First Snowfall!

Today I woke up to such a beautiful surprise, the first snowfall. There is just something about it that is so peaceful and sereal. Josh yells from the kitchen, "Mom, its hot chocolate weather!" out the window I see the 5 year old neighbor girl all bundled up and rolling, jumping and eating the snow without a care in the world:) It's joyfull! I am so thankful to live in such a beautiful place. I think it is time to pull out the heating blankets and let the holiday's begin!

The Three Stooges!


So today I just wanted to write about the boys in my life. I am so greatful for these three who make me laugh, smile, work, cry, play, clean, cook and make memories and I am greatful to do so. First there is my monkey, Joshua. He has such a joy for life and just loves to be loved! He loves adventure and makes the most out of being a kid. Then there's my handsome son Jordan. He has such a versatile personality and just loves to talk. He has grown up so much in the past six months and he never siezes to amaze me. I love his smile and it makes me giggle to think about how much he is obssesed with his hair:) Now my sweetheart! I truely am greatful for all that he does for me and our family. I am so thankful he is so patient with me and my short comings and I know I am not the easiest person to live with sometimes. He is such a unique person and it is so nice to know that he is always there to listen when I need someone to talk to. Thankyou my boys for being there to make me smile, hold my hand and treat me as a princess! I love you!

Pumpkins! Pumpkins! Pumpkins!




Well folks it is that time of year that my family and I look forward to every October. My favorite Uncle David invites us to his pumpkin patch for a campfire dinner and the opportunity to pick out our own pumpkin. It is always fun to see my kids each year search and scavage for just the right one, it is like a treasure hunt and everyone gets a treasure! We love going each year and enjoy the crisp cool air, beautiful sunsets, exotic animals and visiting with realatives. I am so greatful for this tradition that my dads bother started and I will treasure the memories we make there each year. I know some day he will probably sell his farm so I will just hold on to those opportunities as long as we can and always be greatful for Uncle David's kindness and generosity to our family!


Thats the end folks!

An amazing moement in my heart

Well I know its been a few months since I started this blog but I am still slowly learning how it all works. I am inspired by my daughter's blog who is away at college and trying to follow her good example. I had the most amazing experience at church today while in sacrement meeting. I began to think of all the walking miracles in our ward and how blessed we have been. I realize so many families have been challenged and tested in many ways and it is so amazing to me that I am surrounded by so many strong and faithful people. I am so humbled and strenghthened by their faith and strength. Through all the obstacles that have come they're way they are all still so strong in their faith and commitment to the Lord and in the world that we live in today that is truely amazing. I am so greatful to be a part of such an amazing gospel family and I am so greatful for the knowledge of the gospel and the comfort it gives me each day. I know that bad or tough things happen to good people but that doesn't mean the Lord is not aware of us or watching over us, sometimes maybe he is just trying to strengthen us or use us as a tool to touch others hearts but he loves us, all of us and that is so reassuring to me.
