"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."

not much going on....

We haven't been doing much, it's much to hot to play outside, yesterday morning Carly wanted to go on a "pirate treasure hunt in the woods" so we went out and walked around in the woods behind our house. Luckily it didn't last long because it was just too hot. I do however love the clovers that are growing behind our house. They attract all the deer. Don't be deceived though, it may be pretty but underneath are jagged stumps of little trees and bushes. Our backyard is not a very friendly place to play. If this wasn't a rental I would have more motivation to do something about it....
Sam has been really great in his toddler bed. Although he feels the need to sleep with his toys. (Usually he has more toys in bed with him) Carly does this same thing, she'll collect toys throughout the day in buckets or toy bins and then insists on sleeping with those buckets in her bed. What happened to just sleeping with a stuffed animal??

This little beauty happened on the 24th. We were at a Ward breakfast and Carly and another little girl were playing around and Carly feel backwards and hit her head on their limestone gravel driveway. It was not a pretty sight. I hate blood, especially when it's gushing from my daughters' head. Luckily we have people in the ward who know what to do in situations like that and they took care of her.

Same here! It is too bloody hot to do anything!

Love Sam's big boy bed. Raylie is my worst for having to sleep with EVERYONE of her toys. There is really no room on her bed for her.

Glad Carly didn't need stitches! That wouldn't have been fun. Did she handle it well? Tough girl! Can't wait to see you guys!!

Yes it is hot and humid (for So. UT) i know you have no sympathy there but we are used to the dry heat. Love those little people in you house, they are very cute. Cant wait to squeeze them, I do have to add that I love the big people in your house as well.
