"Preach My Gospel"

"...I will bring forth much of my gospel which shall be plain and precious...to come forth unto the gentiles...and in them shall be written my gospel, my rock and my salvation....And blessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my Zion at that day...How beautiful upon the mountains shall they be." (1 Nephi 13:32-36)
"And my words shall hiss forth unto the ends of the Earth, for a standard unto my people, which are of the house of Israel... And it shall come to pass that the Jews shall have the words of the Nephites, and the Nephites shall have the words of the Jews, and my word shall be gathered in one...(2 Nephi 29)
"And they shall cry from the dust, yeah even repentance unto their brethren, even after many generations have gone by them" (2 Nephi 3:20)
"The truth of God will go forth boldy, nobly, independent til it has penetrated every clime, swept every country, sounded in every ear." Joseph Smith.
I LOVE THIS- mary sent me this postcard with the above writing on the back. what a great missionary she is!!! I add my testimony to those words. THEY ARE TRUE. I know it because I have felt it deep in my heart and I know the gospel she is out teaching and preaching is true.
(This picture is of my sister Mary, incase any of you do not know, she is serving a full time mission for 18 months in Guatemala. She's been learning 2 languages, spanish, which she has down, and quechi, a native language not related to spanish she's still learning but i think shes doing ok with it. she comes home in january. )

Abbys 2nd tooth is in!

can you see my new tooth? ...haha sorry i tried...
if you feel around here....



YIKES! it seems like her teeth are coming in so early! i know its sort of normal after 3 months i read, but it just seems too fast. she got her first tooth right at 5 months , on her 5 mo birthday, which was august 12. now today i felt the one next to it! so 2 teeth, bottom middle. just thought i'd put that up for the record!

The Gardens At Thanksgiving Point

these pics are all from tuesday by the way.

he was over there looking for a little white tailed bunny we saw.
going into the secret garden!
inside the secret garden, he had so much fun with those fountains

andrews face here is great...




















These ones i took of jen and andrew smelling the roses were just too cute. they turned out so adorable. jen is such a good auntie. the other day andrew woke up and the first thing he said was "andrew need jen".
caught in action!
overlooking the tallest man made waterfall west of the Mississippi i believe.




i really like Picnik.com, SOOO fun. and to get the premium membership its only $24 a year, which isn't too bad of a deal. i've just been using the free version, but as you can see its pretty cool!
dan posed her here- hats off to dan! it turned out so cute.

my beautiful boy.

trying out jens neat little tripod that wraps around anything! very cool.
cassie and abby

i had a free 8X10 at jcpennys, so i took advantage of it. this was the best one i got...hes really hard to have coopoerate. i really wanted a close up one of him smiling, or one of him laying down with his hands under his chin...but this is ok. i can always go back.

Bows!

going for a walk the other day, i love the stroller! and andrew wanted to ride, so he could!

i made abby another headband , (she wasn't happy about me putting her down). i used a pair of toddler tights, cut one leg off at the crotch, then hot glued the toe of the tights inside the leg opening, and then kind of bunched it and glued it, and then glued some ribbon around the bunched part and glued it in the back so i could clip on a bow.
Here are the bows i made. some still need like jewels, and most still need the clips on the back (i need to make a run). but i thought i'd share what i've been up to today! i love making bows. anybody in my area want to join me? its so much more fun with two! (or three...)
