This picture was posted on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints facebook page and I just fell in love with it. It is absolutely beautiful. I haven't been doing very well with keeping up on my spiritual thoughts lately. Life has been so crazy busy but I know I need to make time to sit down and be spiritually fed. I found a quote today by Henry B. Eyring on marriage, "I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion's joy our own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion."
    I love this quote as well. It seems like in today's society there is so much that is coming between marriages. It seems like divorce is no longer a stranger to this society and that is very scary. We live in very trouble times Divorce courts are overflowing because couples have unsolved problems and they quickly turn to divorce. We have been promised that if we pray together as husband and wife and as a family that things will be easier. I once heard a quote that said, " A Family that prays together stays together." We need to let the Savior into our lives and make sure he is at the CENTER of our marriage.

Happy Birthday Tara!!

I am a day early but I have to go to Twin tomorrow and work so I thought I better do this tonight. Tomorrow is Tara and I's Birthday and I just wanted to wish her a Happy Birthday. I can not believe that we are going to be 28. Where have the years gone? I don't know how I am so lucky to have a twin like Tara. I am so thankful for all she has done for me. I cant even begin to count the times that she has been there for me whether it is 9:00 in the morning 9:00 at night or even 3:00 in the morning she is always there for me when I have needed someone to talk to. She has and always will be my BEST FRIEND... I don't know if she will ever really know how much she means to me and how grateful I am to have her as a friends and a sister for FOREVER!! We have been through so much together some of it has been wonderful other times have been hard. There have been times when we have Cried, Laughed till our stomach's hurt, Stressed, Worried and Rejoiced over some many things. We have spent so many hours just talking and I am so grateful for that. She has always been someone I have looked up to. She is a wonderful example and her Testimony has always been so strong and I have always strived to be more like her when it comes to that. She always finds the good in people. I hope she knows how much I love her and I hope she was a wonderful day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA!!! I LOVE YOU 



New Car and more Football...

Todd got to play in his second football game this weekend. We were very lucky that we only had to go to Pocatello for the game. The team from Idaho Falls was able to get the Holt Arena and they held a triple header there on Saturday Todd had the early game so we were up bright and early cause Todd likes to be at his games I swear at least three hours before... But it was a lot of fun to watch him play in the Holt Arena.

After Todd's game we decided to go look for a new car. We went to Salt Lake the day before and had no luck.. I have never been so frustrated with buying a car as I was while we were down there. We told the dealerships what we wanted and they would bring us something totally different. We spent 6 hours at one dealership and we still got no where. So I was so glad when things went to much smoother in Pocatello. We were really wanting to get a Tahoe but the dealership that we went to in Poky had this Chrysler Aspen. I had never heard of them till we saw this one. I am so happy about our new car and I feel VERY SAFE in it, which was a must:)

WELCOME HOME TODD

Madison just loves being outside it is so hard to keep her inside when the weather is so nice. So last Wednesday when I was babysitting we decided to go outside and color on the sidewalks. Todd had been gone for two weeks and he was coming home this night so I asked Madison if she wanted to write "WELCOME HOME UNCLE TODD" and she got so excited and yelled "YES".... So we wrote on the sidewalk a cute little welcome home for Todd. Madison had to show everyone that came over what she did that day. She is such a cutie and so much fun.
