3 Peaks

My dad changed his plans last weekend to be with us! I was so grateful and happy.

I kept thinking during the weekend....doesn't he have to get back home? He is still here??

It was so great!

Unfortunately we spent until 12:30AM Friday night at the ER because of a barbed wire fence accident. Luckily just a few stitches later everything was fine!!


My handsome husband! And Angel baby!

I love the Book of Mormon. It brings so much peace and comfort in this troubled world.

My mom is a Glen Beck fanatica. She trys to tell me all kinds of troubling things. I tell her that I can't hear all the doom and gloom as a young mother. There is nothing I can do about it and I don't want to be upset by it. I can only do my best in my little sphere.



Speaking of my world here. I am enjoying being a soccer mom. Its that great time of year. I love to watch my children learn new things and try new things. It is awesome. I keep marveling to myself that I've been given these four beautiful children. Suddenly I feel like I have a large family. I have also been impressed with my patient husband. You should have seen how kind and patient he was with Andrea while he was trying to teach her to ride that little dirt bike. He was so happy when she finally got it that I think he wanted to cry. He is so soft hearted! He is always good to make sure that we are having family fun.



Some days I feel like this world is too complicated and hard. Sometimes on those days I call my sister and cry. Sometimes I think she is the only one to understand the little julie inside that often gives me trouble. I used to think that we would eventually grow up. But I am finding out more and more that inside of everyone is that little child. And that little child will never go away. I am grateful for all the learning and growing this life brings to me.

But often I feel content in my life and know my purpose and feel the hope and peace from the Savior.

A Moment in Time--Captured Forever

These photos taken by Melissa Mckinley from St. George. She is doing this amazing newborn special. $125 to come to your house. She brings her own lighting and props and you get 25 photos edited on disk. I thought she did an amazing job and it was so much easier for me to have her come to my home. Talk about a smokin' deal too!

My Bella's first smiles! Funny little grins! Soo adorable.

My day yesterday was a roller coaster.

I made omens with one person. And offended another. I felt horrible.

I was busy taking care of the kids.

I forgot Andrea at school because I thought for some reason that she would be on the bus and forgot that I told her I would pick her up on the first day. Luckily she was happy hanging out with her teacher!!! few!

I rented two units and sold a lock!

Then I rushed over to the soccer fields for Andrea and Lydia's games.

Spent a few hours there and was so happy watching my girls.

I came home, ate a quick dinner and rushed our kids to bed.

Then I felt the horribleness of offending my friend, took a bath and went to bed.

the end.

My thoughts this morning started with the words of the Book of Mormon. There is nothing like a dose of scripture and prayer to start my day. I texted my sister at 6:30 about how great that book is and she started reading it too! That is why we are here: To lift each other up and encourage each other on! I am excited to conquer the day. It is a great day--my son's birthday!

I just posted two new post's.
I'm going to be updating this a lot in the mornings because of all the fun events we are having lately. Stay tuned!

It's What Fun Is!

Lagoon!

We had a great time! But I can't believe that I don't have any pictures with Cheryl! I'll have to get copies of her pictures too. My Andrea was big enough to go on the big roller coasters! She went on Wicked!! It was awesome. I couldn't believe it! She didn't even know she went upside down! We spent the whole day there and came home in time for Stake Conference. I am so happy about our new stake presidency. I still remember when Bro. Roe came to our ward and spoke about spiritual twinkies. Bro. Callister was my seminary teacher and Bro. Stahli was in the stake presidency when Wade was in the bishopric at the college.
