Feeling grateful

I am feeling overwhelmed with gratitude right now. My kids are healthy (ok not at the moment but generally speaking), we are happy, we have SO many blessings! I would feel ungrateful if I didn't share that. Last weekend our stake put on a cultural event about the life of Thomas S. Monson. It was INCREDIBLE! The spirit was so strong! You could see the testimonies of our amazing youth in their eyes and you could hear their testimonies in their voices as they sang their little hearts out. It will truly be something that I will never forget! FYI Sis Elaine Dalton the YW general president and President Beck general young mens president were in attendance... just sayin! It was such a neat experience, I just wish I had more pics to document it all.

Each week we were able to learn a little about the life of Thomas S. Monson. One of my favorite quotes of his is "Never let a project to be finished come before a person to be loved". I have adopted this as my new motto and strive to live by it. He truly is an incredible person and I know that he is God's prophet.


Trick or treating! The kids had so much fun and the weather was fantastic


Gotta stop and pose after each house, it's essential




We sure love aunt Cailey!


Some of the cousins


Ok seriously Molly is the cutest thing ever. She is OBSESSED with putting the kids underwear on her head. When I fold laundry, she digs through the pile to find all of her undie options. I've also caught her in Mckell's dresser searching for undies.


Well I learned something new about Mckell. She loves to decorate! I had no idea. She was nice enough to come with me to the church to decorate for the cultural event. She was in Heaven! She was arranging and rearranging, and then taking a step back to see the big picture. She was a huge help and we had fun working together!




Phew what a relief! One show down three to go!
