Why does my jersey smell like poop?

This week started out like usual...crazy busy! We've had another cross country meet and 2 more soccer games. I'm feeling grateful that I've got just a bit more energy the past couple days. Still coughing but not as bad.


The highlight of Wylie's game came before it even started. As we all jumped out of the van in the parking lot he loudly asked, "Why does my jersey smell like poop?!" Well buddy, when mom is sick the laundry doesn't get done. I didn't do any laundry last week. Now we're in catch up mode and I'm still tired so it's a slow process. Do you have any idea how much laundry this family produces?! I have my kids fold their own clothes and put it away. But for the most part I still wash it.


Wylie's jersey didn't look all that bad but Lilah's jersey looked like she had swept a floor using it. It'll get washed...soon. Lilah didn't care and it didn't stop her from going up against rough preschool boys and scoring 5 goals! Wylie didn't seem to notice his jersey stench while he had a great game and scored 6 goals!


Kenzie even mentioned her jersey needed a wash but I don't feel bad about that. She knows how to use the washer! She did awesome in her meet! This time she got 7th place overall and 4th on her team.

Follow Your Promptings!

  Sunday, May 2, 2021   During fast and testimony meeting today (anyone is invited to share their testimony with the congregation, if they want, in this once-a-month meeting) I felt the pull to get up and share my testimony. It was strong enough to get me to jump out of my seat, yet I did not jump out of my seat. Each passing minute, each passing testimony, I was burning to get up, but I did not. This morning before church, I listened to a fantastic talk about promptings and acting on those first promptings! I listened to how the speaker explained that the adversary is usually the second thought and tries to use logic to talk us out of acting on that first prompting. I agreed and understood! Yet only a couple hours later, I was sitting in sacrament meeting justifying the first prompting to go up and share my testimony. Some of my “second thoughts” included, “But I’m pregnant and nervous and if I get up, I might pee my pants (dress)!” And, “I have so much I want to say that I’m

  Monday, January 25, 2021- The weight of my blankets only made me want to stay in bed longer. I'm not a morning person regardless of not wanting to face Myles' doctor appointment. Myles decided he wanted to wear his super Mario brother hat from Halloween. Sure, why not?! When we arrived at the waiting room for the clinics in Primary Children's Hospital, I was taken back by the emptiness. The hospital, dedicated to the care of children, always has plenty to do and multiple options in the waiting room. We were once there for a swallow study and someone had the sole job to blow bubbles and play games to distract Myles and keep him happy during his testing. Anyways, thank you covid for destroying the fun for sick and sometimes scared kids waiting to be seen. 😓   We actually didn't have to wait long. The nurse took us back to the room they weigh and measure kids in. When I walked in memories flooded my mind of all the different times I've been in that room with Myl

You are Not Forgotten! Don't Give Up!

Saying good bye to our first house. Sometimes when you meet people and start talking to them, you get that feeling that you just get each other. You click! Last week, at Wylie's last soccer game, a woman on the sidelines watched me arrive at the game with my bunch of kids plus a couple extra. I probably looked like a frazzled mess because we were running late and I'm hauling all these kids around while hugely pregnant. It's a good look...just saying. After we settled down on the sidelines she came up to me and asked me if this would be baby number 7 or 8. I explained it was 7 but some of the kids with me at that moment weren't mine. She smiled with understanding and told me she had 8 kids. Keep Trying! We continued to talk for a while about coming from big families, raising big families, getting counted in public, transitioning to a 12 passenger van, and all the funny and rude things that come with carting around a million kids. Then she mentioned th
