Prepared for General Conference

The church is such an awesome organization! I know that this is the Lord’s Church on the earth – the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This weekend is General Conference (watch it – it’s cool! 10am MST and 2pm MST). General Conference is broadcast by Satellite, by some cable stations, by radio, telephone [...]

More More

I’m tired of trying to come up with an alphabetical title in my posts. This experiment is now officially retired on my blog.
My new iMac is so stunning, fast and fun. I had fun getting to know it a bit more today, since I’m so sick. I also laid my hands on Aperture.
 Aperture is Apple’s [...]

How Invigorating!

THANK YOU! I feel much better. Conference was quite wonderful and I feel like my cup is full again. So much of conference was directly aimed at me. I know…vain isn’t it? I am a firm believer that Heavenly Father knows our doings, our needs and our wants. And because he is such a loving [...]

Boisterous

My kids are boisterous. Seriously, they have their moments as in the Blasted post – and then they have their good moments – like yesterday when they actually cleaned. Well, they cleaned because Kim hounded them until they did something about it. Today, though, Liam kept on saying shoes, shoes when I was leaving. [...]

Astounding!

We had a neat day. I actually started the day with getting the kids out the door at 9am. We went to McDonalds – which went astoundingly well and quick. Next, we went to my dad’s to get ready to take the boat for a spin. He gave Lundi and Caleb cub compound bows with [...]
