Bill. Billy. Billy Bones. Bones.

i am not quite sure what is going on here. I specifically asked this kid to stop growing, stop getting older and stop being a big kid. I wish I could pinpoint the exact moment he became so defiant but I can't. He is sneaky like that.
11! What the?! I can't quite believe that my "baby" is 11. What a journey it has been. I am so thankful that Corbin is our caboose. He is the thing that binds this family together and makes it complete. Without him, there would be a big hole. But instead, there is a giant WHOLE.
Happy Birthday big kid. We love you so very much.

Life Is Beautiful

It is a gorgeous day in the valley today. Somehow these mountains make me feel closer to God. I feel such a peace when I look out there and it is evident that he is real and that my Savior is with me always.
Sometimes, we get a little off track and forget who we are. Sort of lose ourselves a little. Take a moment each day to just be silent. Listen and feel the comfort that He has to give. When I take the time to connect with Him, it's a whole lot easier to remember who I am and that I am loved.

An Empty Tomb

“In our hour of deepest sorrow, we can receive profound peace from the words of the angel that first Easter morning: ‘He is not here: for he is risen.’”

Biggest Loser Challenge

Ok peeps,

Summer is just about upon us. I know that I have a few pounds to lose and a few places to tighten up! i would like to propose a Biggest Loser type challenge amongst friends.

It would be fun if we could get either 10 guys and 10 girls or just 10 people total to play. The cost will be $30 a person. There will be weekly and monthly incentives for those that lose the highest % of weight. And $250 to the person at the end who has the highest %!

Everyone will send me their starting weight. (This will be kept private.) You will message me every Friday with total pounds lost for the week and I will calculate percentages. Then I will announce who the Biggest Loser for the week is. This is all done on the honor system.

I would like to get started May 1st. Who's with me? I think it's a lot more fun when there are prizes and competing going on. It motivates me more!
