General Conference

I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I write often about my faith because it helps me through my trials. Especially the trial of knowing I will outlive my baby daughter. Conference is the best place to learn what we believe, and the principles that help us. Tune into conference today!

Video's from the last couple weeks ;-)

this one's dark, but just listen careful to hear how Max can really make her laugh ;-)

"Sophia Jane-Marie grasping tight and pulling"

And she continues to develop! Watch here as she is getting better at intentionally grasping and pulling. She does this all the time now when we drive, and she is often successful at getting that tube on her suction machine unhooked! Our little miracle!

This is just this morning ;-) She's just turning into a little girl!

Pictures from the last couple of weeks:

Rolling down the hill at the park during respite ;-)

Mariahnna's Birthday ;-)

Grandma May and Grandpa Steve watched Sophie while we went to the cemetary ;-)

We brought home Mariahnna's balloon for Sophia

Took the kids to Zion last Saturday while Jason worked in the yard.

Max climbed up here himself and promptly wanted to climb down lol

I told him he had to smile first haha

Picnic at the Zion Lodge before the hike

Found my infant backpack for the hike. She's so big, but it worked! Look how long she is! (she's in the 99th percentile for height this week btw!) 

Emerald Pools hike.

 I carried Sophie and held Max's hand. Michael and Sarah took turns pushing the stroller with our supplies. We got so much encouragement when people would see us."Look at that beautiful family!" "Amazing kids you got there!" "Wow Mom you are so great!" People are so nice, I just love them!

(sidenote, one day I think those socks of Sarah's might just disappear ;-)

One view from the hike

Sunday best ;-)

Took this picture to commemorate Michael's last Primary Program and Max's first ;-) They were so darn cute. I was so proud that all our kids knew their lines and said them so cute in their own way's ;-)

Sister's ;-)

We took off for a fall drive on Cedar Mountain after Sacrament ;-)

Stopped at a park in Virgin on the way home

Got Halloween out!!! It's a mix of emotions this time of year. Fall is my FAVORITE season. I also worry so much about germs for the next 6 months.

My rule with my kids is they can try lots of different activities, or get really good at one, as long as they are doing something ;-) Michael played flag football this season and had a good time ;-) He's the green blur ;-)

Late evening run to the pharmacy ;-)

And Ice Cream ;-)

That's all for this week! I hope you all are having wonderful weeks as well. Make memories and take a few pictures!
