I am of Worth/Wickedness

Sometimes my kids get a hold of my phone. It is always interesting to see what treasures I find in my gallery when I get it back. Here are a few from this past week.

I felt very humbled and blessed yesterday. I had two people come visit and help me get the house back to normal. I can get up and work I just can't spend a lot of time on my foot so keeping up with the house is hard. I have been amazed at the outpouring of love people have shown me and my family. We have cookies show up at our house, dinner almost every night, rides offered, play date invitations, people helping around the house, etc. Just very very blessed. I feel like maybe I do contribute to the ward. It has been very reasuring to feel their love.

Book of Mormon, Helaman 15:5

"5 And I would that ye should behold that the more part of them are in the path of their duty, and they do walk circumspectly before God, and they do observe to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments according to the law of Moses."

I think this same thing is happening today when comparing America to Central and South America. We as a country are loosing our values. I do have faith that the righteous will keep this country from major harm.

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY #5

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
