West Virginia Trip

We were so blessed to have some dear friends invite us to visit with them for a few days. Thank you Bennet Family we really enjoyed our time away from our busy life. Here are a few cute pictures of the magnificant mountains and wonderful friends. I have always loved the mountains. They truly are a masterpiece of our Father in Heaven.

Service WIth a SMILE!

We participated in a service project the Fayetteville Stake to help clean up Fayetteville. It was sponsored by the City of Fayetteville. There were other churches and groups there that participated also.
We wore the helping hands pullover with our church's name on it. It was overwhelming to me because our church by far had the most participants. It was a great experience and I am grateful I could serve.
This was one of the many groups that picked up trash in our stake.

President Joseph Catlett is a wonderful friend, father, husband and example to the saints in the Fayetteville Stake.

He asked us to attend and serve in this project. He was very pleased with the response. So many people love him and know that he will lead us in the right direction. I know that is why so many people showed up to do their part.

Egg Hunt

This was our second egg hunt. We did one the day before and my battery wasn't charged.Dang! I was able to get a few pictures at Grandmas house. We decorated our eggs and the kids really enjoyed it. Leftovers made deviled eggs and egg salad all week. YUM!

Happy Birthday Kimberly!!

As children get older they quickly figure out how to unwrap presents. When they run out of presents to open a little disappointed shows. Kimberly loved her presents she received.

Grandma made Kimberly a bunny cake this year.

It was too cute and very delicious. Thank you Grandma.

Kimberly loves bubbles.

She was concentrating hard on blowing this one.

Kimberly got a Hot Wheels from Nana and Grandpa for her third birthday.

She can even tell you how old she is. Her birthday was on Good Friday this year.

She got to have a birthday party and look for Easter eggs.

Six Hours of Being Renewed

I have to say that conference was everything I thought it was going to be and lots more. I was so very touch by each speaker. It seems like in every talk something important stood out and touched my soul. I am so grateful for words of wisdom that helped strengthen us and uplift our hearts and minds. We are so bless as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to have a living prophet on the earth today. In the times we now live, we need to listen to and live these precious words which were shared with us this weekend. They will strengthen our testimonies and add oil to our lamps. I am so thankful for all of the words of encouragement that have been given to me in my time of adversity. I know that my Savior lives and loves me. This trial has made my faith stronger and I know without a doubt that things will get better as time passes. As soon as this trial passes another one will take it's place. It is how we handle these test and how we grow spiritually from each trail to help us with the next one. Heavenly Father loves us and that is why he gives us trials. I wanted to share my testimony of what I have experienced with all of my friends that view this blog. I will be sure to share my words of encouragement with you in your time of adversity.

Pushing On

Our family still continues to pray for Gregg to get a solid job or any work along the way. We are not sure what Heavenly Father has in store for us. We will continue to have faith and "PUSH ON" through each day trying hard to count our blessing and have a good attitude. This is one of the hardest things I have been though yet. The Lord's Time is what I keep telling myself. I also keep hearing the word "Patience." I have always thought that I had lots of it, maybe not. Maybe I need to develop more. Sorry for the depressing post.Maybe the next one will be more upbeat. I will look forward to General Conference so I can be uplifted and feel the wonderful spirit that come from each session. I am so grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Chirst o f Latter Day Saints. Because I have the knowledge that comes from the gospel, it has helped me see the big picture and know that one day I can live with my family throughout eternity. That is a wonderful comfort to me especially when I have trials.

I Do Have Three Other Children You Know!

Yes, I know what was she thinking. She wasn't! She was completely bored and being creative I guess. I am glad it wasn't permanent paint. Caroline being the oldest usually has a lot of responsibly put upon her. I love and appreciate everything she does to help me around the house. She is a good babysitter in training as well. She will be 13 soon and a real teenager.

Melanie has a sweet smile and a sharing heart . She is such a great help with little Kimberly and I appreciate her help. Melaine has a great sense of humor.

No Hannah these are not gloves. Hannah is such a sweet child with a great love for her family. Her little spirit is such an example to me. Yes I do have three other chilren. It seem that I post alot about Kimberely. When they are that litttle you just want to document everything at that cute age and sometimes I get carried away. Sorry girls I will focus on the big picture.
