Not happy about getting his picture taken!
Wow...this outfit used to be huge on him and now it fits him just right. He is a-growin!


I told Rob that I felt like I didn't have very many pictures with Blake so he took a couple.


I know I'm just a tad biased but I think this kiddo is pretty darn cute. ;)



Well congrats to Mitch! He was called to serve in Argentina.

I enjoyed watching last nights debate...but I ended up staying up way too late.

I read this talk: https://www.lds.org/liahona/2003/11/choosing-charity-that-good-part?lang=eng
by Bonnie D. Parkin and really liked it. She used Mary and Martha as her example and I have always loved that story. For Christmas a few years back my Dad framed a different scripture story picture for all of the kids and the one he gave me was the story of Mary and Martha. This is one part that I really liked from her talk-

"Like Mary, I hunger to feast at the Savior’s feet, while, like Martha, I need to somehow find the laundry room floor, empty my in-box, and serve my husband something other than cold pizza. I have 15 grandchildren whose tender little spirits and daily challenges I want to better understand, yet I also have a slightly demanding Church calling! I don’t have lots of time. Like all of you, I have to choose. We all are trying to choose the good part which cannot be taken from us, to balance the spiritual and the temporal in our lives. Wouldn’t it be easy if we were choosing between visiting teaching or robbing a bank? Instead, our choices are often more subtle. We must choose between many worthy options."

Anyway, being a new mom with limited time on the free time that I have...I really appreciated this.

Love all of you!
