Spring/Summer

I had to change my picture and background because I am in such a need of warmth. I am tired of being cold all the time and the weather is so yucky outside.

I wish Phil had not seen his shadow and that Spring was right around the corner so it would warm up around here.

No Longer Babies

OH MY! My babies are going to be 8 next month and will be baptized in March! I can't believe it has been 8 years already, where has the time gone. It has been such a blessing to have them as a part of our family.

The boys have decided that they want to have there own rooms. So on Saturday that is what happened. They helped clean out two of the downstair bedrooms and helped move their stuff from upstairs to their new rooms. I have to say I miss having them upstairs, but they are SO happy to have a room to themselves. Even though they are next door to each other, they miss sharing a room together. They asked if they could move back upstairs and I told them no. That these rooms were their until they went on their Missions. Nolan's comment was "Man, We should have stayed upstairs!". Silly guys! Tonight Leland asked if he could just lay with Nolan for a little while and read a book together and talk. Melted my heart! They have become such great friends to each other and it makes a Mama proud.

Paeton moved into the boys' old room and is LOVING the bigger room! Her little bed and dresser look so tiny in her bedroom now. I have decided that I am going to turn her old bedroom into my office/craft/whatever I want to call it room. I have some fun ideas for the space, but have to finish painting the upstairs and getting the kitchen cabinets done (stripping the paint off, sanding and varnishing them), wish me luck!

My Spirits are back

What a wonderful Christmas it has been. I am thankful for those of you who helped boost me up again. Thank you for you kind words and the blessings that were brought to our house. I could not have asked for a better Christmas. The Spirit of Christ is feeling my heart once more and I am not feeling so low and lonely. Things will continue to get better and I pray that the Lord will stay by my side as I continue through this journey. Love you!!

Christmas Season


And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7

This year for reasons unknown to me, I am feeling a little lost at times. I am grateful for our Heavenly Father and the knowledge He has to offer me. I am grateful for Jesus Christ and the sacrafice He made for me. I pray that I can find the peace and joy this Christmas Season as I celebrate the birth of Christ with my family.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Fun at the Fort Worth Zoo

Alexis and Nolan
Love this photo and had it turned into a black and white photo.

Nolan and I on the train at the Zoo.

The Lion and his female were separated from each other and he would ROAR really loud for her. It was an eerie sound and I would not want to be in the jungle hearing his roar.


The Tiger's were beautiful to watch.

The Snow Tiger was fun because if you put your hands on the glass it would come up and play with you.

This Hippo was rescued from Poachers. But the Poachers got his horn before he was rescued.

There were 5 Giraffe's at the Zoo. They are so beautiful to look at and amazing to watch as they ate the grass.

The Pink Elephant is the size of a real Elephant and the kids look like ants compared to it.

Pink Flamingo's

Leopard

Just like off of Lion King

The Turtles were in all the pounds at the Zoo.

The Meercats were funny to watch. They were sunny in the sun and would turn and look at us.

This guy was fun to watch. He had this sack and went over the waterfall and covered up his face and would pull the sack off his face to see if any one ws watching and if we were he would cover his face up again. Nolan got a great laugh from watching him.



We had a lot of fun this day at the Zoo with our friends the Ritchie's. Nolan bought Leland, Paeton and himself a Monkey to remember the day we went to the Zoo.
