More Pics of the Kids!!!

Well, I just wanted to throw in some more cute pictures of Jacob and his cousins while we were out in Utah. There are just so many cute pictures I had to add this blog as a continuation of our trip to Utah. Also, I have noticed that some of my friends and family have done a "Thankful List", so I thought I would do a real short one. I have never really been into doing the "thankful list" because it kinda seems like bragging, but here goes . . . I feel like bragging today!

#1: I am thankful for my celestial marriage to my amazing husband. The prophets and apostles have said there is no substitute for a temple marriage and just as recent as last conferance Elder Nelson stated that "Celestial marriage is a pivotal part of preparation for eternal life." I am grateful to live in a day and age where I can take advantage of the gospel and the priesthood being on the earth. Andrew and I were married in the Manti Temple April 30th, 2005.

#2: I am thankful for my amazing husband that takes great care of all my needs and is the best dad a child could ever have. I am grateful to have a man that is motivated and not only has dreams and expectations for his family but goes out and works to achieve them. I always love to just spend time with Andrew! We met the day after he returned from serving an LDS mission in Italy, November 27th, 2002.

#3: I am thankful of course for my sweet son. He is the kind of son every mother hopes for. I know he is only one but I can already tell what kind of a man he will be. He is intelligent, sweet, loving, persistent, and is already such a good looking little boy. Being a mother is such a wonderful gift that has been reserved only for Heavenly Father's daughters. What faith and love Heavenly Father has in and for his daughters to give us this wonderful blessing. I could go on and on, but those three encompass everything that is wonderful about life . . . hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do!
