Our Snow Angel

Winter Fun

I am a little behind on this. Earlier this month we rode Trax to temple square and saw the lights. It was so beautiful. We also went to Clark Planetarium.

Cute Gavin

Yesterday when we woke up there was snow all over the ground. Gavin ran to the window and said, "Mommy, it's a mess outside!"

a cute story

The Little Lost Girl

A little girl and her mother went shopping in a very large mall one afternoon. After being in a major store for some time the little girl grew tired and sat down on the floor to wait for her mother to finish the shopping. While she watched the people moving around her, the little girl's mother moved on to another department not knowing that the little girl didn't follow her. Soon the little girl realized that her mother was nowhere to be seen and she started to cry.

One of the clerks soon heard her and came to ask her why she was crying. The little girl sobbingly told her that she had lost her mommy. The clerk took her by the hand and they set out to find the lost mommy. After a few minutes had gone by the clerk had an idea. She asked the little girl if she thought that her mommy would recognize her voice, and the little girl nodded her head.

The store clerk took her to the counter and lifted her up so that she could reach the microphone to the store's PA system. The clerk told her to talk into the mike and her mother would hear her voice and come to get her. The sweet little girl held the mike close to her mouth and with tears running down her cheeks and a sob in her voice she said:

'I would like to bear my testimony. I know this Church is true.'

Gavin's Prayer

Last night Gavin said his prayer totally by himself. It was sooo darling. It went something like this:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank Thee for this day. Thank Thee for Jesus. Thank Thee for jammies. Thank Thee for ABC's. In the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Emma's "real" 1st day of school

This is Emma's real first day. She went all on her own. This photo is with her teacher, Miss Heather.

Emma's 1st Day of School

This picture is on Emma's 1st day of school. This was right before she got on the bus. I (mommy) got to go with her this day. She had a blast and she didn't even want to sit by me on the bus on the way home. She wanted to sit by her new friend.

DINOSAURS!

We recently went to Thanksgiving Point to the Dinosaur Museum. It was packed because it was "2 dollar tuesday" but the kids had a blast.

Gavin's Birthday!

Gavin turned two and we had a fun party for him. He got lots of "fies" (trucks and cars) and some cool duds. Thanks for everyone who came!

We moved!

We recently moved from Logan to Orem. We really do miss Logan. I especially miss Emma being in preschool. Not because she was away from home, but because she loved it so much. But we have the fall to look forward to. She now has most of her cousins close to play with and that is a plus. I love being close to family and Ben now has a wonderful job which has been a tremendous blessing to us.
