Myrtle Beach/Depression

We went to Myrtle Beach for Spring Break last week.  We had a lot of fun.  Here are some pictures of our adventures:

Michael loved the beach.  He was covered from head to toe in sand.  He couldn't b happier.

Elizabeth met a boy at our hotel and the two of them spent most of their time boggy boarding.  The water was freezing but they loved it.

Maddie gathered seashells for us.  She wanted to put them back together.

John Derek wanted to be buried in the sand. Michael loved keeping him in one spot.

Family fun in the sand.

Everyone loved the lazy river.

The Lord allows us to be tried and tested, sometimes to our maximum capacity. We have seen the lives of loved ones—and maybe our own—figuratively burned to the ground and have wondered why a loving and caring Heavenly Father would allow such things to happen.But He does not leave us in the ashes; He stands with open arms, eagerly inviting us to come to Him.  He is building our lives into magnificent temples where His Spirit can dwell eternally.
 
I liked this quote.  Right now I have decided to fight my depression and have started on an anti-depressent.  I want to be able to feel the Spirit in my life as I have in the past.  I want to be able to love my children as I desire to.  I want to be able to serve those around me and not feel like I am bairly hanging on.  I do believe that the Lord is on my side and has been guiding me to this decission.  I hope and pray that I will be able to get something to work soon so that I can continue to go about doing His work.

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY #5

Yes, you read it correctly. The Thornton Family is expecting a new baby in Dec. 2012. We are very excited. Today we made the announcement to our 4 children and I am sure that each of you heard their screams of excitement. 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. Elizabeth would like the baby to have brown hair so that more kids in the family would look like her. Then the conversation turned to names. Here are some of their favorites: Elizabeth wants: Sarah, Eva, Evelyn, or Eve, and if it is a boy Phineas or Ferb Samantha wants: Sam or Ammon John Derek wants: Johnny Maddison wants: Cinderella and Johnny So here we go. Taking on a new adventure of 5 children with faith that we are following our Father in Heaven's desires for our family. In this last conference Pres. P...

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...
