"We would do well to slow down a little, focus on the significant, lift up our eyes and truly see the things that matter most.
Strength comes not from frantic activity, but from being settled on a firm foundation of truth and light.
It comes from paying attention to the divine things that matter most." Elder Uchtdorf

Thieves in the Night

Is there any way I could love these boys more?!?
Nope.

My heart has been stolen,
never to be returned.
I will be eternally grateful.
Thank you.
I Love You!

Best zoo trip EVER by Levi

Have you ever gone to the zoo and walked around and looked at all the beautiful animals while they just lay around and do nothing... at all.... And then did you think to yourself, "Gosh I wish something awesome would happen!" That has definitely happened to me but not on May 15th 2009.. that day, we had the best zoo trip EVER!






WARNING: Viewer discretion is advised. Animals were harmed in the making of this blog post!






Last May when we went to the zoo we were lucky enough to walk up to the tiger enclosure just as a bit of a commotion began amongst the tigers. They were running all over and something small and brown was running from them. The whole chase scene was awesome and yes, tigers can shake a squirrel out of a tree by pushing against it over and over to get it swaying. after they caught the squirrel they let it go a few times and would chase it down again, and then they played with it till it stopped twitching, and then they played with it in the water for a while and it was AWESOME. The best zoo trip EVER.




I got a pretty good picture of a peacock too!

Gideon's Christmas wish! by Levi

The other day I asked Gideon, "What do you want for Christmas this year?" And he said "Iwant a new Daddy for Christmas." As you would imagine I was a little bit hurt by this, but as I wondered where I could get some coal, he explained why he wanted a new daddy for Christmas. "I want a new Dad and he would be exactly like you" he explained. "And I will call him Levi #2, and he can play with me when you go to school!" I thought for a second and asked "what will we do with him when I get home from school?" Gideon thought a bout that, and then added "He can play with Joseph when you get home and I will play with you."
He is so sweet, and I am lucky to be so loved. I guess he will have to settle for having me home for two weeks over the break.
