"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."

These two....

Crack me up!
(in the hospital after Carly was born.)







Carly and Adam are 6 weeks apart. They have pretty much grown up together! They both insist they are are "Best friends."
Carly tells me almost every day... "Mom? Adam's my best friend."
Chad taught their primary class last Sunday (yes, they are in the same class, I feel bad for anyone that tries to teach these two when they're together!) They were having a discussion on temples and how they get married in temples. Chad asked one little boy who he'd marry and the little boy replied "a girl." Then Chad asked Carly who she'd marry and she said "a boy." Then, Chad asked Adam who he's going to marry and Adam said "Carly."
They both then insisted that they would marry each other. (and no, this wasn't the first declaration of their future marriage.) There have been many times when Adam has said he's going to marry Carly. hmm....when should we burst their bubble and tell then that ain't gonna happen!?
They are so funny to listen to when they play. If one of them does something that the other doesn't like, then they are told that "they aren't best friends anymore." Or, if one wants the other one to do something they'll say "I'll be your best friend if...." It's hilarious! I always wonder what the future will bring since they are opposite genders but for now I will enjoy listening to them play and hope that they can stay "best friends" for a long time!!

Love the elastic on Carly's chin. I am predicting that they will stay best friends forever. He will be a great protection to Carly in her teenage years will watch out for her and all the boys that are going to be wanting to date her. :0)

I love it! The pictures are great! Seems like yesterday when we took the picture of them laying on the hospital bed.

She is lucky to have a cousin so close in age. Your kids are cuties.
