". . . Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching comes the changes. . . The tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleanded surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will - to your surprise - miss them profoundly. . . Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey. . . For one day each of us will run out of tomorrows." -Pres. Thomas S. Monson

"Time Out" Weekend!

What amazing event for women! If you haven't heard of it.... it's time you find out! This event is put on by Deseret Book, and they travel the nation with it. The presenters and entertainers are fabulous. Each year they change/rotate, and this time we were blessed with some truly outstanding ones. We had Hilary Weeks & Jenny Jordan Frogley for our entertainment, and some of the presenters were Ardeth Capp, Mark Mabry {Reflections of Christ photographer}, Brent L. Topp, Kim Nelson, and the outstanding Kris Belcher!

It began Friday night, and we decided it would be some much more fun if we stayed the night up in Ogden together! And it was! :) We haven't had a sleepover with just us 3 girls in forever! The next morning we headed back up to Weber State for the rest of the day!
Kris Belcher was my favorite! She has had one amazing journey to tell the world, and some key insights that touch the heartstrings. :) We also got to meet up with Aunt Louise and Emily too! It was so fun to share the event with family!

Thanks mom for making this happen for me and Jennie! We love you so much!

Sledding with Hunter!

Wow! Hello again:) I have been a little out of the blogging world lately...sorry... between no computer and holidays, it just got pushed to the bottom of my priority list. But I'm back on!

Christmas was wonderful! Hunter was so much fun this year! He is so good at opening presents, and he would have been fine if all we gave him was the boxes and the wrapping:) I love it! He played a wonderful shepard in our Christmas program we put on at my Grandma's on Christmas Eve... him and his cousin Boston & Baylee were the shepards, and the other cousin's played the other parts. It's so cute to watch. They didn't have a clue what was happening but they liked it!

Christmas morning we ate breakfast with Nana and Papa at our house and opened all of our presents! It was so great. Tyler was the best! {I'm so excited about my new Cricut!!} I love you! Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for the rest of the day, which turned into a sleepover because of the awesome snow storm. It was wonderful!

Christmas always goes by way too fast! I love every minute though. {which is why I'm procrastinating taking down all my decorations, and I still turn on all my lights! I love me!}

We have loved sledding though! Hunter is so much fun! There is a park right by our house that has a soccer bowl with just the right size of hills for him to go down by himself too! He loves it! We also like to hook Jersey's leash to the sled and have him pull Hunter around. . . it's too funny! Jersey likes to take off fast though and it makes Hunter fly on his back. It's great! So, here's some of our latest sledding adventure pictures. . .



We love you Hunter!!
