Quote

I got this Quote today after Reading the first Chapter in Matthew today.(I read the scriptures at Readthescriptures.com)



No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God . . . and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven"
--Orson F. Whitney, in Kimball, Faith Precedes the Miracle, 98

He has a smile that will melt anyone's heart
He weighs 18.7 lbs
He adores his Brothers and Sisters
He is a terrible sleeper

I wish he could stay my Baby forever!!!

Connor is walking

My Baby started walking the day before Dale came home, so I guess that means my Baby is no longer a Baby he is now officially a Toddler, I was hoping to get a few more months of crawling out of him. :(

Hottie!!!!!

So I went to the Airport today to pick up my Husband from a 4 month deployment and I found this Hottie standing outside at the Delta Baggage claim I am thinking he is a keeeper(other than the nice 5 oclock shadow) Tell me What do you think?

Happy New Year

This is going to be short because my brain has turned to Mush!

It has been a great Year
In March we welcomed our Caboose Connor into our home and he has been a Joy even though he is the cause of his Mom's brain turning to Mush!!! :)
This Summer we took 2 great trips one to Utah and Idaho we had a wonderful time visiting friends and family in Utah and Visiting with our Best friends the Walkers in Idaho.
At the end of July we took a trip to Florida with Dale we had a lot of fun playing at the beach and swimming in the pool while Dale was at a training.
September 1st we said goodbye to Dale as he left to serve our Country and our Freedom once again.
The kids and I tried to make Christmas as good as possible without Dale here.

we sure do miss him and look forward to having him back home in just a couple of weeks.

Thank you honey for all the Sacrifices you make for our Family and our Country!!
