"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

My Christmas Card to You...

This music speaks to my soul and is the epitome of the Christmas Season.

This is for you, Babe.

This guy has a point.



But 8 out of 5 podiatrists say that studying at home is 6 bajillion times better for your marriage. :)

Seriously... February?!?

Wow. Time flies when you're having fun (or small children). :)

Between switching bedrooms (with the desktop), to switching computers, to switching photo storage devices, I just haven't pulled it together enough to post.

I have made another goal to make a goal to update my blog regularly. I'm committed.

And, I'LL PROVE IT.

My gorgeous little Superheroes. I've held off the superheroes for a long time, but with an almost 5 year-old, it was inevitable that he would discover their "superness". Gideon has a Leap pad book that is about Spiderman, and as a result, he has been pulling the costume out of the toybox and climbing walls. We even had Spiderman along for the ride the other day while running errands.

I love my boys!

This video is shaky because Joseph insisted on being on my lap. I had to get his muscle sound effects, though.

Joseph Singing

Joseph loves to sing! I finally caught him singing while he was waiting for his breakfast... he usually quits as soon as he sees the camera.

He is such a joy... We love you Joseph!

"Protecting" My Children

I want to keep my children safe.

But I don't want to stifle their sense of adventure, or the development of their natural gifts and talents. I'm going to work harder to strike a balance.

This is an amazing story... I loved it. It reminded me that we need to allow our children to accomplish what they can, instead of what we think they should be able to. And it reminded me of some of my own goals, and made me want to work harder.

This tells the story.
