JACOB'S BIRTHDAY

We had a speaker at church on Sunday who told us we need to ASK ourselves the RIGHT questions. So I am asking RIGHT now, where has the time gone? It seems like just last week that I was pregnant in the hospital waiting to bring one more SPIRIT into this life. He came easier than the rest and the JOY I felt at his birth was IMEASURABLE! He has continued to bring JOY to my life everyday. He is so fun and sweet and adorable. Today on the day of his birth I am HONORED to be his mother. I am THANKFUL to my Heavenly Father for loaning his PRECIOUS SPIRIT to me. I PRAY I can measure up to the task of rasing him. I think of this question "WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE" often. When I look back I REALIZE how short our time here is. "Life Can Change with every BREATH we take." Another LESSON LEARNED..........One I appreciate so that I can remeber to be PRESENT in my life now and ENJOY AND LOVE each moment and the GIFT that might be very obvious or may be HIDDEN there.

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

Lessons Learned.........



I love this song.....It sums up a lot I have felt lately. Yesterday watching General Conference, I learned more lessons again. I was reminded again how we have to be careful how much we judge someone......we don't always know the circumstances that bring people to where they are in their life. It's so easy to assume you know......trust me.....you usually don't know........My perceptions have changed many times when I have learned all three sides of a story.

This is one of my favorite pictures from about 4 years ago. It was such a fun peaceful time in our lives.....I am looking forward to those peaceful times coming back again. Life has been a little crazy the last year or so and I am ready for some peace again .......I know it will come. I feel it is on its way. But on doing this blog I have had so much fun reminissing I think I will just post a few random pictures now. I have so many fun memories and so much to be so grateful for.
