Welcome the task that makes you go beyond yourself, and you will grow! Julie B Beck

"The biggest mistake I made as a parent is the one that most of us make. . .I did not live in the moment. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get to the next thing. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less.”
Anna Quindlen

"Being There [is] an emotional and spiritual shift, of succumbing to Being Where You Are When You Are, and Being There as much as possible. Its about crouching on the floor and getting delirious over the praying mantis your son just caught instead of perusing a fax or filling the dishwasher while he is yelling for your attention and you distractedly say over your shoulder: 'Oh, honey, isn’t that a pretty bug.' It’s about being attuned enough to notice when your kid’s eyes shine so you can make your eyes shine back.” Iris Krasnow

Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more (see proverbs 3:11-12). He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit. To get you from where you are to where He wants you to be requires a lot of stretching, and that generally entails discomfort and pain . . . Your Father in Heaven and His Beloved Son love you perfectly. They would not require you to experience a moment more of difficulty than is absolutely needed for your personal benefit or for that of those you love.

Kids Say the Darnest things
At wallmart Jonathan starts pointing at an old man with a big ol' beard and says " Santa Santa".
Jonathan 2 yrs old December 08
Sitting in the living area of our house feeding Sarah in the early morning. Jonathan had woken up too but was still in his back bedroom of the house. I sneezed and then I hear "Bless you" coming from Jonathan it made me laugh!

Jonathan says on Halloween "Jonathan Monkey George, Daddy the Man in the Yellow Hat, Sarah a flower and Mommy the custome maker".
Jonathan 3 yrs old October 09
The morning after Halloween Jonathan says "Go to church and then to Halloween". As you can tell Jona than loves Halloween.
Jonathan 3 yrs old November 09
"Sarah's a princess, Jonathan's a king, Mommy is a queen" said Jonathan. Mommy asks "What about Daddy?" "Daddy is a GUY!"

Just Be
Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle!

True success in this life comes in consecrating our lives— that is, our time and choices—to God’s purposes (see John 17:1, 4; D&C 19:19). In so doing, we permit Him to raise us to our highest destiny. Elder D. Todd Christofferson
We BECOME what we want to BE by consistently BEING what we want to BECOME each day. Righteous character is a precious manifestation of what you are becoming. Righteous character is more valuable than any material object you own, any knowledge you have gained through study or any goals you have attained no matter how well lauded by mankind. In the next life your righteous character will be evaluated to assess how wll you used the privilege of mortality.

Adorable!!!! I love the one of him with a little smile on his face! He's a beautiful baby!!
Yay Shirlene! I just read all your updates about Henry. These pictures are just beautiful. And great job going natural and causing a code white! How exciting! Good luck with the move and everything too. You never know what new opportunities are waiting for you, and it helps to know it's the right thing so you'll be blessed. It's hard to live away from family but you learn a lot too and I think have more opportunities to do good than sometimes you get in Utah. Good luck, and congrats on your little guy!
Congrats!! He is so precious!
