How sweet is this

All three of my girls coloring together. So happy they love lovs each other!

Sad girl...

Little (as Mimi calls her) didnt take a nap all day. She was so sad all day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Whew....

I just ran for the first time in a long time. A very long time. AND it felt so good. It was slow. And hard. And the cold wind was blowing. And I was pushing a stroller. And my baby cried for all but 27 seconds. BUT I DID IT! And I want to do it again tomorrow. And the next day and the next. I feel better about myself already. Go me!!!

Thankful

This morning I had the opportunity to meet a lady from our ward. She doesn't live very far from us and needed a ride to the church. She had signed up to help clean the church, but doesn't have a drivers license or a car so she relies on the people around her. I am so very thankful that she called me to give her that ride. My heart is truly full this morning. What a rough life she has had in the 32 years she has been on this earth; yet she has learned to look past that! She was addicted to drugs for years and has been drug free for over 9 years. When she was 15, she placed her baby up for adoption so that he could have a better life. She did not graduate from high school so now she is working on getting her GED. I don't know how to describe or explain how I feel this morning other than how grateful I am for all that I have. I am truly blessed. I have a wonderful husband that loves me and our girls. He does what he does for our family, so we can have the things that we need. I have 3 beautiful and healthy daughters. I have a house that is a safe haven from the evils of the world. AND I have the gospel. I have a knowledge of my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know I am a daughter of a loving God. I hope I remember the feelings I felt this morning. The feelings of adoration I now have of this sweet lady; who is also a daughter of God.

Primary Program

We were lucky enough to have both sets of parents here for the girls Primary Program. The girls have the scriptures memorized and said their parts beautifully. Great job girls!!! We are all so proud of you!

Emery's scripture: Second Nephi 32:3: Angles speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do. Ava's scripture: Joseph Smith History 1:17: ...I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other-This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!

Halloween 2011

Ava the butterfly

Kinlee the Tutu Princess

Miss Pinkalicious herself I know its been a while. Which a while is really quite the understatment. I KNOW! But I'm going to try and hop back on the blog bandwagon.

Josh took a couple of pictures of the girls at the church while I was helping set up and then the battery died on the camera. We got a couple more from some other ladies at church, but I'll have to get them later. Pretty sure the book Pinkalicious was written for my little pink girl. Doesn't she look JUST like the book? Happy Happy Halloween!!!
