Book of Mormon challenge

I am really grateful for a living prophet to guide us in these crazy days. I still don't really understand how the Book of Mormon is going to bless my life but consequently it is a book that has brought me peace taught me to simplify. Inspired me to be a better mom and wife. And brought me closer to our Savior. If you haven't already started the Book of Mormon so you can finish it by the end of the year I would really encourage you. I'll bring you blessings you don't even know you need or desire. The Book of Mormon was written years ago but currently brings magnitudes of tender mercies. It will change your heart to be softer, stronger and kinder. I am really grateful for friends that are reading this at the same time as me and for millions of members of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints.

My heart

Life is really wonderful. Life is also really challenging. Hardships and sadness could pour into and then out of me everyday. I've been so lucky to retire 😉😉 or quit my job and be home with the babes for over a year and a half. Being home is a sacrifice in many ways and sometimes I think mentally it would be easier to go back to work and just do a job because let's be real but having had my mom home with me then having this opportunity to do it. We did it. We were only using my pay check as savings when I was working so the money would always be nice because I love love love to save money but  E and I are fas more important to us. Chris is a lovely provider and partner in life. We are greatly blessed to have the connection we do. I'm deeply grateful for his parents for raising him like a gentleman and with the mindset of being a partner. We have been blessed so many times. 

My family is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm really so happy. Love you guys. 

Thanksgiving with Grandpa and Grandma and Simon Wilson

Thanksgiving was really fun with the Wilson family I'm being able to be with one another and chat. We played our favorite game quiplash and we are all laughing. The cousins had so much fun together. They played in the tent and playing with the train in the toy room. For me the food is never the highlight it's getting together and that was true for this time too. We've been enjoying a lot of leftovers just been very pleasant and delicious. We are grateful to have health and family nearby and of course cute kids.

Hello September

It's been way too long since I've written on here. I thought I was going to keep it updated but I've had other priorities. Izzy is one and she's the most beautiful Blondie I ever did see! She's so happy, determined, smart and vocal. She's already saying so many things. Maybe it comes with having a sibling. The Dr keeps telling us how advanced she is and I am amazed.

Eli is as cute as they come. He is so fun to be with and has the most contagious laugh. He will be watching TV while I get Izzy to sleep and I'll hear him laughing at the funny parts. It is very cute. He's so caring with Izzy. Always wants Izzy to have whatever he is getting or going.

They have loved being on the go, just like Chris and I. We go.... Allot. I think it's in my nature but I also like to be busy.

Chris is loving his new job and advancements and accomplishments. It's so great being married to someone who loves their job and brings home the bacon so I can full time be at home. Having a full time stay at home wife is truly a luxury. Sometimes I wish I had one myself lol jk.

Our birthdays are here and it's a fun time of celebrating! Today we get trees in our yard and some plants in the back. So exited!!!!!

Silly things

Eli has such a fun personality and we love being silly with him!
