Todd and Nat's Visit.

This weekend Todd and Natalie drove down to spend some time with us. It was so wonderful to see them and get some quality time with them here at our house. Unfortunately it rained all day Friday which was a bummer but we ended up having a fun date night at the KEG for dinner and playing games at Dave and Busters. Sunday we borrowed some bikes and enjoyed a beautiful bike ride around the neighborhood. It was an event all of us could enjoy, even Jakey as we stopped at the park and had some laughs and picked fruit along the way! We love you Todd and Nat

Mom's Favorite Quotes

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make....I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."
