Happy Father's Day/Heavenly Father



Happy Father's Day!!  

Happy Father's Day to the best man in the world.  How grateful I am to have such a wonderful husband.  His love and dedication to our family and to the gospel is amazing and appreciated.  Our family is so blessed to have him in our lives.

Also Happy Father's Day to my father's.  My Father who has taught me so much and loved me for so long.  He is an amazing example of one who is dedicated to the Lord.  He has been a true blessing to me and my life and raising me to love the Lord.  To my Father in Law who is so kind and caring.  His love and appreciation is continually felt. 

Happy Father's Day to my Heavenly Father.  I am so grateful to Him for ALL He has given me.  The blessings and joy I have in this life are because of Him.  His willingness to sacrifice His son that I may return to Him someday, is so sweet and kind.  I am so blessed to know His gospel and to know that I am His daughter.

Happy Father's Day to my brothers, brothers-in-law, grandparents etc.  This world could not survive with out the righteous fathers that surround us.


Uncle Will bought a convertible and took all the grand kids for rides.  We joked that he is now the favorite Uncle.

Michael LOVES his uncles.  Yesterday he was delighted when Uncle Heath sat with him at church.  Then we went to Grandmommies and Uncle Will was there.  He went around giving them hugs all evening.  That night as I said prayers with him I said, "Thank you for Daddy, in the name . . . "  Michael repeated the words I had spoken but stopped after Daddy.  He then said, "Happy Father's Day! Thank you Uncle Heath.  Thank you Uncle Will.  In the name . . . Amen.  Mom! I said my prayer myself!"


Book of Mormon, Alma 50:19
"19  And thus we see how merciful and just are all the dealings of the Lord, to the fulfilling of all his words unto the children of men;"
I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for all that He has given me. I am grateful for the peace that my patriarchal blessing gives me. To read the words of the Lord that were directed to me and only me is a great source of peace and strength.

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

Elizabeth

My darling Elizabeth is so wonderful.  At Church I had the pleasure of talking to different people about the great girl she is.  I was in the mother's room, feeding Michael, and talked to two other moms.  We were discussing the joys and difficulties of raising children.  I talked about how I couldn't do it without my Elizabeth.  How she is my right hand.  She is so good and stepping in and making breakfast or lunch.  She loves to make pancakes with chocolate chips.  She is great with Michael.  I know that I can give him to her and he will be well taken care of.  As soon as we pull into the garage she exclaims, "I'll get Michael!" then leaps out of the car and takes him out.  I don't know what I would do without her.  When Michael was first born and I was constantly feeding, sleeping, and trying to hold the house together she did so much.  She was such a huge help.  She is going to be a great mother some day.  She is so good at talking to children and
