"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."

New porch and of course more of Annie


Because of this guy we now have a freshly painted back porch that looks 20 years newer and so much nicer!!



I couldn't resist posting these pictures. I love them!

Annie hit one week yesterday and I just can't believe it. Time needs to slow way down so I can enjoy my little newborn just a little longer.  We are just loving her to pieces.  I for one cannot get enough of her. I just want to hold her all day long and I'm not going to lie, I pretty much do! It's funny how it's so different than my other two. Carly was my first, your always kind of in a fog with your first baby. You love and cuddle them whenever you want but your so concerned and stressed if your doing everything right that you, or at least I, wasn't able to just relax and enjoy her like I should. Sam surprised us and came so quickly I don't remember much of when he was so little (Thank heaven's for video cameras) and I look at Carly and Sam now and see how old they are getting and how fast it went. I want to cherish every second of every day with Annie while she is so new. 
We just love her!

Your porch looks amazing! Totally makes your house look different, but I love it! Is he for hire?

And you said it perfectly, Axel was held more & I tried to cherish him more then I did the girls, not because I love him more but I saw first hand how quickly time will pass by! Enjoy her!!
