Katelyn's baby blessing

Who do I look like?

 Who do you think I look most like?

daddy or mommy?....

 

 

Holiday Fun

Thanksgiving is all about.... 

.... Giving oneself a fu-man-chu....

.... being so sore after a 'friendly' game of family basketball that you only speak in grunts for the next few days.... 

... eating way too much pumpkin pie.... 

And for more than half of us- seeing it a second time just hours later :)

Yay for holidays! 

Super Halloween!

The Vision of the Tree of Life

I didn't feel like writing today, but I still wanted to share some thoughts. So you get to be subjected to my artistic abilities and your own interpretations! I would suggest you read all of 1 Nephi 8 and 11, and then go back through the specific scriptures for each item represented in the picture, starting with black, then red, and finally green. I would love to hear any thoughts, as well as any additional symbols or cross-references that would fit well within the picture. So let me know what you think! 

(Sorry the picture is sideways.... I couldn't figure out how to fix it on the blog!)

Katelyn says hello!

Hi family! I just wanted you to know I'm now 1 lb 5 oz and the doctor says I am super healthy! My favorite things to do are to fold in half and touch my forehead with my toes, kick mommy in the belly, and drink amniotic fluid after mom has a chocolate chip cookie! That's what I am doing in the picture below :) 

I can't wait to meet you! Love you already, 

Katelyn Marie

Home teaching fun

Thanks to a mom who loves taking pictures, we have our home teaching experience from yesterday captured in scrapbook format! 

Chad spent hours putting together some awesome bionicles Lego sets a couple weeks ago while he was down with the stomach flu just for a young man he home teaches. In turn, we got to see the young man's Lego collection and his sister's rubber band creation. She even made me a little rubber band pencil before we left! 

Chad taught a lesson using a pink tie. He talked about how our mistakes and sins sometimes create a chain that keeps us down. But through the atonement of the savior, all things can be made beautiful like a flower :)
