Justin Williams Audition - Feelin Good

Shaving is a Chore!!

I have very sensitive skin, so I have found these items help me with no more nicks, cuts, razor rash or ingrown hairs. I know maybe TMI :-)

I find shaving a chore something I should do more often. I wish I could have laser but since I don't have enough money or never will, I must keep shaving on. I don't shave as often as I should or as often as my husband would like but I do try to shave for church on Sunday. Unless you see me in my black boots, which there is no guarantee that I have shaved (he he)

I have been blessed with very long legs, a feature I am proud of, but the up keep is heck. I used to have time to worry about such things, but there always seems to be a lack of hot water, with 7 girls in the house doing the same thing. Remember that day we couldn’t wait to start shaving, but now it’s just a pain.

I am sorry

I have been lost in thought, and heavy in heart. With my best friend gone so far way for a while and the death of my sister in law, I am afraid I am not my self, or at least the self I want to be right now.

I know the plan, and that the Lord is in charge. But distance in any fashion is still distance. I ache for my brother and long to hold my mother, someone who knows me better than I know myself. So I am sorry I have been so distant.

Mother's Who Know... you need to watch this :-)

I am trying, I got the lots of children part down :-)

"Reflections of Christ: Another Testament"

"Reflections of Christ: Another Testament" is now available at Deseret Book! Here is the slideshow and if you listen closely, you can hear the Angel Choir in the background, in which my sister Lisa had the opportunity to sing some "ooh"s and "aah"s !!

Rebecca Catherine Leonard (Dorfmeier)

This obituary was written by my brother Jared:

Our sweet Rebecca passed away on Tuesday, September 29, 2009. She was born on November 13, 1978, here in Fresno, Ca.

Rebecca will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and her sweet nature. Becca had a great ability to always make people feel welcome and loved. It is her kind, warm, spritely spirit that gave her the ability to be a wonderful, wife, mother, granddaughter, daughter, sister and especially friend.

Becca had a great passion for education and her children. In 2003, she received her BA in psychology from California State University, Fresno. She graduated with honors and as secretary in her student organization. However, over the past seven years her true enjoyment has been in the raising of her three children with Jared, her husband of nine years.

Becca will certainly be called blessed by many generations to come. She was loved by all who knew her. May she rest in her Heavenly Father's care until she can be reunited with her husband and children. She is survived by her husband Jared; and their three children Elijah (age seven), and twin daughters, Rachel and Lauren (age four).

Visitation will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Peachwood Ward, Fresno North Stake Center, 220 N. Peach, Clovis, CA. 93612 on Monday, October 5, 2009, from 12:00 noon to 12:45 p.m

A Memorial Service will begin in the Chapel at 1:00 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Interment will follow at Clovis District Cemetery.

Remembrances may be made to the Rebecca Leonard Memorial Fund, Account #1032008, at Golden One Credit Union, 1030 Shaw Ave, Clovis, Ca 93612. PALM MEMORIAL CHAPEL 2983 Tulare Street Fresno, Ca. (559)233-7267

How Quickly Things Can Change

When it comes to our lives we move through each day thinking there will be a next. I think we take for granted those around us that we love. I been thinking a lot this week as my sister in law Becca has been fighting for her life. How quickly things can change, how you never know day from day. Becca was so young, only 30, she was a mother of 3 beautiful children, a 7 year old boy and 4 year old twins girls.

Now my thoughts are with my brother Jared and the things he will have to face as he moves forward from this place. He will miss his sweetheart greatly but knows she is free of her pains. I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life, to know the plan and to know they will be together again as a family.

I pray we will look at each day as a gift to be cherished and not wasted away in trivial things. I hope we can all love one other and serve each other and how important it is to make memories each day.

Swine Flu - It's Here!!

At first when we all heard of the Swine Flu (H1N1) the news had us in hysteria, than we were calmed down to no worries, well I am here to say the swine flu is here and spreading. Thank goodness it is a mild version of what had been hitting the world and if caught early can be treated with anti-viral meds.

But we also need to be wise, if you have ANY symptoms STAY HOME!! Wash your hands; cover your mouth when you cough. Simple. I don’t think I am too keen on the vaccination (pushed through too fast), I say be wise.

Our exposure came from one the girls’ friend at school, and with closeness while dancing ballroom, it spread. After we got the positive diagnosis they made the decision to treat the whole family which was a very good idea since it than passed to me and Lindsay, than to the boys. So far Donny has been the only one symptom free. The kids have been going a little crazy with our 5-7 day quarantine. But we are on the mend.

This is what anti-viral meds look like for 6 children + Mom & Dad.
