Summer wanted to put on a play on sunday and she asked me to help her. we took a video of it, but we used the video camera instead of the regulary one, and no one knows how to get it on the computer so i just have these pictures of it. it was lots of fun. summers story was so good! we used those little cone things summer has for puppets and we sat behind the couch for it. we made tickets too, it was awsome!















Me and Faith love each other so much, we cuddle and fall asleep on each other all the time. She is my prince and i'm pretty much in love with her!

Today was the General Young Womens meeting. It was very good and i felt the spirit there. I'm so happy Sarah and I went to it.
Dad has been working on putting up storage shelves in the basement so we can have more room in the storage room and put better shelves in there for food storage and such. He's been working so hard, we are so thankful for him and we love him!

This is just a funny picture of Sarah my mom took the other day. I was trying to get a good picture of her but she wouldn't let us.

Summer the artist

Summer stayed home from school today cuz she's been sick. She put her time to good use by painting some pretty pictures.

No School!

its the end of the quarter so i Sarah and i didn't have school today. We got the kitchen nice and clean and i deep cleaned the bathroom and de-junked the winter stuff in the top of the closet. and i vaccumed the stairs. I feel very accomplished so far. and the day's only half over, i still plan on making cookies, painting, reading a book, doing laundry, and having some of my friends from the UPB come over so i can take pictures of them for an art project i'm doing. i'm very exited.

Bart is Aleahs amazing new husband. I'm grateful to him for loving and cherishing Aleah and seeing how beautiful and smart she is and making her happy. Bart lides guns. I don't get that.

Aleah is my Aleah. She is brave and strong and smart and beautiful-practically perfect in every way. She is my friend and loves me even though she sees all my weeknesses.


Michael is my big, strong, handsome son. He loves his family and works hard for them, and plays with them too. He is dynamic and does what he loves with his whole heart and energy. I love how he plays with Damon. So enthusiastically.
I love Michelle. She loves everyone and is a friend to everyone. She is a dovoted wife, mother and homemaker. She makes herself at home with our family and loves us just the way we are, with all our warts.
Damon is a little ball of fire and a sweet darling boy. He is a joy and takes after his Dad in energy and enthusiasm.
Zachary is my Zachary. He is smart and funny and makes me smile and laugh even though I usually don't understand him. He loves violent video games that I don't get. He loves his family and has a good heart.
Riley is a fun little kid. We love him. He loves lincoln logs and legos and trains, we love it when he comes to play with us.
Hilary is a loving wife and mother. She is a good match for Zach. I think she "gets" him. They are two peas in a pod. Hilary is an emergencey rescue person and that is pretty cool.

I didn't go, because i was in school but from the pictures my mom got, it looked like it was really good. Then we went to the reception in Lehi. It was really fun and i found out i'm already friends with some of the people on W.C.'s side of the family! who would have thought? At the end of the reception, they drove away in this super nice race car. The pictures aren't all in order, sorry. There are a lot of them.

Daddy worked at the Oquirrh Mountain temple today, installing stuff and hauling stuff around. Its so great that he gets to be a part of making such a great thing possible! Whenever I go driving there a certain places where you can see the Draper temple, the Jordan River temple, and the Oquirrh Mountain Temple all from the same place. Sometimes you can even see the Salt Lake temple. I just think that is so amazing, it makes me feel so good.

Oh, and everyone living at home right now has to give talks in sacrament meeting on sunday about conference since its coming up! yay! actually i'm not too exited but i'm sure there will be blessings for it so i'm exited about that.

Jennifer made an awsome valentine for Daniel.

Daniel

Daniel enjoys comeing home to see the family. He wishes he could do it more. His favorite part about coming home is talking and playing games with the family.

I got A LOT. so everyday I think i'm going to put up one or two things that each person said. hopefully this will be motivation for you all to check the blog and see what nice things were said about you!

"The Truth is ...man is a child of God- a God in embryo. That man is a child of God is the most important knowledge available to mortals."
Marion G. Romney

since i'm relating everything in this blog to divine nature (or trying to, anyway) I thought it would be a good idea to use quotes from General authorities and scriptures and such.
Everyone in this family is a child of God and they show that everyday by saying or doing kind things for each other and trying to be like christ.

Here is Sarah hard at work doing her homework. She did a lot of it yesterday! good for her! i need to do that too.
Jenny and Summer and Their friend Kimmy decided to Turn the basement into a town called Jamestown after the first town established in America. They showed me all around it and its very impressive. It goes a step further than just playing "house." They have three houses and a store and a bank! very cool.
