All American Studs

 There's something about seeing my hubs playin a little bit of backyard baseball with his sons that just gets to me. It is so nice to see him slow down, set aside the yard work and the welding projects and the ditch work and the tractor work in the field that needs to be done to just spend the evening hours playin' some catch and hittin' some balls. I love it when Joe takes a minute to spend a little bit of quality time just doing little boy stuff, because that time is slipping away so much faster than I ever dreamed it could.

Good game Slick!

I like to look for rainbows . . . .

This weekend my little nephew is going to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am so proud of him. Listening to his excitement as he tells me about being baptized takes me back to August 10th of last year when my own first born son decided that he also wanted to become a member of the church. What a proud day that was for me and his father. I know these small children lean on our testimonies to make this decision and to take upon themselves the responsibility that goes with being baptized but I strongly believe their little bodies come with a much stronger and more receptive spirit than I could have ever imagined! Darrell bore to me a testimony that shocked me and I felt the spirit throughout my entire body confirming to me that this little boy truly KNOWS that his Heavenly Father loves him and knows him and is happy with his decisions. I love watching him and Tad and my nieces and nephews grow and develop physically and spiritually. It was a day filled with love and support from family and friends and we appreciate them! Darrell's dad baptized him and his grandpa Rogers confirmed him. It was exciting to have two of my most favorite men blessing my little boy with such a special gift. I am grateful I am surrounded by the priesthood. I truly am blessed! It will be a memory I will treasure forever!

LOVE YOU TO PIECES SWEETIE PEETIE!!!!
