Our Family 2011

Time is so Precious

Today Tj comes to show me a project he has been working on after church. I was doing dishes and getting laundry done some of  the little tasks that seam to take  a lot  of my time these days.  While he was busy cutting out BYU fabric to make an outfit for his brand new Leopard stuffed animal. He ask me where is the stappler and begins to show me how he has cut 4 holes for the legs to fit through but just needs to make it all stay together.  I could see how he had spent so much time cutting out a outfit, and if I just took a few minutes and sewed  it together it could look great. I am so glad I got to spend some one on one time with my sweet little boy. In life I get so caught up in all the task that need to be done that I don't always take the time to play with my children. And today it was so nice to feel the sweet and tender love of my son. I really needed it.

Halloween

Happy 8th Birthday Connor

My little girl is growing up she is on her way to Summer Camp with some good friends. She will be gone 5 days to Camp Clear Creek. I know she will have a good time. When I dropped her off at my Elementary School to Catch the bus a flood of memories came to me. I remember the fun time I had at Clear Creek and All the good times in Elementary school.
