"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."

A fun day!

We celebrated Sam's birthday today along with Mother's Day. Although, both Carly and Sam came down with Conjunctivitis (in other words their eyes were full of goop and red and puffy) We decided to celebrate anyway (I'm praying that we disinfected their hands enough that they didn't pass it along to anyone else) We had a great Mother's day lunch followed by birthday cake and presents! Sam didn't really know what was going on other than he got to eat cake and open presents. I saw this idea of a cake in a magazine and thought it would be so fun to make! I am so glad Sam decided to surprise our family, he definitely adds so much personality and fun! We sure love him!
