"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."

Carly turns 6 and Annie is blessed :)

6 years old!!
Miss Carly turned six years old and I just can't believe it! She was so excited for her birthday. She knew Grandma and Grandpa were coming on her birthday so that made it even more unbearable for her to wait!  She was so excited for her crown from school and her cake.  
She loved all her gifts and had to change into her Repunzel dress right away.
Some things about Carly:
*She is almost done with Kindergarten and is so excited for 1st grade.
*She is a super busy body. She has to be entertained 24/7. It wears me out but she just wouldn't be Carly if she wasn't this way.
* She loves to draw us pictures and leave them next to our side of the bed.
* She loves baby Annie and constantly wants to kiss her.
*She thrives on a schedule and order.  If something is out of order she is the first one to let us know.
*She is doing really well at reading and loves to try and read whatever words she sees.



Below are just random pictures from the last week or so.



Annie's first trip to the lake.


Annie's blessing Day
May 27, 2012
We decided (like in the past) to bless Annie at home while my family is in town. It was such a sweet blessing for a sweet little girl.  I'm so grateful to have her!

So is Miss Haiven trying to eat Annie or give her kisses? ;) I understand she can't leave her alone and just loves her to pieces. Man, I wish we could have been there too. :( Love the bday pictures and Carly's cake is so cute.
