two Firsts

Ari got her first ponytail yesterday. I always save the honor of the first ponytail for Auntie Marci. She gave Zoë and Britt their first ones (we decided Kalixta never had that typical first ponytail because we just left her beautiful curls alone). Yesterday was the day and Ari wasn’t too happy. She cried, but …

A New Mom

I am not good at new year resolutions. In that past that has translated into not really truly making any, knowing that I wouldn’t keep them anyway. This year however is different. I want to make and keep my goals. The problem may be that I have too many goals this year. We will see …
