| This is my little sister Holly. And her BFF Dillon. Hence Hollon. {Oh, plus Livy....Livy LOVES Dillon}. Holly and Dillon are both really sweet people with pretty faces & kind hearts. I love them each so much. They have both been called to serve missions for our church. They are sacrificing the next couple years-ish of their lives to spreading the good news of the gospel. I am so very proud of them. This picture was taken at Dillon's traditional farewell talk at church on Sunday. |

| we have each taken a turn with the stomach flu this week. except myron. and i hope he doesn't because we have a weight loss competition going...and i can't afford him to lose anymore poundage! |
 |
| My life has been barfing and laundry.... |
 |
| And being the recipient of many tender mercies...kind words and texts. A delicious meal from Deb on Saturday. And this above sweetness was just delivered by my mom. I am so grateful for the kind acts of service. I love my family on both sides so very much. I thank heaven for them every single day. ♥ |
 |
| FYI: My new style of blogging is to dump my random pics into a post and use the caption function to tell you about them. Here are some sock cupcakes made for the Fairfield Ward Young Women [aka the cutest, most amazing group of girls EVER] for their birthdays! Our theme this year is the scripture "Stand ye in holy places and be not moved..." ♥ |
 |
| And bam! A breakfast burrito. Told you: random! Have you ever tried bacon + eggs + Grandma's Kitchen Pepperjelly? Get your hands on some of it & prepare to fall in love. |
 |
| Liv had a playdate with some very fun twin friends and LOVED every minute of it. She is getting so grown up & it makes me so happy and breaks my ever-loving heart simultaneously. |

| Sometimes I cook dinner. Not very often. So here's proof. |
 |
| Even more rare? A clean fridge. More proof. |
 |
| Our week is always a joy if we get to see baby A. She is seriously the happiest girlfriend ever! We love her parents too! |
 |
| Me and my homegirls. Sometimes I feel really sorry for these girls that they got such a nutjob for a mother. But they're stuck with me & I love 'em something fierce. We are doing a-okay & life is good. ♥ |
 |
| Gerbs make me so happy. I acquired these beauties at a Young Women's meeting and they stayed pretty for days&days. |
 |
| Love is in the air. Hung up the [very few] V-day decorations i own this week. February is my favorite month in Arizona, Brings the promise of 2 months of glorious yard work weather & park days & sunshine. |

| My mom, who knows i love owls, picked up this little guy for me. He makes me smile everyday. ♥ |
 |
| I love this quilt all year around, but February is the perfect month to display it. Handquilted by my grandma Dixie Dixon. Love her & miss her. Idaho is far. ♥ |

| And I leave you an awkward selfie of yours truly. Snapped the day after sacred hair appointment day. Bless Audrey's soul, my mullet needed her. ♥ |

| my alyssum and a few snaps came back from seed this year. let's just have a moment of silence to remember how happy last years patch of flowers were.....<silence> |

i've been trying to spend at least 15 minutes in the yard / day to get it under control. making progress a day at a time. can't wait for the temps to heat up, {just a bit} so i can fill the gaps in my flower bed. the weather was delightful today, so i took advantage & spent some time out there. good for the soul, indeed. |
 |
| the girls are LOVING doing jobs everyday. our system is making life so much easier and cleaner. i have failed so many times at this kind of stuff, i am so happy for some success! |
 |
| oh livy. she's become more animated and hilarious by the day. we chill around the house, cuddle in blankets & watch cartoons, lots. i cherish these days. ♥ |
 |
| my preferred footwear. so comfy. |
 |
| does it ever end? answer: no. |
 |
| this wins for my least favorite chore, though. bright happy dishes make it a little better. ♥ |
