I just went through this blog looking for a photo that I have lost on my computer and realized what goodness is here for my family. <br />
So I will write again. Life is an amazing journey. I'm learning so much and so slowly it seems. I can see so many of the same lessons cycling through and I wonder why I am so hard headed and do not pick them up on round one.<br />
The kids are growing up so fast. I CANNOT believe I have an 18 year old finished with high school. Unreal. We have also grown and added to our numbers. What a joy Ruby is to our family and life.<br />
I hope you have things you love so much you can't let go too. Writing, photos, and family are that for me.<br />

Seasons come back around again and I continue to try to navigate the growing of myself along side the growing up of my children. Before I was a mother I thought that somehow in the very act of becoming a mother I would have this massive stream of knowledge come to me that would instantly bestow wisdom. *Insert disappointment :)*<br />

<br />
Even in motherhood, as in all things, wisdom comes from time, experience, meditation and prayer. Knowledge comes from study, time, mistakes, and failure. Trail and Error. I am so grateful for the children I have who have helped me in this way. They teach me much more than I teach them. Like the flowers in my garden who continue to work towards blooming even up until the moment it snows, they strive and press forward taking risks and bravely putting themselves forward even until the moment they sometimes fail. And then they try again. They are strong, resilient and kind. They are awesome.<br />

And we are having a lot of fun. I think I have laghed more in the past year than in the previous 6 years combined and that's awesome. And I'm tired from doing things that I feel called to do, so that's good too.<br />

THIS. This is why. Because it's all so simple and beautiful and they love the little things and it is such a joy to learn from them all. <div>

Madeline planned a big surprise party for her and we were able to pull it off with a full surprise! It was so great and I will not forget how she covered her face and ran back out the front door! She was really truly shocked.<br />

What I Love so much about her is that she can handle any situation, any challenge and make it all work out beautifully. She is beyond creative and she loves the outdoors so much I can rarely find her inside. She is an animal whisperer and can catch anything. She is beautiful and thoughtful and always does kind things for others. She loves to sleep in and have breakfast around lunch time. I love her so much!</div>

The back door was open and a bird rapidly flew into our kitchen, realized it was a bad idea, and turned around and ran into the NOT open side of the sliding door and promptly killed itself. We were all so stunned! Savanna picked the bird up and Sheffield begged to hold it. He was fascinated with the soft feathers and was having a hard time grasping the fact that it was suddenly no longer living (after flying in our house right past him!) He was really sweet about it and kept asking "birdie fly?'<br />

Our florist unit is wrapping up with the end of the school year and while I will not miss the mess and the hard work I will miss having so many fresh flowers in my house every week at my disposal. It has been so fun to watch Savanna and Emma grow with their artistic abilities and trying new things. Last week Savanna went to teach 15 young girls about floral arranging and helped them make boquets for their mothers for Mother's Day. It was a huge success and she did a lot of prep work. </div>

A friend gave us a swing recently and Emma took it upon herself to climb a tree in the backyard and get it in working order for Sheffield. He now lets himself out the back door and climbs up in the swing all the time. The only thing is he cannot get himself out so after he's finished (about 40 minutes after he gets in) he just sits there calling 'hewp, hewp'!</div>

What my house really needed last weekend was some serious cleaning. What my family needed was a walk to the park. I'm glad that I gulped down my frustration at the mess and that we spent some time walking and playing together. As I watched my beautiful teenagers play the cup song on the park drums I found myself wondering how many more years do I have with them walking to the park with us as a family? Oh, and the mess was waiting for us when we got back. It didn't go anywhere and they were much more willing to help after having some down time. </div>

Emma's new favorite thing to play is Pioneers. She gets all the get up on and packs up the wagon and gets Faye's teepee out and they travel around the yard.

We had such a great time. Talk about a picturesque place! I could have spent days there {If I wasn't camping!} Sheffield has never been a good sleeper and it is not getting better so being in a remote camping spot didn't help him at all. We hung out in the car from 1 - 5 am and then I gave up and started a fire. Ah, well, the children came home with great memories!<br />

How did it become week 52 and then the New Year? Well here we are and I am happy to write that we have continued stong with the weekly family photo and even though I haven't posted them here I have most certainly taken them. One of the 3 gifts that my children recieved for Christmas was a photobook of all of the photos of themselves from 2014. It was magical when after they had all opened them the wrapping paper was quiet and they all sat {all 7 of them!} and looked at their books smiling and laughing before continuing to open their other gifts. I love it! I'm excited to make the 2015 books for next year that will have all of the weekly family photos in them. I'm such a photo taking nerd and I love having them. I think they will be treasures in the future. I will send those books off with them when they get married and I feel like it will be something worth taking. <br />

