Blessings....Lots of them

So I will write a post about all of the adventures the past week or so over the weekend. But today I was reminded that we are so blessed. Life is good. Lacrosse is crazy but four healthy kids. Enough money for our needs and even some wants. Victoria is turning into a fabulous dancer.

I am so blessed to have Lee in my life. Today I text him, "I should cleaning but I am going to take the boys to the park." His response, "Good for you."


So my house is a mess and starting at 3 it will be non stop running kids around.

But I did manage to get the bills paid and hopefully I will get some laundry folded.

I am trying to plan the summer. I think having a schedule will not only help the kids but me as well.

Still trying to figure out Spring Break. I just need to make a decision and go with it.

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...

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...
