It has been quite some time since i have taken the time to share on this blog. my children continue to grow, bringing joy, laughter, purpose, focus, and humility to my life. we have been busy working and growing as a family. We watched this mormon message for family home evening last night and i wanted to share. And that is the solid foundation that i have built my life on. Sunday, September 23, 2012.

It is amazing how time seems to fly right by you but if you think about it day by day it feels long, a little boring or you are so busy you forget to look around and appreciate the little things in life. We have survived Summer and are looking forward to Fall. I really look forward to having the kids on a schedule and going to bed at a decent hour! Alicia started 8th grade. Savannah is in 6th grade. My baby is in 4th grade.

So Kristen told Gary that they should take her to the emergency room. It was a good thing that they decided to take her. When we saw her last she was screaming.
