This month was a whole bunch of little things that made a great
time. If I teach my kids anything it is this: they are in control of their own
emotion and they can do hard things. HATE DAYLIGHT SAVING. We went to the
All-Ability park opening day.
Denali had a dentist appointment and stayed home. Colvin wanted to go to
school. The power of a good teacher. Colvin passed off his RED sight
words for spelling. HUGE accomplishment for him.
I made my first poster for school. Thank heavens for Greg, he helped cut
out letters.
Azalyn wants to do everything good and bad the boys do. They put their plate in
the sink she does it too. They get up from the table without eating she does it too. We talk a lot about being an example. The kids helped me
clean the garage. I love them getting old they are (the boys) fantastic help
(when they want to be) They would rather watch (play) with sister. They try to do everything with her even bike. The boys
mowed the lawn for the first time this year. I love summer 1st. Colvin also tried to loose his first tooth. We shoot it with a nerf gun. Did not came out but he wrote about it in school.
We left ALL the kids for about an hour, while filing taxes. I feel date
night.
Azalyn had her first play date. They played side by side. I got to talk to an
adult and had a great time.
Something bad; Azalyn threw a bottle of nail polish down the stars and it
shattered. Yep up 5 stairs and Nothing with take it out. Azalyn is our little diva. She loves being girly. Greg said I was giving her a hair complex (I do her hair every day) I stopped cold turkey, I lasted 3 day.
BIG NEWS: I talked Greg into getting chickens. All the kids got 2. Azalyn loved
watching them but was not so sure she wanted them to touch her. They were in
the boy’s room for the first 2 weeks. Greg said not to fall in love because we
could not keep them. Colvin was lost the first night. HACK: if you buy
them from Cal Ranch you have free replacement within 2 weeks. We had to
"return" 2. The boys said the chickens were the best surprise
ever.
Greg and I talked in church. It was my longest talk ever. The power of ZOOM;
Mom, Dad, McCarty, Tana, and Cory all got to watch. (talk at the end, it was
about waiting on the lord)
Blessing: I knew I needed gas, but I wanted to get it after I dropped the boys
off at school. When I dropped Colvin off at school, I had 2 miles to go. I made
it the 5 miles to Costco.
We had to time a warmer day, but we had a fire! A hotdog has never tasted so
good.
FOOD HACK: At Wal-Mart there were mayo and peanut butter in squeeze packs. I
thought I can make that. I came home, broke out my baby food pouches maker.
Then I filled them with Mayo, Sour Cream, peanut butter, and jam PERFECT!
We were at Lagoon opening day. (we were not the only crazies). Utah spring is
hormonal. One day sunny the next cold, it could rain snow or both. The first
day at Lagoon was freezing. It rained the whole time. Poor Azalyn's lips were
blue by the time we left. Memories: Azalyn, Colvin and I got stuck in the
haunted house. Azalyn was calling for daddy the whole time. He is her protector.
The 2nd round at Lagoon was much better. Warmer! We might miss the cold this
summer.
Cousin time: Sierra came down for spring break. ALL the kids wanted to sleep in
the same room the first night. Even the girls. Then all my kids sleep in my
room the next. She also brought her new dog, cookie. Sunggles just wanted to be boss.
We had so many things and so little time. We biked to the Costco park, 7 kids
and 2 adults. Crossing the roads were an adventure. Then we biked to the
All-Ability park. Timber got to come with us. I ran most of the way there and
back. Sister time is the best!! It is the perfect medication for your mental
darkness. (thanks to Sierra for becoming a Karren on Spanish Fork city, we got
the park open). We went to the Orem park (did not bike) we make all the kids
super sick spinning. We skyped McCarty. She showed us all up with her bunny
Tic-Tok dance.
The boys started soccer. The first few games were COLD wind and rain. Azalyn is
such a trooper with all the back and forth. Denali had fun playing. Colvin
found his game. He made his team’s first 4 goals.
Sad News: My van is staring to have fix it issues. We had to get a new
windshield. Blessing the insurance paid for it. Then the ball joint came off
the shocks. Poor Greg was driving when it came off. Miracle he was save. The
sad news is, we are going to have to start looking for a new van. It is not
going to last 5 yrs.
The best things in life are the things that are the hardest to fight for, but
worth it. Let the lords take the wheel. If you do your part the lord with help
you. I indexing and or reviewed 20000 names. 
Best topic for me There is so many but as I got to writing the thought keep coming to my mind the lord times is not our time.