I need to listen to my soul speaking. I need to listen to hear what my spirit wants my life to be like. Instead of lists and goals and reminders on my mirror this year I carefully wrote up my ideal life. I wrote and wrote and edited and added and listened and wrote until I let my soul tell me all about my future life and now it is written down and recorded on my phone and I listen to it each morning when I wake up. I'm calling it my soul speaking prophesy. I'm believing in it. Because this I know: the subconscious is a powerful tool. When I listen to myself telling myself {whoa that sounds really funny} saying that I only speak in uplifting and inspiring ways, even though that isn't always true right now, when I go to speak in a way that is not uplifting and inspiring my subconscious will wave a reg flag telling me how I speak. </span></span><br />

Sheffield loved the sand, the waves, and especially the sea gulls. He spent hours chasing them around and it was so funny to watch. He would even get down and crawl toward them, growling.</div>

I always find myself feeling self conscious at the beach and this year was no exception. I felt frustrated with myself that I haven't worked to get back in shape since Sheffield was born. The good thing I guess is that I refused to hide my body and I played with my family on the beach and came home with some solid goals about doing a better job of fitting exercise back into my life. That has been the hardest thing for me since we began our homeschooling journey. </div>

Kurt is such a great sport to allow the children to bury him in the sand and they love it. Sheffield thought it was pretty funny that all he could see of his Dad was his head. He gave us some funny looks! Seeing this photo again just reminds me how much we had the beach to ourselves! </div>

The Balboa Candy Shop did not disappoint, as usual. When I see this picture all I can think of is 'Like a kid in a candy store'. He loved it so much he tasted one wrapper and all. Another huge highlight of the trip for the children is that cable tv was available at the beach house which they have never in their lives experienced at home. Watching the MLB games and two BYU football games, both with great wins, was a fun thing for the whole familiy. As to the other shows the children wanted to watch, leaving that tv behind is one thing that helped me say my final goodbyes and finally I was willing to leave! </div>

I've tried to have the door to our home open as much as possible to children of all ages and from many different families. I love that they feel comfortable here and that they know they are welcome. These boys feel like an extension of our family; we love them so much. They are funny and creative, helpful and so very sweet with the little ones. </div>

It really does feel like I just had him and BAM! He is one year old! I'm not sure how to deal in real time very well. If you ask me about all the events that took place this past Friday, for example {just 3 days ago} I will have to really think about it because so much has happened in the days in between so as to make it feel that Friday was much more than three days ago. Yet when you ask me about May when we began summer and the pool opened I would say it seems like that just barely happened. <br />

One thing I love the most about celebrating my children's birthdays is watching how much joy it brings to their siblings to watch them celebrate. The older children were so happy about him being able to eat his cake and about him opening a few gifts. It's so sweet and pure and fun to see. </div>

August beat me up pretty bad. I felt used up, chewed, and spit out. I considered quitting a lot of things that I'm trying to do but I'm here to say I will begin again. The end.<br />

I wonder if I will feel differently when we don't have a baby and don't have young children who have a hard time understanding that we can't just 'take them home to their own bed really quick'. Maybe I will but for now I am definitely a home body. Home, where everyone has a bed and a special blanket and where there is a bathtub for babies. Another reason why I think I am so attached to being at home is that I can face anthing when I am home. I can deal with sickness and pain and I can fall back on what conforts. When I'm away I wonder how to meet those same needs when I am not surrounded by the familiar and the known. It sounds silly now that I am typing it out but it's true. I will be interested to see if I feel differently 10 years from now when the children are older and a lot more self sufficient. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The fourth of July this year was the first time since we have been married that we have been out of town for the 4th and the first time in my life we didn't see fireworks! It was fun and different. </div>
<div>
Christian and Savanna both rode in the kids rodeo and were able to ride on cows and I had no idea that they would buck like that! It was amazing. We enjoyed the small town parade and mini ice cream cones for breakfast! The day turned hot and we had a long wait for Savanna and Christian to ride. We wished for rain but that didn't come until later at night we got rained out at the rodeo. A wet crying baby is enough to send me away in a hurry. </div>

Keeping with tradition, Clark came down with croup {this happens every time I forget to bring the nebulizer. } I was praying all night that we wouldn't have to take him to urgent care; thankfully we were able to get him in a hot steamy shower and have hime take some medicine and get it under control until we got back home to his usual inhalers and nebulizers and meds. I worry about him so much and wonder what effect long term this challenges will continue to have on his life. I think about what a miracle baby he has been and what a huge blessing it is that he is alive and active today. When I look at pictures on his tiny 10 pound body when he was one year old I feel so thankful that he was able to get the medicial attention he needed to allow him to survive and grow. And then I wonder if he will always feel like his health is holding him back from everything he wants to do as he grows older and I hope not. He sure doesn't seem to slow down on his own so maybe this is the way his body tells him to take it easy. I sure love him and feel so thankful every day that we still have him with us. </div>

