Yummy Chocolate

Don and Andrew found a Hershey's bar I had put up. They thought it was really good.

Especially Don, and........




Richard. No wonder he won't eat regular food. After Chocolate baby food is gross.

Richard Growing 2

So when Richard came home I took a picture of him next to a doll. I decided to have Kelly take another with Richard next to the same doll yesterday. Here you can really see his growth. It is quite amazing. I am glad I don't grow at the same rate. Although sometimes I feel it is the same rate :-).

Growing Richard

I was looking at Richard and how much he has grown. I decided I would post a few pictures that show the changes he has gone through.


March 29, 2008- 11 days old


March 24, 2008 - 6 days old


January 28, 2009 - 10 months old


December 20, 2008 - 9 months old

Wow, he has really changed.

One milestone, he finally slept through the night in his own bed. YEAH. Now I need to learn to sleep through the night ;-)

Limit Families to Two Children - WHAT!

Lately there has been so much political junk that I get frustrated and upset. One comment I heard was that there are some that think we need to limit families to 2 children. I don't understand that. My children are the greatest gift I have. I don't think my life would be complete without all of them.

Our world needs good kids from good homes so we can have honest and hardworking leaders of the future. Families are so under attack. I am always grateful for my kids. They are growing up so fast. I could not imagine my life without them. I don't understand all the reasons why I have 7 and others don't get that blessing. But I am grateful for the blessing and honor the opportunity I have to raise good kids to be strong and righteous leaders in the community, church and Nation. I strive to live up to the trust Heavenly Father has in me to be a good mom.

I am also Thankful for my parents who didn't stop at two. I wouldn't be here and many great people who are my siblings wouldn't either. I hope I honor my parents in the way I live my life. What great fun to have all my brothers and sisters. They are some of my best friends.
