Husband/Mysteries of Heaven

I have the best husband in the world. He has been so sweet the last two weeks taking the kids to bed, getting bottles for tired babies, helping around the house, I have loved having him around. Too bad he has to work. If we had our way he would always be around but I know that he is providing for our family. He is an excelent father and a perfect husband.

The Infinite Atonement (Illustrated Edition,) by Tad R. Callistar:

"The things of God are of deep import; and time, and experience, and careful and ponderous and solem thoughts can only find them out. Thy mind, O man! . . . must stretch as high as the utmost heavens, and search into and contemplate the darkest abyss, and the broad exanse of eternity--thou must commune with God." (The Prophet Joseph Smith) pg. 11--I love that the Lord wants us to search out the mysteries of heaven. That He just doesn't want us to take the word of our leaders but wants us to discover the truth for ourselves and that if we will search in faith we will know His truth. We can't sit idly by and expect to understand the atonement. We must activly search it out.

First day of school August 2014

First day of school!! Eveyone was so excited. Especially little Maddie. Since March she has been asking me when she would get to go to kindergarten. She was tired of preschool and wanted to be a big girl. We told her she would have to wait until after swim team. For about the last month she has asked everday when swim team would be over. Finally we had our last swim even, the weekend, and school. For Kindergarten the first week back the kids only come one day so that the teachers can evaluate them and put the classes together. Maddie's day was Monday which worked out perfect so that everyone could start on the same day. As Maddie got ready she and Samantha were suck like glue. Samantha being the doting big sister and helping her out with lunch, backpack, and clothes. We all walked into school and everyone was eager to help drop Maddie off. When we got to the room the teacher looked at her and said, "Maddie! are you su...
