Our Wacky World: Last day of school

Editor's note

I started this blog in my 11th week of my 1st pregnancy because I thought that maybe the child I was carrying would enjoy having this to look back on someday.

CJ was born 3 November 2005. she is named for her great-grandmothers: Clara from Allen's Grandma Reaves and Jean was my Nanny's middle name.

Rylee Ann was born 31 May 2009. the spelling of her name is unique because "Lee" is my dad's middle name and Allen's mom's maiden name. Ann is my middle name and my mother's middle name.

Kaeli Allyn was born 5 December 2011! Kaeli because we both liked it and Allyn after Allen, because we aren't sure if we're having more and if we'll ever have a boy!

And we got our boy!

Maverick Cutter was born 5 September 2015. Maverick because - well, Allen loves Top Gun! Cutter is Sherri's maiden name.

We love them all so much and are so excited to see them grow up together.

I hope you enjoy watching our babies grow.

Good Quotes

Ti amo is romantic love. Ti voglio bene, literally means, I want good for you.

“Marriage is God’s laboratory for learning to love an imperfect person the way Jesus loves us.”

Recognize that the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times. But amid the challenges, there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction.

-M. Russel Ballard

Marriage provides shelter for the child who enters mortality innocent and helpless. Marriage ensures security and happiness for parents as well.

-President Boyd K. Packer,
Ensign, Nov. 1986, 18

Parents, remember that now is your opportunity.
You may feel yourself harrasssed as you struggle
through the days with children,
but you are living the happiest
and the most golden years of your life.
As you tuck them into their beds at night,
please be kind to them.
Let them hear a kind voice amid all the
angry, vile voices that they will hear throught life.
Let there be an anchor to which these little ones
can turn when all else fails.
The Lord will help you so to do....

-Harold B. Lee

Eat it up, wear it out, make it do or do without!

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

- Sister Hinckley
