Merry Christmas 2015!

This year my beautiful Maya turned 15!

 I can hardly believe it. The time really does go so fast.
 I wish she could stay little forever but I am loving what
 fun she is to have around, and what a good friend she is
 to me too.


 

 Dallin turned 13 this month on the 2nd - two teenagers!
With all the renovations and moving we didn't get to
celebrate his birthday until Christmas Eve. He didn't
seem to mind too much.

 

 

Merry Christmas Eve 2015

 

In the new house!

 

 

Happy 17th Anniversary

For our 17th anniversary we moved into the new house we bought in November on 22 Thunder Trail. After months of renovations it was nice to finally have the process semi-finished. We learned that buying a home is stressful, renovating a home is stressful, and moving is stressful (but we already knew that!). I love this man and I'm thankful that he is the one on this journey with me. It's a difficult life but it's a good life. Here's to 17 more years!

 

 

 

 

I Know the Scriptures are True

The new primary theme this year is, "I know the scriptures are true". Every primary child got a new Book of Mormon and a little bag to put it in. Ava was thrilled with her new book. She carried it around with her for days.

On Monday night she wanted to sleep with her Book of Mormon. In the middle of the night she woke up sobbing. I went into her room and she explained, "Mommy, I can't find my scriptures! I need my scriptures to keep me safe!" I found her book had fallen onto the floor. I handed it to her and she cuddled up next to it and went right back to sleep. It was the sweetest thing to see her little face next to her scriptures, completely at peace.

It was a good reminder to me and that when I'm afraid, unsure or uneasy I can seek out my scriptures too. They always bring me peace.
