The Livin is Easy

Yes it is summer once again.  This will be our second summer here in Utah.  I can't believe that it has been a year.  Once year since our life just up and changed on us.  Boy has this past year taken us in all directions.  It is super crazy to even stop and think about it.  

I say it every time I write a post, I am so sorry for being a slacker.  My days have just been non stop busy.  I am not complaining, because I find blessings in all things, just it is super crazy.

I have been traveling so much these past few months.  I was invited to participate in doTERRA's Diamond Club.  Basically, Diamond Club is the Amazing Race of Network Marketing.  LOL.  I stole that from another Diamond Clubber.  It can be hard to explain what Diamond Club is to people.  An yes I get asked all of the time what it is or why I am traveling so much.  I don't mind, but it does get old.  So that is what I have been doing for the past 2 months.  I am half way.  Two months down, two more to go.

My kids are having a super summer thus far.  They have done everything from slip and slide, camping, horse back riding, sleep overs, trampoline fun, park hopping, trips to Vegas with mom, bug catching, swim lessons (begins in 2 weeks) library visits and so much more.  Eddie is amazing with them.  He keeps them so very busy.  I love the attention he gives to his girls.  He is so involved and I am so blessed to have him as a husband and father.  Those girls have such a wonderful example of what a good man is.  Thank you hon.

And now I say goodnight to you all and leave you with a taste of our summer so far.

Madison's Baptism

My oldest daughter Madison turned 8 on November 22nd 2011.  In my religion (LDS) when a child turns 8, they get to choose if they want to be baptized.  Madison made that choice with such drive and purpose. She was more then ready!!!

It was such a very special day.  Grandma and Grandpa Burgess came out from California to be there for the baptism.  Grandma played the piano for all of the songs and she also gave a wonderful talk on the Holy Ghost.  Daddy gave a talk about Baptism and it was so special.  Brooklyn, Jacquelynn and Madions all sang a song together.  Although it did not go off as rehearsed, it was special in its own special way!

Daddy performed the baptism while Uncle Josh and Uncle Kim were the witnesses, and it was wonderful.

It was a very beautiful and special day!

So very behind!

We have been so busy in our home.  So busy that I have put off my blogging.  Luckily Eddie has been keeping up the Daddy's Outnumbered Page on Facebook.  That is another great way to keep up with our family.

So this past Christmas we put together a list of all the fun, festive things we wanted to do as a family.  We had a wonderful Holiday Season.

My most favorite thing we did was, going to Temple Square to see the Lights.  Eddie and the girls had never been to see the lights at temple square.  So off we went.

Basically how it went was, Crowded, freezing, beautiful, freezing, too many people, COLD!

So there you have it.  It was awesome, but it was FREEZING!

I am still here.....Just moved around a bit.

Yes, I am still here.  Yes I am still blogging about my life and my family.  I just found a fun blogging app on my iPhone.  Tumbler.  I love it.  So I took to blogging on Tumbler.  But I realized that not everyone knew that I was blogging on tumbler.  Then when I tried to post my Tumbler address, I had no idea what it was and how to find it.  So here i am back on blogspot.  I may just try to merge the two.

Well, Christmas has come and gone and here we are going on our second week of 2012.  That sounds so very strange.  Eddie's birthday is tomorrow, Madison is getting baptized on Saturday, our doTERRA business is taking off and life is, well, just as crazy as ever and I love it.
