Up a Tree

These are just a few pictures of Ander and Malah.

Blessings

Wow what a week. It started with the fair, and the stress that brings, then my husband got the call that all military family's hate. He was put on alert status, and we are just waiting for deployment orders. Then last night we found out they are closing the Dell call center, and he will be laid off. My kids have been sick, and I started feeling sorry for myself. Why us I asked myself? We do everything we are supposed to.. Go to church pay our tithing, so why us? Bill kept promising that everything was going to be alright. How? We will have no money, and he my be leaving the country for a year. Then I woke up this morning, and turned on the news, and it reminded me what today is, and how small my problems seem next to the rest of the world, and even so many in my own country. 8 years ago so many lost everything, and here I am worried about such small things. I started to remember all the blessings I have, and started feeling guilty for questioning why me. I have my family, and we are all healthy. We have a home, and food. (There are so many in the world that don't even have that). I have a Heavenly Father that loves me, and I am so blessed to belong to his church. I am blessed with a husband that will do everything, and anything, so I can stay home with our children. I am thankful that I live in a country where we have so many choices and opportunities. I really am blessed, and am thankful for the little problems that I do have. They help remind me of just how good I do have it, and how blessed I am. I know that I will get through this, and that Heavenly Father will be there to help me. I just have to remember that no mater how bad it gets, it could always be worse...

AnnaBelle's Blessing Dress

What a beautiful dress. Thank you so much Grandma Bonner... The day wouldn't be the same without the wonderful dress you made for AnaaBelle. AnnaBelle woke up with a cold, so we went home after sacrament, so she wasn't around the kids in nursery. These are just a few pictures we got on her blessing day. We will get some better ones once she is feeling better.

School Days

AnnaBelle is now 10 weeks, and still sleeps most of the day, so my school days are a little easier.

Malah is having fun writing letters with Ander, but also loves to take breaks it watch Dora.

Ander loves school, but hates getting dressed. He is always doing school in his PJs.

Sarah is so happy to be starting 3rd grade. Someday she will wish she had been happy for this picture....
