Hyrum AKA Hy-Hy
This boy has so much personality and he shows a lot of it with his facial expressions. One that you might see first is probably a furrowed brow as this is the face he gives people he doesn’t know well. My favorite is his smile. When he smiles, his face lights up just like the

Jackie AKA Jack
It is difficult to describe the overall personality of someone that is just beginning to show the world who he is. This boy is so full of energy, curiosity, and has a ready smile. He is really loving to chat these days and will say things like, “Hyrum, night night?” or “Tai Tai go bye-bye

Getting a Handle On It
There has been a lot of my mind lately, but this one topic has been running through my head the past 24 hours. Toilet handles. I’m not sure why, but all of the three toilets in our house flush successfully about five out of six times. It seems like if you flush anything other than

Returning Home – Part II
I knew this would be difficult, but I didn’t know it would start being difficult this early. I never had to think about visas before. When I lived in Mongolia last time, there was a committee of people who handled my visa for me. And I was by myself. When you’re young and alone and

Returning Home – Part I
This is my first time blogging. I guess I write it more as a journal, but I’ve been meaning to write for a while now. There have been a few places that have felt like home to me. Of course, when I was a child, every place my parents were felt like home. I lived

He listened to this podcast and remembered his love for Mongolia that

Colorado Road Ragnar 2019
A couple weekends ago I was very blessed to participate in my second Ragnar Relay. Four years ago I ran one with many of the same people in Tennessee. This year we connected in Colorado. I think it means so much more to me because in the beginning, I didn’t know if I would be

Kid Update
It has been such a long time since I have have written anything. I think that it is time for me to do an update on my kids. Matthew is 15. He is such a peaceful, fun kid. He wants peace. He brings peace. He also has such a fun, happy-go-lucky personality. He is pretty

January and Hibernation
I was talking to my sister-in-law and great friend Jamie and we both decided that next year we would like to hibernate during the month of January. That would be nice if it were possible, but a little extreme, especially being a wife and mother. I would have to put the rest of my family
