No bling bling here.
Just your average little family trying to make it through a tumultuous life with the help of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Timbeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr
My parents moved last year to a new home in American Fork. It sits on an old lot where a previous home had been torn down. There were some very large and very ugly cottonwood trees on either side of the home. They asked Jamie to cut them down. Dad rented a large boom lift and one Saturday in early spring we all helped as Jamie slowly but steadily cut the trees down. We had a few close calls but for the most part they came down safely and steadily. Now my parents are having the stumps pulled and a rock wall placed around the basement with some sod placed. It is going to look nice. I am glad I have such a handy husband. He is almost always willing to learn something new. I takes a lot after my Grandfather. He is very handy with his hands.
"Making the decision to have a child--it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." --Elizabeth Stone
"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother... Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children... What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else." Elder M. Russell Ballard
"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to just be people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey, delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling burst of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley
