Our little nose picker

FUNNY! Oliver fell asleep with his finger in his nose. We'll keep this picture around through his dating years!

She's growing up!

I just like this picture of Sabree. She is starting to look so grown up now! She's such a good girl and a great helper around the house. At church, I am her Primary teacher. It has been so fun to listen to her comments in class. She really has a sweet spirit and has a love for the gospel. She teaches me so much every day. I'm so proud of her!

Busy Baby!



I had to post this picture because it is a perfect example of how busy Jaylee is. You cannot open the fridge or anything for that matter without Jaylee right behind you unloading the contents! She is into everything! She really makes me laugh though. She leaves a path of destruction everywhere she goes. Seriously, it's funny!

Family Home Evening

Tonight we had a great Family Home Evening. It's at times like tonight that I am so grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am grateful for Family Home Evening, a specific time set aside to be together as a family, to strengthen our relationships and to learn more about the gospel. We had a great lesson and then spent time on a Thanksgiving activity. We made a turkey by tracing the kids feet and hands. The feet became the body of the turkey and the hands were the feathers.


We ended FHE with a family prayer in behalf of Luke's Grandma Turner who is in the hospital in critical condition. It's at critical times like these that we realize how important God is in our lives. He loves us and has a plan for us. I'm grateful for the Priesthood that has been restored to the earth. I'm grateful for the ordinances that are performed through the Priesthood. I know that we can be sealed in temples through the Priesthood making it possible for us to live with our families through all eternity if we live worthy, righteous lives. Grandma Turner is a great example of righteous living. She has faith in Jesus Christ and has taught all of her children this same faith which has been passed down to the next generations. I'm very grateful for that! We take great comfort through the gospel at challenging times and I feel very blessed to be a member of it. We will pray for the best to help and comfort Grandma and all family members as she goes through these challenges. We love you Grandma!

Toothbrush is the Trick



Jaylee looked so cute for church today. She was in her new birthday skirt (thanks Jill for the present) and shirt. As all of you are well aware, 1 year olds are not really easy during church. We never make it all the way through Sacrament Meeting. Today however, we found the trick...a toothbrush. Everyday when I do Jaylee's hair, she sits on my bathroom counter and is totally occupied and holds pretty still playing with a toothbrush. We decided to take a toothbrush to church and see if she sat as still during church if she played with one. It worked! She did the best she has done since we could pin her in her car seat. Next time you feel frustrated at church with your baby, try pulling out a toothbrush!
