Moments of Love!

You know, at times as a mother, I have tried to figure out what it is that makes my kids behave the way they do towards each other. There are those days when I am pretty certain they would be happy if they never had to see one or the other again. Then, there are these precious moments when I don't have to make them love each other, I don't have to threaten them to be nice, they just do it. They pick the craziest times to show they care and I am just grateful for cameras to capture those moments that they, I am sure, didn't want mom to see. These are the moments that make being a parent the most rewarding thing I could be doing right now! These are the times that catch my breath and make my heart beat just a little bit faster... they are moments of love.

I Love to see the Temple

I have always loved to see Temples! They stand as a brilliantly, beautiful witness that we are God's children and we do have a purpose here in this life. My testimony however, has grown in leaps and bounds as I get the chance to attend a temple so close I can see it up on the hill from my house!! I can see it's shining beauty when I go out for a run and it stands there in front of me. I can see it as I go to Rexburg for errands and I feel so blessed to have something so beautiful that I can go to and teach my children about! I trully do love to see the Temple!!

Our Dodge Durango

This is our wonderful vehicle several years ago. This SUV. has become a part of our family. It has travelled hundreds of thousands of miles and its dependability has been counted on more than any vehicle should have to hold up to. I am saddened to say that it is sitting quietly in the parking lot of a mechanic shop right now and we are pretty sure that she is on her last leg. As much as it pains us to say, we are going to have to get a new vehicle soon. I just have to say, that if all Dodge Durangos run as amazingly as ours has, for as long as ours did, they are well worth owning. We are sad to see it sitting there as we drive by and hope we can get things taken care of soon. Finacially and emotionally, we are sad that our vehicle is not working properly anymore.
