Landon's Blessing Day


Last Sunday, Landon was blessed at church by his Dad. Both his grandfathers and several of his uncles also took part in the blessing. It was a very touching sight for me to see my baby surrounded by such worthy men as he was given his blessing. One thing that struck me as especially meaningful was that Billy blessed him that his sweet disposition may continue throughout his life and that he will follow the examples of his older brother and sister as they choose righteous paths. It was a very sweet day.
I love being a mom and amazed at how my heart just grows to love this new little one as much as I love my other two. When I look at my kids, I see their great potential, their weaknesses, their individual traits that make them who they are- It gives me a glimpse of how our Father in Heaven must see us and how he must love each one of us, as his children. I'm so grateful for this knowledge!

That was a nice post. Sometimes I wonder how Heavenly Father looks at us too. Do you think he records the crazy funny things we do and say and then goes and shares them at some great council with all the great ones? "Hey you guys won't believe what Becky said today...." and then He and Father Abraham and Moses all have a good chuckle.

Mini-Marathon

Brayden's school does a "mini-marathon" each year.  During recess, some of the kids choose to run.  For each lap they do, they earn a punch on their cards.  Brayden ran 27.2 miles!!!!  He earned a cool medal and certificate. We were so proud of him. I forgot how long his hair was!  He decided last spring that he wanted to grow it out until school let out.

Eight is Great

Brayden got to celebrate his birthday at the happiest place on earth...Chuck E. Cheese.  Yes, he really wanted a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party.  Not the kind where you show up and mom orders pizza and brings your presents in, but an actual Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Party.  You know, the one where they set the table for you and you get an awesome blow up crown and Chuck E. comes out an entertains you.  I blame all the children that previously have had birthday parties there when we've shown up. Brayden did design his birthday cake.  Apparently he wasn't impressed with the giant cupcake one I made last time that tipped over.  I like doing it this way much better- so much easier.   He got to invite a few friends.  We missed a few that were sick or out of town.  Bummer.  I guess that's what happens when you have a December birthday.  The boys that did come were so much fun and full of all that boy humor- loud and silly.   We opene...

Happy Little Moments

Every now and then, between the running around, the busy-ness of life, checking of the to-do list.... between the bickering, the screaming, the pull our your hair moments... there is a little quiet.  And you might happen upon something like this...   and you run for the camera to capture the sweet, little moments like these that remind you how great life is.
