"You likewise will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of these meaningful and significant things. Some of them may be funny. Some may be of significance only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience."

--President Hinckley, from a BYU speech: "Experiences Worth Remembering" given 31 October 2006

One Sick Cookie

Last month I had surgery. It was NOT FUN! I couldn't use my hand at all, I had to have major help from both my parents and Mark, but little Skylie and Wesley were such troopers and took excellent care of their laid-up in bed Mommy!

I love my little guy!

p.s. I'm all better now. It feels good to be back to normal!

Best Christmas Ever!

Dear Santa...

A visit with Santa is always something to look forward to! Skylie and Wesley think very, very carefully about what's going on their Christmas list come December. Lucky for them, they've both been most excellent children this year!

Wesley thinking long and hard about what to ask Santa for...



He doesn't even know where to begin!
