"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."

strawberry pickin'

We went and picked strawberries today at Kings Orchard. It was the perfect day to go, it was still a little chilly outside so the strawberries weren't baking in the sun and heat. The kids had fun and there were so many strawberries to choose from that we picked 5 pounds of strawberries in about 20 minutes. It was great and the kids LOVED it too!

* You're not suppose to eat the strawberries while your picking but have you ever tried to tell an almost 2 year old he can't eat those red, delicious strawberries that are right at his fingertips? I gave up after telling him no the 5th time.

Carly did a pretty good job at picking the reddest, biggest strawberries she could find and she only snuck eating one or two.

Oh I miss that I had a good time there picking the berries. Those strawberries look yummy did you make any jam or did you just eat the 5 pounds?

I smell strawberry jam! So fun! We are going to go to a local farm with our neighbors in the fall to pick peaches. I can't wait!
