My Husband/Unselfish Leaders


I have the best husband in the world.  He knows what is important to me and gives me that time and attention.  He is so busy with work and Church but still finds time for his family, he usually doesn't give much time for himself.  When he got home from work yesterday and was frustrated about some things that had happened he went outside and played kickball with the kids.  I heard him laughing with the children and making them feel loved.  He then came in and helped me clean up dinner, helped put kids to bed, and then listened to my day.  What a great unselfish man.  I am so blessed.

 
"18 Wherefore, with the help of these, king Benjamin, by laboring with all the might of his body and the faculty of his whole soul, and also the prophets, did once more establish peace in the land."
Riding the land of wickedness was no easy task. I wonder how many late nights they had, how many meetings, how many visits, and they still raised a righteous family. It makes me think of my husband and how he works so hard to provide for our family and then if he doesn't have a meeting he comes home and helps me get the house in order and kids off to bed and then sits at the computer and writes email after email, never thinking of himself only how he can help the Lord, and finally crawls into bed long after I have fallen asleep. I have really been blessed to marry a great man and I am so thankful for him.

Maddison immediately told us that it was going to be a boy but then after a few minutes decided that we need one boy and one girl. John Derek would like the baby to be a boy so that he can have a brother. Samantha would like the baby to sleep in her room.

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...
