"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Happy 6th birthday to karbon baby

today was your "two hand" birthday... the hard one for me. it's sad and happy at the same time you're growing up.


Happy 6th birthday day to my baby bunz!! today is the hard birthday...the "two hands" birthday. he's moved from baby to bigger boy... he'll never be on one hand again 😭😭😭, it's hard for me.

Today was a low key kinda day, but karbon was pretty specific about what he wanted. 
1. kinetic sand. 
karbon can't say the word kinetic...so it sounds like "kinugget" 😂😂
2. baby yoda cake
thanks to a sweet neighbor, he got his amazing cute little cake!
3. cash money
grandpa & grandma haslem froze two $20 bills in a red solo cup and he had to wait til it melted to get his cash.... only he didn't want to wait around and it ended up in the microwave lol.
4. Pizza Cart 🍕 for lunch.
5. Dad's birthday pancakes #6

his wishes came true... of course they did, he gets any dang thing he wants and I'm sorry not sorry!! 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY handsome boy!!

Roller Rink

after YEARS & YEARS... nick and I FINALLY skated together at a roller skate rink. we both had a deep love for "outer limits" roller rink when we were just kids and DIDNT know eachother... I wonder how many times we skates past eachother at the rink!


st. George opened a new rink and for daydons birthday we went there... it was a little magical (lol)... but holding his hand and skating together was quite a feeling... almost butterflies in my stomach.. its another thing we both loved as kids and finally had a place to "couples skate" .... even better was our boys got to join for the "first" time as well... they all picked it up well and really likes it!

Spring Break days

2020 spring break. we didn't have much planned but made the best we could put of the boys break. Fishing, hiking, picnic and making sure we just spent TIME together. 

We adore these 4 boys of ours, each so unique in their own way! 

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
