"Our Father in Heaven has given us, His children, much more than any mortal mind can comprehend. Under His direction the Great Jehovah created this wonderous world we live in . God the Father watches over us, fills our hearts with breathtaking joy, brightens our darkest hours with blessed peace, distills upon our minds precious truths, shepherds us through times of distress, rejoices when we rejoice, and answers our righteous petitions." Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God," Ensign, Nov. 2009

Happy Birthday

Today is Paul's 31st birthday. We cooked him his favorite dinner shrimp, and his favorite dessert cherry cheesecake. Julia also said he needed some balloons so I blew up balloons. We put little paper messages inside some of them and the others I put stickers on that we're some of the things he brought to us as a family. I also helped the girls make cards for daddy. When he came home Julia ran to the door and said no dad you can't come in yet wait right there! She knew I was finishing up Haley's card. When I was done she ran back to get him. When Haley saw the balloons she was so excited that she would not eat dinner. She kept pointing at them and saying something incoherent to me and Paul.



We love Paul because he is the BEST daddy and Husband in the world. He's FUNNY and plays SILLY games and sings silly songs with the kids. He shared the gospel with me. So I now have an eternal family, and all the blessings that come with it. He has brought so much goodness into my life and now our childrens lives. Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Paul! I can not believe we forgot it. Well, I actually can. That is the story of my life these past few weeks. Forgetting everything.

But anyway, we love you, Paul!! You and your family are so awesome. We wish you were closer so we could see you more often. Even though it is belated, we hope you had a really fun day!

Happy Belated Birthday! I too have been a slacker remembering everyone's birthdays. Hope you had a good one...it was nice seeing a little look into your day with the slide show.

Hope all is going well and we miss you guys...we are planning on visiting again after mom and dad get back.
