The Reinert Adventures: The Priceless Gift of Happy
http://thereinertadventures.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-priceless-gift-of-happy.html
Friday, July 17, 2015. The Priceless Gift of Happy. Jimmy Fallon ended up in the hospital recently and had to spend 10 days in the ICU hoping his finger made a full recovery. That's not what this blog post is about.well kind of. When he came back on air this week he was talking about reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl while in the hospital and Jimmy decided that being on air and making people laugh, who are in the ICU or at home, was his life's meaning. Brie Manoel all the way in Austra...

The Reinert Adventures: May 2015

Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Zachary's 2nd Birthday: The Railroad Museum. Zachary turned two and I'm, of course, completely traumatized. He is getting so big and it is rude. But the fun thing is that he is becoming more and more of a person with his own likes and dislikes. And I wanted his birthday to center around one of his biggest likes.and that is trains. I knew it was going to be a hit as we got closer to the museum and he saw a train and he started saying, "TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN! He took a picture...

The Reinert Adventures: Easter Hike 2015
http://thereinertadventures.blogspot.com/2015/07/easter-hike-2015.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. We're trying to make Easter a holiday about Jesus Christ and spring time for my kids. We're shying away from Easter bunnies coming with loads and loads of candy for them to eat and trying to focus more on the beautiful earth that Heavenly Father made for us and the wonderful promises of the Easter season. In that spirit, last year Aaron and I decided that we wanted an Easter hike to be part of our family tradition. Zach immediately picked up an impressively sized rock. Hello friend...

The Reinert Adventures: June 2015
http://thereinertadventures.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29, 2015. My Personal View on my Religion and Marriage. I posted, what I thought was a neither here nor there status about the recent marriage ruling in the U.S. and got a little bit of backlash of people telling me that I was wrong for siding with the new marriage laws or telling me to review my religions stance on the matter. Which was a little rude. For those of you who don't know what I wrote on my status, it was,. Avoiding the whole "Does God think that new marriage laws are right?

The Reinert Adventures: A Roller Coaster Life
http://thereinertadventures.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-roller-coaster-life.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. A Roller Coaster Life. Aaron was on a pretty constant supply of morphine for awhile at the end of last year. The battle between wanting to be coherent and present but not in extreme pain was an everyday issue. In the evenings especially, he wanted to sit quietly and talk with me. He wanted to make sense and he wanted to understand what I was saying. And getting pregnant really quickly and finally ending up in the hospital. We talked about how comforting it was to always know...

The Reinert Adventures: September 2014
http://thereinertadventures.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 20, 2014. First People to Know I was Pregnant. It was a really crazy summer for us. As you all know by now, we moved to Las Vegas. It took us nearly 5 months to sell our house (we started trying to sell it in April). Luckily, we had a furnished apartment that we could move into rent free for the summer so that we didn't have to worry about paying rent AND mortgage. Until around June 16th. We have been there over at month at that point and they gradually stopped seeing Zach and I a...

The Reinert Adventures: Easter Sunday
http://thereinertadventures.blogspot.com/2015/07/easter-sunday.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. This Easter was two special occasions. It was General Conference weekend and Easter. For Mormons, this is like, the ULTIMATE April weekend. Basically it is Church all weekend with Easter festivities in the middle. I love when the two events run into each other like this. Zach lining up his cars for Boyd K. Packer. Sydney sleeping through everything. Zach immediately put it over his body and it pretty much stayed there the rest of the night. Sydney admiring her new blanket. When Zac...

Thursday, October 30, 2014. 25 Week Baby Bump. Since I knew that I was going to be over halfway through my pregnancy by Halloween, I started thinking of what I could dress up like, to incorporate my baby bump. I was especially excited because I've heard and witnessed that the second pregnancy, you get bigger faster, so I was planning an even more epic baby bump. I'm technically entering into my 7th month of pregnancy so.I should have a really good baby bump, right? Saturday, October 25, 2014. That was ho...

The Reinert Adventures: Cub Scout Treasure Hunt
http://thereinertadventures.blogspot.com/2012/05/cub-scout-treasure-hunt.html
Thursday, May 3, 2012. Cub Scout Treasure Hunt. What got us through? Aaron telling the boys that we would do a compass course at the end of all of it. Today was the pay off for the boys. This morning, I started filling up water balloons. 125 water balloons. I did it in two shifts. I did 70 this morning. This is what the water balloon looked like. I sprayed the dogs ONCE while we were outside and this is as close as they would come for the rest of the morning. So, I got out the tea and set the oven to war...

Sunday, November 23, 2014. Infinite Things to Be Thankful For. It's November and so it's thankfulness month so this post might seem a little trite. We can all be thankful for a couple things for a month out of the year. But this week, I've gotten a giant dose of perspective. And I realized that I needed to write this post. Maybe not for anyone else, but for me. This post isn't about that story. This post isn't about D-day. It's about all the things that I want to remember that I was grateful for. I'm gra...
