Thanksgiving

I'm so thankful for everything we are ALL able to enjoy thanks to this free country we have to live in. We take for granted all the good things we have sometimes. We are all so lucky to live the lives we do!
We went to Micah's brother Kody and Nicole's this year, they were so sweet to invite all of us and cook oodles!! of food. yummmy!
Here are some pictures of the beautiful table setting Nicole put together for us. She did so much, I don't know how she does it with five little ones running around, she's Wonder Woman!

Girls night out

I'm so behind on posting, I've been busy with other things lately but just wanted to catch up really quick.
We of course like every other girl out there had to have a girls night out and go see New Moon. We had all of the sisters and sister-in-laws together, and we had a BLAST! I don't think I'd laughed that hard in a long time. Micah and Rob were so sweet to take all the little munchkins so we could go have a break.

Quote of the day

I was cleaning out a drawer and came across this quote by Neal A. Maxwell. I loved it so I thought I would share it. It is a good reminder to keep your chin up and keep on keepin on.

When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail or to be wicked. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks; therefore, let us continue, but with a more determined discipleship. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.
Neal A. Maxwell
