More Pictures...

I have a ton of pictures that are so darn cute so I need to share more!!!!!!
Jeremy loved to play with the kids, he's the kind that loves to rough house (sometimes I wonder if he rememebers that you don't play the same way with kids as you do dogs!!!)

This isn't very good but Zander loves spiderman and this is him doing the hand where the web stuff comes out, so cute:)

Watching a movie, he even sat like this after they got jammies one and eventually fell asleep like this!

Of course the park again, we got some really good pictures there.

Wonderful Family....

I have the best family in the whole world!!!!! On both sides! I never wrote my 'Thankful' post for Thanksgiving and so this is it.... Our families are the best, the love and support they have given to us is so great, beyond just little thank you cards, I feel like I wouldn't be able to express my thanks or write enough thank you cards, I hope they know that what they do for us never taken for granted, ever, we pray every single day grateful for a couple things our family does continually since I've been sick.....
1. We have a wonderful wonderful basement apt. that we are living in, three bedrooms, bathroom, laundry room, kitchen, living room, dining/extra room, without my in-laws help we would not be living here and we are grateful every single day to be living in such a great house and grateful that my in-laws are able to help us out.
2. My family has kept my freezer stocked with food, yummy food that I grew up with so it's comfort food and I know I will like it! It has been so nice to heat something up for lunch when I don't know what to eat. I am so grateful for them taking the time to cook the food instead of just buying some store bought freezer food.
3. Family visits, from both sides, far or near, just coming and visiting us, taking time out of their busy lives to come see us and how we are doing. Especially my sister, all the times she has come up and she cooked and cleaned, we are so thankful and will never forget.
4. Our ward family because they bring us dinner a couple days a week and it is so nice to have a hot dinner!
5. Of course our two children! Chugs and Texas, I love snuggling them all day long, they never tire of snuggling with me.

Again we do not take any of this for granted, please know everyone that we love you and appreciate all you do for us. This is a challenging time in our lives that we didn't think we would have to face right now and are truly grateful for all the love and support.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just want to wish everyone a great and happy thanksgiving day! We are having a ball here and now we are just hours away from the food!!!! and I didn't have to do anything this year!!!! We tried taking family photos outside yesterday, too cold! Here are some more of my fun and adorable niece and nephew...

Family Fun....

Sorry again for the lapse in posts, I was getting ready for my sister and her family's arrival and then they came last friday and we have been having fun ever since! I just downloaded some pictures so I have proof of how adorable my niece and nephew are. My nephew is 2 and so cute! He loves superman and spiderman and pretends that he is them and so he has the funniest run when he is running like them, he is always playing, playing, playing!!!! My niece is 6 and getting so old! we play tic tac toe and I created a couple word searches for her, she loves to spell stuff to me and talk! It has been so fun having them here, they don't leave until the day after Thanksgiving so we have some time still to play.

Great Quotes...

I found some great quotes from a pile of papers from some Institute classes and since I like good quotes I thought I would share....

"All men are the spirit children of the Eternal Father. . .all have come or will come to earth at an appointed time, in a specified place, to live among a designed people. In all of this there is no chance. . .He alone determines where and when and among what people his spirit children shall undergo their mortal probation. . .all of these things operate by law; they are the outgrowth of long years of personal preparation in the preexistence." Bruce R. McConkie, A New Witness for the Articles of Faith, p.512-513

"We shall turn round and look upon it (death) and think. . .why this is the greatest advantage of my whole existence, for I have passed from a state of sorrow, grief, mourning, woe, misery, pain, anguish and disappointment unto a state of existence where I can enjoy life to the fullest extent as far as that can be done without a body. My spirit is set free, I thirst no more, I want to sleep no more, I hunger no more, I tire no more, I run, I walk, I labor, I go, I do this, I do that, whatever is required of me, nothing like pain or weariness, I am full of life, full of vigor, and I enjoy the presence of my Heavenly Father." Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, 17:142

"Let me assure you, Brethren, that some day you will have a personal priesthood interview with the Savior, Himself. If you are interested, I will tell you the order in which He will ask you to account for your earthly responsibilities: First -He will request an accountability report about your relationship with your wife. Have you actively been engaged in making her happy and ensuring that her needs have been met as an individual? Second -He will want an accountability report about each of your children individually. He will not attempt to have this for simply a family stewardship but will request information about your relationship to each and every child. Third -He will want to know what you personally have done with the talents you were given in the pre-existence. Fourth -He will want a summary of your activity in your church assignments. He will not be necessarily interested in what assignments you have had. . .but He will request a summary of how you have been of service to your fellow men in your church assignments. Fifth -He will have no interest in how you earned your living, but if you were honest in all your dealings. Sixth -He will ask for an accountability on what you have done to contribute in a positivve manner to your community, state, country, and world." David O. McKay. June, 1965 to a group of men in the Physical Facilities Dept. of the Church
