Joy In The Journey
Some days are all to stressful. We (meaning I) live life sometimes with the idea of "I will do it tomorrow." I find myself saying that to my children and I have decided that one day tomorrow will too, be gone. As I was preparing a lesson for Sunday, I came across this wonderful Conference talk by President Monson, "Finding Joy in the Journey." If you have not read it, please do!
He stated:
"If you have children who are grown and gone, in all likelihood you have occasionally felt pangs of loss and the recognition that you didn't appreciate that time of life as much as you should have. Of course, there is no going back, but only forward. Rather than dwelling opon the past, we should make the most of today, of the here and now, doing all we can to provide pleasant memories for the future.
If you are still in the process of raising children be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will--to your suprise--miss them profoundly.
Send that note to the friend you've been neglecting; give your child a hug; give your parents a hug; say "I Love You" more; always express your thanks. Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. Friends move away, children grow up, loved ones pass on. It's so easy to take others for granted, until that day when they're gone from our lives and we are left with feeling of "what if" and "if only." "
Take time to reflect in your life how you feel and how you are doing.... I know there are things I need to improve on in mine. I have found my children to be much happier when instead of saying "we will do that tomorrow," doing it today! Such is life, time passes all to quickly and don't be the one years from now wishing you had done something yesterday.
Just want you all to know we love you!

Happy Birthday Molly
Molly turned the big 2 this month!
She loves her doll so she got a new one!
She also loves horses so she got a few of those too!
She also got some finger nail polish! She is our little DIVA.
I attempted a Minnie Mouse Cake...As you can see I need to take a cake decorating Class...but Molly knew who it was that's all that matters!
We hit up Cafe' Rio for Molly's Birthday Dinner!
We had to go to the Merry-go-Round with Aunt Amy!
Ella rode the Frog (named Ribbit Ribbit) Molly rode a Horse (named eddie) ha ha!

Ahhh Summer!
We had a blast this summer! We took the opportunity to go up to Utah to visit family and friends since Spencer had a break from school for a few weeks. What a fun time we had! I got to enjoy family...lunch bunch with some friends...movie nights with the hubby...carnivals...miniature golfing...reading my book...playing outside...the pool...snow cones...a 5K run over the 4th of July...the list goes on...of course Spencer didn't miss the opportunity to play some great golf with his friend! He needed some fun after studying so hard this past year!
The girls had so much fun with their grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends. Mostly they enjoyed having daddy around so much! Thanks to our family and friends for the fun! Enjoy the pics...
