Prophets are about Miracles

"May there be peace and harmony in your homes. Husbands, love and treasure your wives....Wives, encourage and pray for your husbands....Parents, treat your children with great kindness.....Now, as we separate for a season, God bless you, my beloved associates. I so pray , as I say good-bye.......Gorden B. Hinckley
One of my Husbands friends gave us tickets to the feneral. It was a great honor to go feel the spirit and Celebrate the life of our Prophet! I am truley inspired to be a better mother and wife! I loved the stories told about how optimistc he was, and his great sense of humor! I really felt he related to us common folk! I am going to miss his voice at conference, but I hope to still hear him say "Oh, it will workout". I started crying (not sobbing for those of you who know me all to well) when they showed him speaking at conference with all the flowers below the pulpet, and then to look down and see his coffin below the pulpet with all the flowers on top of it. I am so grateful that he and his wife Marjorie are reunited together and hope to see them when it is my time to cross the vail.
He truley is a "ROCKSTAR MORMAN"!

So what's in your wallet?

I thought my church bag was the most random!

My church bag is from Steve & Barry's. I thought it was so cute and reasonably priced!

1. My "Be Prepared" manual and cook book. Plus my clipboard with Be Prepared Modge Podged on the back. Church clipboards are so nasty! Do you think anyone ever cleans them?
2. Black and white grosgrain ribbon
3. More chap stick
4. Box top and Crystal light package
5. Pen and lotion
* I think maybe I should put my scriptures in the bag
My purse:

T.J. Max special (you can tell I am a mom)
1. My sunglasses (not in a case)
2. Batteries! (I always need them)
3. Wallet bulging with Costco receipt's
4. One brown Lego (It goes to the Indiana Jones Lego kit)
5. Large variety of pens
6. Plastic spoon
7. 4 options for chap stick & sample mascara
8. Green calender (it's all I need)

The Diaper Bag



When I had Jarom I decided I needed a fun diaper bag. Steve got me the orange and white LOOM bag NWT on eBay. I bought the brown and blue from Wall-Mart.com. (they never have any cute ones in the store)

1. Diapers and wipes (I guess that's the whole point.)

2. Empty water bottle (they have the small bottles at Costco, you gota love them!)

3. Ointments and clipper

4. Band aids and waterproof tape (a must when you have 3 wild boys)

5. Flash ticket stub (the games are tons of fun for the kids!)

I tag- Heather, Bev, Annette, Joslyn, and Katie

Got a Snowman?

I am seriously bummed out that the biggest snowman I have ever seen melted in the Arctic like 35 degree warm weather we are having! Everytime I would drive to Katie's house I would see this gigantic snowman and it would make me laugh! I have no idea how you can make a snowman that big (I think you need a crane). I loved how Samuel would call it the witch snowman! (he is a funny guy!) How long tell summer!
