"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

Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th

We are grateful for our freedoms that we have, and for all the people who sacrificed their lives so we can have them. And for all the people serving in the military now who still fight and have the courage to stand up for our freedoms.  May God bless them and keep them safe while they are there.

This 4th of July we celebrated with some of our church family! We love them so much and are very grateful to have them as friends. I forgot my camera so I have no pictures. We ate, swam, and socialized. And finished with lots of fire works! What a day to remember. And great friendships to cherish.

Haley’s B-day party

This year we had Haley’s B-day party the day after her birthday because everyone had that day off work and would not be rushing to come, and it wouldn’t mess up any 4th of July plans already made. We had lots of fun. She got a lot of much needed summer clothes, which she wants to change several times a day now, a bubble blower, and a slip & slide from Aunt Kassie and Uncle Billy and Ally brought her swim suite! The little ones couldn’t figure it or work up the courage to do it by themselves so daddy would throw them down it. I’m sure he was wore out by the end of the day! Haley liked just running down it and getting sprayed by the sprinklers along the sides. After a few minutes my youngest sister Hunter, who is 17 decided she would show them how it was done. So I went and found her one of my old bathing suites. What a blast! Thanks for celebrating with us!IMG_0487  IMG_0481IMG_0483

Happy Birthday Haley Storm

 

A happy baby girl born into our family on July 2, 2007. You were the cutes little thing.  We love you very much and hope we teach you everything you need to know to have a happy life. You have a wonderful personality all your own. You are very strong willed. An excellent climber, and very adventurous. Who always seems to stay two messes ahead of Mommy!  You hate the sound of thunder, and high tail it to the house when you hear it, (the funniest thing!) You love to eat eat as you now say. You are a wonderful little sister, and will soon be a great big sister. Happy birthday little one. We love you to eternity and beyond!