*in our day we wants thinks now. When Amazon prime went from 2 to 4 days that was hard for us.
* waiting in line for food and if it takes more than 5 min, we are wondering what is going on.
*the lords need to us to wait so we can fell the full ray of his love and blessing.
*Some say that high school was the best time of their life it WAS NOT for me. It was really hard, and Satan temped me with some easy but not good ways to get out of it early. With the encouragement of my parents, I stayed strong. My mom would say I would come home beaten every day she would pump me up and send me out the next day. Was it really worth it? Then I went to collage and meet a wonderful man.
*However, life was not still easy. In our temple sealing (we were married in the Manti Temple) the sealer told us not to wait too long to have kids. Greg was ready to have kids right away. I was not. Now let me tell you something about me. I am the middle of 5 kids. When my little sister was born, she is 7 yrs. younger my mom says I was the most excited. I like to “help” or pester her the most. As I got older when my cousin came if there was a baby around, they would say well syringa will not play now. After 3 yrs. of trying to we did our first round of AF 4/16/2011 – Denali was born4/12/12 4 days short of one yr. from this energy. I actually cheated and took one on Easter Sunday just one week later. I wanted an Easter surprise (his birthday was on Easter last year) if it was positive, it was not. Then 15 days after Artificial Insemination, Sunday came I took a test and negative. This is where my wonderful Greg comes into play. He just held for 3 hours and let me cry. We did not end up making it to church because I could not stop crying. All day I would think of something and cry. It opened up every pain I had ever felt, I really feel like this is mostly my fault Greg loves me no matter what and he will always love me no matter what. The lord knew I needed this moment to appreciate the full warmth of his love. He also knew I needed this moment for the hard years head.
*remember that girl is high school It was worth waiting for the wonderful Man that would hold me for countless hours of tears and pain. And who loved me no matter what.
*Then the light came, and Denali was born. When Denali was a year old, he decided we better start working on baby #2 we had a yr. plan to get preg. Well 4 mos. Later I thought I had to flu but a positive preg. Test change the flu theory. I thought yes, the lord is blessing me because of all the hard I went through well yes and NO.
*Colvin was born 2 yrs. 1 mon and 2 days after Denali. He was the best baby till he was 3ms old then he got an ear infection that would not go away till he was 1. He scream ALL the time. Everyone called him screamer and I had more than one person tell me he was the best birth control. To add to the ear pain, he stopped nursing at 9 ms old but had a milk intolerance. He was a horrible sleeper. Then on top of all that the baby blues hit with a vengeance. And one more thing Greg’s work schedule changed to 4 10 the night shift so from Monday to Thursday we got to see him for about an hr. to say I was basket case would of saying 2020 was a unique year. HOWEVER, I could look at my hurt of not being to have a baby and then look at my 2 wonderful little boys and remember how big of blessing they were to get me through one more day.
*One yr. later when Colvin got tubes and his tummy had grown into his eating. Life turned upside down. I wanted the lord times to be one night of mom getting a full 8 hours of sleep. But usually, the lords time is years. Now Colvin is the sweetest boy.
* I would not change how close Denali and Colvin are for the world they are best friends. Did I see that when my 2.5 yrs. wanted mom and my baby would not stop screaming and I wanted was a 5min quite time NO, but the lord say it? Did I know that I would need those hard years of begging for a baby so I could see my kids on tired crazy frustrating day on my biggest blessing NO, but the lord did? Did I know that I needed that time in high school of hard and unhappy to know what I really wanted in life NO, but the lord did? He knows all.
*then miss Azalyn came 4 yrs. later and is a huge blessing. WE love her with all our hearts. Did she come without her challenge NO, but Greg said most guys don’t want to know about the hard ships of feeding.
*Last summer Greg was playing with the kids I the though came to me it was ALL worth it. The hard in high school having to really decide what was truly important. It was ALL worth it the pain and hart ack of not having kids. It was WOTH it all the sleepless night (not over but working on it) the lord knows what we need and what will make us into the strongest uses possible.
Then there is Rachel the mother of Joseph and Benjamin the wife of Jacob on of my favorite scripture is and god remembered Rachel Gen 30:22
*When I was 8, I got my hand caught in a filter drain of a hot tube. If you ever need a talk on miracles, I have one. However, to make a long story short I have had a few surgeries on my hand. It is perfect no. I am still waiting on the lord to make it perfect, but I have to see the blessing and the miracles that I have every day the lords time is not in this life and we have to put ok with that. I have so much empathy for people’s pain because of my hand. I know that I am a stronger person because of it.
