His Sacred Name - An Easter Declaration

One of my favorite things about April is General Conference. Trav surprised
me with a trip to Washington to see my parents over General Conference
Weekend. Loved seeing my parents and darling brothers, Kristin, Connor, Easton
Deanie and Conley. Also was able to catch up with one of my dearest friends ever, Connie.
Loved my visit with you all:)

This Easter I am more grateful then ever for our savior Jesus Christ. For
his atoning sacrifice for my imperfections and also for the sins of the world.
For my good husband who loves and cares for me. For our Four sons and the
goodness they offer our family. For the daily blessings we take for granted...food, shelter,
clothing and for family relationships - for the trials we have that mold us and help us become
stronger and more humble. I know that Christ lives... I am indeed grateful for his resurrection
and the life he lived. For the restored gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth today, for a living
prophet and power of the priesthood...the powerfulness of the Book of Mormon and the strength
that we receive from its truthfulness. May each of you enjoy this Easter Sunday with your families and loved ones - we look forward to seeing each of you and spending time with you this year!!

OUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parents need to "play offense" - to capitalize on the impressionable years of childhood by instilling in their sons the antecedents of character. Their assignment during two brief decades will be to trasform their boys from immature and flighty youngsters into honest, caring men who will be respectful of women, loyal and faithful in marriage, keepers of commitments, strong and decisive leaders, good workers, and secure. And of course, the ultimate goal for people of faithis to give each child understanding of scripture and a lifelong passion of Jesus Christ. This is, I believe. the most important responsibility for those of us who have been entrusted with the careand Nurturance of children.

Christmas In Elma!!

We left for WA the 13th of December - I barely made it to Seattle to hand the kids over to my Dad and catch a flight to Atlanta where I would join Trav for his company Christmas Party the next day. Trav and I had a fun get away and were able to do a little Christmas shopping. We stayed Thursday, Friday and Saturday and flew back to Seattle Sunday morning where we stayed until January 3rd - We were able to catch a Elma Boys Basketball game. The boys thought it was really cool looking at all the family(uncles & aunts) names on the walls before you entered the Gym doors. Michael and I went and Chatted with Coach Nadau one afternoon. It was so fun spending time with family and friends
