Speaking of walking...




I decided to hand mop my floor yesterday, I was going to wait until the kids went down for their naps but Elisabeth was just not willing to surrender early enough. I thought what the heck I'll let them join in on the fun. They loved playing in the suds from the soap and Isaac thought they tasted as great as they looked. I was cleaning the far side of my kitchen, and I turned around to find them both standing in a huge puddle of water from the bucket that had been tipped. I thought about getting upset about the huge puddle but decided it wasn't worth it. We all laughed instead, and then cleaned it up.
Isaac started to walk about 2 weeks ago.... I guess I should say he started taking steps. He loves to walk back and forth between Jake and I. He thinks it's a game now and gets a huge smile on his face when he realizes we are both sitting in the right positions on the floor for him to be able to walk back and forth, back and forth.


Thanks to those who walked and walked and walked...




I was explaining to Elisabeth yesterday, why I was making her a pioneer outfit to wear to our ward Pioneer party. We got to talking and she started asking me questions like;"what is a pioneer, why they wear those, and why they have to walk?" So I started explaining and telling her some different pioneer stories, and all of the sudden I had a huge rush of gratitude toward the Pioneers and early church members come over me. I really am so thankful that they smoothed the path for me and my family so that we can enjoy the fullness of the gospel so freely today.






They were the cutest pioneers I've ever seen, even though I can never get them to look at the camera when I want them to.

You know, Isaac and Elisabeth were just out doing their normal chores for the day.







Sometimes I wish I could freeze time, this was one of those times.
They were just sooo dang cute.
