To my Harris and Goldie,

We had so much fun in Canada with you. We went on a 7-mile hike by accident on one of the days (we thought it was 4) and I was completely shocked and amazed at how well you both did. You had to miss your nap and it started raining on us so you were cold. Harris literally didn’t complain the entire time, and was happy and content on dad’s back. Goldie complained a tiny bit but I’m surprised it wasn’t more. I get it, sister!

As I said on Instagram the other day, I know that I say this a lot, but I REALLY don’t think I’ll ever get over how lucky we are that you are in our family. We love adventuring with you and showing you how beautiful the world can be. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Maybe it’s better said like this; we love how you show us how beautiful it is all over again.

As we were at dinner last night at my Uncle Bruce’s house, we were talking with my aunt and just delighting over how the simple things make you smile most and how easy it is to make whole world light up. Smile at you funny, making a silly noise, tipping you upside down…they all bring such sweet laughter and joy to your little bodies. I think we can really learn a lot from you. It’s so easy to get caught up in the sparkly things of this world, but I really am always most happy when I enjoying the simple things that money can’t buy. A light breeze on my skin when it’s the perfect temperature. A bike ride because my body is healthy and I can. The pretty Utah pines as we drive up the canyon.

I think being a mama is a gift for many reasons, but one of the best for me has been to remember to simplify. You have made the world so pretty for me. Life is happy when it’s simple. I think we all have what it takes to be truly joyful each day. You don’t find the happy life; you create it.

In the past month, you have learned to crawl my Goldie girl. You saw your brother do it and it would frustrate you to see him go so fast and far without you! Your little tiny legs moving slowly, one after the other, has been so cute to watch. You are getting more sassy by the day, especially the last couple of days since we have been home from Canada. I’m not sure if you’re missing our adventures, or if you’re mad that we made you sit in your car seat for 12 hours straight. I mean, you did great on the way home so your complaining is a little delayed, sis!

Harris – your blonde hair with the curls and your big, blue eyes absolutley have your mother wrapped around your finger. I mean, come on. I know I’m biased because I’m your mama, but you are so incredibly delicious I can hardly handle it. Those chubby legs and those high-pitched little squeals that you make when you are excited kill me. Kill me!

I love you two. Thanks for being your mama and daddy’s joy.

I posted this the other day on my IG stories and s I posted this the other day on my IG stories and so many of you were like, “😅 Good to hear!!” So I’ll say it again for those of you who need it.

My twins are almost 5 (in July) and it is SO.MUCH.EASIER 😭 at this age 🤣🤣🤣 Tyler and I actually cannot even believe it. Traveling with them is actually 100% FUN and not 100% exhausting like it was before 😂

So...if you need to hear it...you’ve got this. You’ll make it through the insane toddler stage.

Every day is a gift AND it’s really hard and I’m here to tell you that it gets SO MUCH EASIER! 👏🏻

JUST BECAUSE IT’S HARD DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE NOT GRATEFUL!

To all the twin moms who came before me and said 5 was easier, you were right. And thank you 😂 #twinmom #momoftwins
“Mix a little foolishness with your serious plan “Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.” - Horace

For me, one of the best things in the world about being a mom is that they help me to remember the things I once knew, but forgot. Being fully present and accepting what is in the moment, being silly, getting SO EXCITED, and seeing the world with magic.

We all knew these things once. We just forgot a little. 💗💙 #parcellsundayselfie 4/11/21

What is your favorite thing you’ve learned from the beautiful children in your life?
The best part of this phase of life with little ki The best part of this phase of life with little kids is it’s like Team Parcell, you know? Our little group. We can go anywhere and do anything together and just be so happy and grateful that it’s us 4 together. 😭

This is what I want for all who want it. It’s why I absolutely love teaching the tools I do over at @thesliceofsun for women with infertility. They allow you peace of mind in this really hard trial. Why I LOVE you and understand those of you who are in the thick of it so much.

Feeling so grateful for the people in my life including all of you. What a wonderful world 🌎 #lovethesepeople #familyvacations
A day so good that Harris got his blanket, wrapped A day so good that Harris got his blanket, wrapped himself up and fell asleep on the floor at my sister @jocelynstimpson’s house after dinner 🤣 Beach, pool, hot tub and sunshine with my FAVORITE team! #danapointharbor #californiaspringbreak

Date night with my best friend! 💙 Our favorite Date night with my best friend! 💙 Our favorite date night is trying somewhere delicious to eat and sitting and talking and catching up without distractions. And then sometimes we end up doing a little grocery shopping too 🤣

What is your fav thing to do with your fav person? #datenight
Happy Easter! I’ve been thinking a lot about WHY Happy Easter! I’ve been thinking a lot about WHY I want to learn so much more about my Savior as I get older and I’ve decided it’s because I need Him more.

Children don’t have the voice of the adversary in their ears all the time. We do.

My Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ SAVES me from the chaos. He is the peace where it doesn’t make sense for peace to exist.

He knows me and cares for me with a perfect love. The only thing I can slightly compare it to is the love I have for my children. A love so big that forgiveness is possible over and over...and over again.

A love so big He was willing to give His life so we could be saved.

I’ll never be able to repay that debt but I’ll spend every day I have in gratitude and use His atonement that He made for me. For each of us. It will not have been in vain for me.

God be thanked for the matchless gift of His Divine Son 🙏 He is risen! #heisrisen #comeuntochrist #easter2021
Bluebird day up at Snowbird! It was 70 degrees and Bluebird day up at Snowbird! It was 70 degrees and we kept trying to figure out to take off layers while also protecting ourselves if we fell 🤣 This is my mom and step dad - my ski buddies who I always go skiing with!

I ended up getting sunburned on my arms 😂Welcome to spring skiing in Utah!! 😍 ❄️ ⛄️ #snowbirdresort #springskiing #greatestsnowonearth
