Anyways, just wanted to let you know the happy news! Hope that you and your family are all well and happy!

Hello Family and Friends!

I woke up this morning and a wonderful thought popped into my head...." I'm going to work on the blog today!" :D
As I get on to our blog( which it took me sometime, b/c i forgot my login info.-lol) I think that it has not been that long since I have updated the blog...right?? Actually it has been over a year!! Holly smokes!
I am so sorry that it has been that long. So I have a new goal now, to work on our blog at least once a week.(Fingers crossed ;D ) Considering that I don't have the luxury of time(man-that would be an awesome to have some day!), i will not be able to give you in detail what our lives have been like the past year. But i will do my best to bring you up to speed on what is going on recently :D.
Our family is doing great! Josh just started his new job at the end of October as a 911 Dispatcher!!! Isn't that such a cool sounding job??-lol. He is in training right now and feels like his brain is going to explode with information. He reminds me a lot of those commercials for "bing.com" where the people just start spitting out random information. Except in Josh's case it is all about the fire department and emergency services in Bakersfield-lol. He is working so hard and I know that he is going to do just great! I love him so much!

Kimberly and Wyatt are growing up right in front of our eyes ( quickly!) We noticed it more so when we went on a family vacation to Disneyland for two whole days! It was a blast! It was Wyatt's first time and he loved every minute of it! And he loved every ride! No joke, he went on the Matterhorn THREE times! To bad he isn't t

all enough yet b/c he would have gone on and loved Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain!

Kimberly got meet Snow White and Tinkerbell. It is such a neat moment when your child gets to meet a live version of some of her favorite fairy

tales. And yes...I teared up...hush! ; )

It was such an awesome two days, we got to really have some quality time with our kids. Not to mention we were in Disneyland!! It is one of my favorite places ever...heck i could go right now!

Now we are back from the Happiest Place on Earth, life has been moving at warp speed! With training, childcare, church, meetings, cake classes, and lets not forget the never ending laundry!

As I look back this past year we have been truly

blessed, even when life seemed to come down on us ( hard at times) we knew with all our hearts the Lord was mindful of us and was taking care of us. Most the time taking care of us through our dearest family and friends.Thank you a million times for all your love and support. We couldn't ask for better people to enrich on our lives.

See you next week!

Here are some photos of our Family Vacation to Disneyland! Yay!

Random pictures of our wonderful family :D

Two of my recently favorite quotes and a butterfly

"We no longer have the luxury of spending our energy on anything that does not lead us and our families to Christ." - Sherri L. Dew

"A woman's heart should be so lost in God that a man needs to seek Him in order to find Her."
-Unknown

About a couple of weeks ago Josh and I were asked to speak in Sacrament at church. Our topics were on trials, why we have them, and how to over come them. One of the things that i referred to in part of my talk regarding why we have trails; was by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of our church. It reads :

"Your answer may be found in considering a butterfly. Wrapped tightly in its cocoon, the developing chrysalis must struggle with all its might to break its confinement. The butterfly might think, Why must I suffer so? Why cannot I simply, in the twinkling of an eye, become a butterfly?
Such thoughts would be contrary to the Creator's design. The struggle to break out of the cocoon develops the butterfly so it can fly. Without that adversity, the butterfly would never have the strength to achieve its destiny. It would never develop the strength to become something extraordinary.
Adversity can strengthen and refine us. As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people. Even when we are called to sail through troubled waters, we need to know the place of adversity in shaping our divine potential.
If only we would look beyond our present suffering and see our struggles as a temporary chrysalis. If only we would have the faith and trust in our Heavenly Father to see how, after a little season, the we can emerge from our trails more refined and glorious"
(Isn't that just awesome! :D)