I'm not sure where June flew off to. Time is a funny thing; the way it moves so quickly or slowly. The way I've been feeling about time reminds me of this quote by Neal A. Maxwell:<br />
<br />

Maxwell" src="http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1209148479p2/193147.jpg" style="border: 0px;" /></a><br />
<div class="quoteText" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; padding: 0px 5px 10px 0px;">
<h1 class="quoteText" style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Time is clearly not our natural dimension. Thus it is that we are never really at home in time. Alternately, we find ourselves wishing to hasten the passage of time or to hold back the dawn. We can do neither, of course, but whereas the fish is at home in water, we are clearly not at home in time--because we belong to eternity.”</h1>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm glad that this family of mine belongs to eternity as well. It may take eternity for me to get myself all ironed out and overcome my weaknesses as well.</div>

Watching the children explore and play around the barn with their counsins at Aunt Fay and Uncle Bob's house was amazing. It confirmed in my heart the great desire I have to create such a place for my grandchildren to do the same. It was a delight to catch my sister and some of her children in Idaho Falls and to be able to see them for a few hours. </div>

I'm not sure how I'm having such a difficult time keeping up with things that pass but I think it may have something to do with abundance in my life. I am abundantly blessed. I have an abundance of things running in my mental need to do list on a hourly basis and so many blessings associated with those items. We have an excessive amount of fun around here and when I look back through photos it is difficult for me to really process all the awesome experiences we are able to have on a continual basis. <br />

Yes, Kurt and I are hard workers with big dreams who plan and work to make these things happen. But this is only a very small part of it. Ultimately I have to acknowledge the massive blessings from my Father in Heaven that flow to us continually that make most parts of life so joyful.<br />

Recently I have been feeling really thou<span style="text-align: center;">ghtful by the over privilege that my children experience. They will never know what it is like to wonder if they are loved or cared for or where their next meal will come from. They cannot possibly understand how so many others in the world live struggling for daily sustenance; as I will not understand either because I too have always been well cared for. Don't get me wrong; I do not wish for any of us to have to go through feeling that way or not having the essentials of life. Pondering on it has just made me feel especially grateful for the life that we live and that is what I am trying to express and hoping to teach them. Again and again I need to re-learn the lesson that life is so much more enjoyable when I am focused on what I DO have; what is around me that is lovely and fun and fulfilling. It's such a better way to live than to look at others and see that they have things I don't have. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">The truth is; there is abundance all around me. I'm thankful that blessings are what keep me busy! </span><br />

I'm getting better at learning how to love unconditionally. I'm learning that it isn't something that I do for someone else but something that I do for me; as I love wholly and without expectation it makes me a better person.<br />

This past week I have been praying for little things; things that are not huge and that really only matter in the lives of me and my children. Things like Clark's tooth getting loose and coming out even though the tooth behind it was already in and my children almost always have to have their teeth pulled and it hurts and it's expensive and I just didn't think Clark could handle that right now. Sure enough, three days after I started really praying about it he woke up one morning and it was completely wiggling. I feel so thankful for all of these little things that happen on a reguar basis that remind me that Heavenly Father listens; he cares; and that even little things matter to Him. <br />

Sheffield has had that tongue hanging out constantly and we are hoping for some teeth in his mouth as well since he has decided that he will only eat table food and NOT baby food. This is the problem with having 6 older siblings. He watches them do some many things and he seems to be in a hurry to keep up. He is trying to stand up anytime he can grab on to one of us and he is growing up much too rapidly. </div>

Faye just makes life fun. So does 8 inches of snow in April. Now things are turning green and the garden is looking promising and I love that!</div>

It's funny to me that I didn't realize that the sun was reflecting so brightly off of Savanna's blonde hair when I took this picture. Poor Kurt, it's bouncing back right on his face! It reminded me that there are things that are there all the time {answered prayers, the love of God} that we sometimes don't see until later. <br />

I love this photo and I wish that Clark hadn't been so grumpy so that he would have stayed in it. I guess we will just try again next week :)</div>

It's funny how the parts of the yard that are misshapen and have annoying slopes where water sits are the favorite places for them to play. That just goes to show that you can find greatness in what is imperfect and broken if that is what you are looking for. Also, a certain three year old can be quite opinionated about what she wears. Especially when it does not match whatsoever.</div>
