Car Trouble

We had a great time in Kamiah.  It was nice and sunny.  Now we are back to really cold weather and gray skies.  The kids had a great time playing with their cousin and riding the sled behind the four wheeler.  

We had some car trouble.  Yesterday Lee slid into the mountain on the way to church and today on the way home the van kept stalling.  Lee thinks he knows what the problem was but we have started searching for a new van just in case.  Of course the one I want is way out of our price range plus I don't want a mini van this time around I want an SUV.  But somebody disagrees with me.  I am fairly certain that Lee's car is on it's way out the door too but we will just buy him a four door car that will fit three kids in the back.  We drive our vehicles forever or until I wreak them. 

We have some really amazing neighbors who randomly showed up to thaw out our pipes.  all because of some random post on facebook.  

Hard to get over Jake being eight.  Really where did my little boy go?  Just wait until he is 18 and heading off to college and then I will really be wondering what happened.  

I will go into more specifics about Kamiah when my fingers aren't freezing.  Heading upstairs where it is much warmer.

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

Covid 19

Words can not expressed the range of emotions I am feeling at the moment.  One week ago we had it all planned out.  Then Covid happened.  And the whole world was suddenly on hold.  Kids had school Monday but then have been out for ten days and are scheduled to return on the 20th of April.  However most people think that is unlikely.  My heart is breaking for graduating seniors.  We cancelled our trip to Zion which may have happened any way because it was calling for snow.  I hope we will rise from this stronger but right now I feel like curling up in a ball and crying. Lee now has work at home options since we have not been put on "lockdown" at this point although several other areas and cities across the county including a few in Idaho have been. I try and  look for the good.  Healthy kids, good weather, lots of projects we put off being completed.  But some moments it feels like we are missing on so much. We did church at ho...

A Little COVID Update

SO what have been up to. Lots of nothing COVID sent me into a huge mess of depression and anxiety that I have slowly been getting through thanks to medication. The medications have made me a much better mom and wife. We spent a week with Lee's family at his family reunion last week. There was so many good fun times but there was also some frustration where Lee and I felt like we were the built in babysitters and people kept just leaving their children with us. I tried to be compassionate but sometimes it is hard. We are thankful for all the great memories we had, older kids got to go to Lagoon with their cousins which was fabulous despite snide comments about how much we make and what we can afford. We are thankful for Lee's brother and family hosting and always for the generosity of Lee's dad and Gina. And Lee's cousin took amazing pictures Jake got his permit and overall isn't such a bad driver just inexperienced. Marching band sort of kind of was cance...
