"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

Happy 4th of July!

Here are some pictures from our 4th of July party. We went over to Alycia and Daniels house (Chad's sister) We got together with a bunch of friends and it was really fun. We had some dinner, talked and then did some fireworks. Carly liked the fireworks that weren't loud. I actually got to cuddle with her because she was scared of some of them.

I was surprised that Aaralyn wasn't scared this year... but we were a few blocks away from where they were shooting them off...

Cute and his name is Jackson? I am in love! He's adorable!
How is the YMCA going? Do you still like it?

Danette said...

I love it!! Although some days it's hard to get up and go but it's good for me and Carly. I go about 3 times a week.
