Come Follow Me









As many of my 
readers may know already, but the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has recently as of this year changed 
how we teach our youth during our Sunday meetings. I can honestly say I was apprehensive about teaching this new curriculum as teachers are not given a manual or a set lesson to teach, and that is how I have been used to being taught as well as teaching. However, as I have taught a few lessons I personally have gained a greater knowledge and drawn closer to my Heavenly Father, my Savior, as well as getting to know the Holy Ghost on a more personal level. I never could have imagined that not having a set lesson to go to and teach I would have learned as much as I have in such a few short weeks. We have been encouraged by our latter day prophets to teach the youth as the Savior would teach them if he were living on the earth today. As I have studied and pondered ideas and questions about the Godhead this month and found answers to those questions, through lots of different methods, I have had to learn the gospel, not just know about the gospel and the teachings I hold sacred.  I will put myself out there and say that I know that we each can have a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father, our Savior, and the Holy Ghost we just have to take the effort and the means they have of getting to know them for ourselves. I can only imagine as I continue to teach and study in the way that the Savior himself taught and learned, I will be able to not be afraid to stand up for what is right in the face of many trials and adversities that plague the world today. I will be a better mother, a better wife, a better friend, and a better disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. I know that there are 3 members of the Godhead and each have one purpose to bring about the immortality and eternal life of man, but each has their own distinct roles in accomplishing them, and with their help I too can help in building up of the kingdom of God on this earth. I encourage all even those who do not have youth to check out the new way of teaching our youth, it is most beneficial to all, use it as a means to become better than you are today. If you want to take a look and I encourage all to do so, even if you may not know my faith you can find them at https://www.lds.org/youth/learn

My Handsome Little Guy

We got so many compliments today at church how grown up and adorable Carson looked in his church outfit, I could not pass up an opportunity to showcase how absolutely adorable he of course. These pictures were taken under our computer desk, when he hid because I was calling his name to take the pictures. :)













My little baby is growing up, but as all mothers know they will always be our babies even when they old and gray!

What Can I Fit in this Hole?

Let's begin this post by saying I am really glad that we do not have any small legos in our household, we only have the mega legos. Last night Carson thought it might be fun to see if he could stick a mega lego in his month, and lets just say it was a success, and it was so funny that we just had to take a picture. Lately he has also been asking for "shows" so as a family we watched Aladdin, and of course "B" and "bear" had to join the fun. 




















Look at me I am talented!








He loves cuddling up to his gigantic teddy bear and watching a good show.

New Life

Baby sign
Love the feeling of a new life growing inside me, the last few days the kicks and jabs have gotten stronger and more regular. It brings me back to the time I felt Carson for the first time, and fell instantly in love with him, this child is no different the moment I found out I was pregnant again and it was a "sticky bun" I let myself fall in love once again. I didn't realize how easy it would be to love another child as much as I love my son, but it came so easy. I look forward to the time when I will get to meet this new little one and to kiss and hug them just as much as I do Carson now. In a few weeks this little one may even have a name, look forward to all the many memories we can make together as a family together forever. Love you little one, can't wait to meet you!
