Sunday Survey

1. Where would you say your testimony is the strongest? Prayer and family home evening. my boys love family home evening and you dont think they are listening, but what they remember and repeat to you the following week amazes me. I know the three things we need to do to keep our kids safe is prayer and family home and scripture study. We also need to teach them by example. Let them see us praying and reading our scriptures. Then they will make prayer and Scripture study important to them ,because it is important to us.

2. What do you struggle with the most (church related)? Going to the temple.(it is so hard to find time to go with 3 little kids running around. and Personal Scripture study, after reading scriptures and a story the boys pick out for me to read each night, I am always to tired to read myself. I keep hoping President Hinckley will give us the Book of Mormon Challenge Again
3. Do you have your food storage? Yes, we try to order a little bit every month. I Spend the same amount each month. $50. Its not a real big number so i Never say no I cant do it this month.

4. Do you have a favorite scripture? What is it? I am the way, the truth and the life: No man cometh unto the father but by me John 14:6

5. What is your favorite Church hymn? " I know that my redeemer lives. The Efy 2000 Cd If you dont have that cd, it is a must have.

6. Do you have Any Sunday Traditions? Not yet, I am still trying. But I did make the boys a sunday box with a bunch of sunday games and movies that we could do as a family. the boys really like it.

7. Do you have a Patriarchal Blessing? No, I know it is on my mind daily to go get it.

8. Do you believe in angels? Yes. Jp my oldest thinks he sees an angel over grandma netts house. I wish he would see one over ours

9. Do you like the ward you're in? Yes !!!!!! I love it I never want to move out. I love everyone in the ward. And my boys and Husband enjoy it also.

10. What callings have you had? Young Women's Secretary , 12yrs sunday school teacher, Enrichment

11. What calling do you want? Anyone they are inspired to give me. except maybe Adult sunday school teacher, But I really love the one that I have. Because I am a convert so I wasnt in YW very long. So its like I am doing everything for the First time.

12. What calling do you hold now? Young Women Secretary

13. Who out of your friends do you get spiritually lifted from? Brooke Martin& Jamie Carling, They always has something good to say, and I learn alot from them

14. Personally what do you need to work on with the church? I Need to work on everything, I am still learning, I loved the calling with Sunday school (12year olds) Because everything was broken down for me. Everything made since to me.

15. if so, which one?Were you married/sealed in a temple... Mesa, Az Temple on Dec 1, 2001

16. Do you have a favorite temple? I LOVE them all.. But If I had to choose I would pick the Salt Lake temple, because it is one of the first ones I have been into after I got married, and my second would be , The Sandiego Temple and I get to go to that one in December for my Best friends Wedding. I am so excited.

Wedding Sign in Books.

I love to Scrapbook !!! So 2 years ago I started to Scrapbook wedding sign in books. What i do is scrapbook your engagement pictures and that becomes your sign in book. In one book you get 20 fully srapbooked 8 1/2 x 11 pages and 10 pages to sign. Each one is done in your wedding colors. The fun thing is that you don't need to be getting married. If you are like me your engagement pictures are sitting in a box somewhere. Collecting Dust. Lets get those pictures out and scrapbook them.

MY 1ST HAIR CUT !!!

So i did it! I finally cut or buzzed Harvey's hair. Haven't wanted to cut his hair because I love long hair. I love the wings, and Harvey's hair has been coming in platinum blonde so his ends were darker, it really looked cute. Here is the Before and After pictures. What do you think? which one do you like better? I love it longer, I just need to get used to the short hair cut. The good thing is that now I can style it.

BEFORE


AFTER


this is what his hair looked like from behind. It was so long.


P.S. yes every picture he has only his diaper on. My boys are always in their diapers or underwear.

Harvey's Birthday Party

I haven't been able to post any pictures from Harvey's birthday yet. I have been so busy. Sorry Adell. I know I told you I would post you pictures and a movie from the party. Here are the pictures but for some reason it isn't letting me download the movie. The movie is pretty sad because Harvey is crying his eyes out just like the picture below. We were blowing out candles and Harvey went to reach for the candle and we didn't catch it in time, and he burned his hand with candle wax. It was so sad, he was scared to touch his cake at first. He thought that it was going to burn him. So he was hesitant. He eventually got past it and started digging in. I love it when they take their first bite of cake.

He had just burned his hand!

he is being hesitant

He kept wanting to put it up to his face and take a bite. he never actually made it, and kept tipping the cake on him.

He still isn't sure

now he is enjoying

We got him to wave to us.

P.S. Adell I will keep trying to download the movie and post.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADELL !!!!

Happy Birthday Adell!!! We miss you and cant wait to see you the next time you come down. The Boys wanted to say a litte something. Happy Birthday Love Cj, Jessica, Jp, Parker, Harvey

Parkers first day of Preschool!!!

Today was Parkers first day of school. He has been waiting for this day ever since Jp started school. So it was a great day. He loved it, he came home with this little had that said I am a star. I cant believe I have to kids in school. OK on another note, I have to explain the story behind the backpack. Well we went to go pick him up a back pack, so we went to our usual store FREEDOM BOARD SHOP they have great stuff and alot of Toddler stuff. We had a few back packs narrowed down, but he wasn't thrilled. until we realized that there was more backpacks on the other side of the store Parker runs over to the other side and looks at the back packs, and what does he see this checkered one. He said that he wants the racing back pack. I couldn't change his mine. If you know Parker once he has his mind set on something he doesn't budge. So now we have an over sized back pack. But I do have to admit I think its pretty cute, and we will have it for a very long time.

Maybe this is what my little girl will look like with a Head band. j/k

My Baby is 1 !!!!! Happy Birthday

The Many Reasons why Harvey is so Special !!!

1. He was 8pounds 1 ounce when he was born. He was so beautiful. (But we all think our babies our beautiful.) I had thought the doctor said it wrong, so i asked him twice. He is my biggest baby and still is.

2. He was Born on September 3, 2006. He came a day early. I actually wanted him to come a week late because we weren't in our house yet. So for 2 weeks him and I slept on the couch. Maby that was why he was so hard. He also had trouble Nursing and tore me apart. It was a rough start. But we made it through.

3.He was a hard baby, but now is an Angel. They always say "hard babies easy toddlers." Come to find out know he was probably just very hungry, because he would cry all the time.

4. He loves to eat. I cant keep the Boy full, And he will eat anything you put in front of him. I don't think Heavenly Father gave him an on /off switch.

5. He is always happy !!!! Every time i go in to get him from his crib from a nap or first thing in the morning, He gets so happy and jumps up and down and ends up falling over, its so cute.

6. He will go anywhere with me and is such a trooper.

7. He is wonderful at taking naps, and loves them.

8. He loves to follow his brothers around and does it all day long. You can just tell what he is thinking when he watches them. "Sure wish I could do that!"

9.He also loves to take baths with them it is so cute.

10. His blonde hair. It looks like I Highlight it with golden blonde streaks. It is pretty cool.

11. I love his chubby legs and cheeks. I know some people might not think he is that chubby, those of you that have seem him in person but again he is my biggest for me.

I lOVE YOU HARVEY !!!!!
