No More Long Phone Calls

The other day I had an extra long phone call. When I got off this is what I found.

Laundry...It just got harder

Elijah has started climbing into the dryer while I am doing laundry. David has decided to join him. Luckily their faces and hands were clean so they didn't dirty my new clean batch.

The Creative Juices are Flowing

I am so proud of myself. I started and finished TWO craft projects this month. Usually I start something and it sits half done in a box somewhere.
First is our FHE Chart. Thanks to my friend Mandi I have darling vinyl lettering. And thanks to my sister-in-law Erin I had a cute FHE Chart design to copy. To make my chart cute I needed a wood plaque. There is this great place called the Wood Connection. My plaque only cost me 6.00. What am I saying actually buying that plaque cost me a lot more because they had all these darling displays of wood decor you could paint. This is the one I chose and finished to put on my shelf in the kitchen. It has been YEARS since I have been able to start and finish a craft project on my own.

My Baby is 3!

It's hard to believe my little boy turned three this month. He gets cuter everyday. I am so glad our family was blessed with this little guy. I can see his baby face looking more like a little boy. Time is passing by too quickly. Love you David.

Here Comes Trouble

I just had to post this "typical" shot of my boys. Always busy and always together. They are best of friends already. They do cause mischief and lots of messes but they are so fun. They are really quite the pair.

Doing the Dishes

To help with boredom I thought I would let Elijah wash the dishes with me.
In the first picture things are going well. But if you look at the bottom of the picture you will see he is standing on the edge of the cupboard and was on his way to climb inside the sink.
He has also found he can climb the toilet in the bathroom and then sit inside the bathroom sink and turn on the water. Oh the fun days ahead.

Give Thanks

This picture may seem a little odd but it's the only one I had taken over Thanksgiving that had a good amount of family members in it. This was taken on the Thanksgiving morning hike.

Thanksgiving is such a great holiday. It is a holiday focused on family and remembering the things we are thankful for. This year we spent Thanksgiving in St. George with my side of the family. It was so fun! Nothing real fancy happened. It was just great to hang out with family and taking a minute to relax and not have to focus on the "have to's".

As always our feast was delicious. The cousins played for hours on end and we spent many hours playing games. The babies toddled around and the adults laughed and had fun. It was a great day (or should I say weekend). I have much to be thankful for.

I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for the gospel. Those two things are an anchor to me throughout life's storms. Without them I would be tossed in turmoil in this world of uncertainty. But thanks to the gospel and my family to depend on I am prepared for what life throws at me.
