Valentine Tradition

I am not sure at what point the tradition started. I think it had something to do with my friend Jessica who always makes chocolate chip pancakes for her kids. I try to avoid sugar overload with my kids and so decided that maybe as a treat would be a fabulous idea. I know the heart shapes started about 4 years ago when I decided to drive around town until I found forms. I finally found them at Lehi roller mill and now we are hooked on heart shaped chocolate chip pancakes. This year just as every other, we did our pancake tradition.

Unfortunately Rachael couldn't participate in our tradition due to her possible gluton intolerance, so we made her an omelet with sausage. Not as festive, but she loved it none the less. I was thinking though about the future. Maybe every year as my kids get older we will have traditional Leonard breakfast at our house. Kids husbands/wives and grandkids invited for heart shaped chocolate chip pancakes and a buffet of yummy breakfast favorites. Until then, I love my sweet babies. They are the light of my life and it sure is fun doing something that they love so much to show my love for them.

Happy Valentines day my valentine babies. Happy Valentines day!

What I Would Tell My Younger Self

Last week was a really tough week for our Bishop and family. First, my husband went out of town on business and it happened to overlap with our daughter and her babies visiting us. So, three days that she was here, he didn't get to see her. Then, he flew back into town Wed. around town and then we drove our daughter to the airport Thursday morning at 4:30. Yes, that is early, and yes, we did go back to bed when we got home. ;o) Then he worked all day Thursday and I will spare you the details but it was a bad day. His non-boss boss was in a foul mood and he got the brunt of it.  Thursday evening he had the yearly ward audit and didn't get home until close to 10. Friday was another fun filled day at work, and then Friday evening and Saturday were filled with youth conference which he attended and was a chaperone for during the entire event. Sunday was a rough "bishop" day that he couldn't talk about, and quite frankly, I didn't want to hear about.  That leads us...

Officially in the Limelight!

I had an interesting experience this evening. Without divulging more than I should, let's just say that I was told that people in my area are concerned that I have not kept my information about the stake changes private until the appropriate time. They were concerned that because I dated my blog post for the date of my writing some people thought that I had said something before the stake split announcement. Let me assure you that this isn't the case. I date my posts for the day that I write them but I didn't post them until Nov. 9th, the afternoon of the day of Stake conference. With that being said, this experience brought to my attention how much being a bishop's wife really is somewhat like being on show for everyone. Sometimes you are scrutinized and it is good, and sometimes it isn't so good.  I felt truly inspired to write and keep this blog so that people can get an idea of what a normal bishop's family is like. This however can be difficult because I ...
