"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)

A few people have been asking us what we have been so busy with and my response would be i dunno just busy, but it just dawned on me as i was picking pictures to put on this post, that we been busy being a family! These past couple of weeks, i have really sat back and looked at my little family, how i love spending time with them. Esp. with all the attacks on family more so lately, i have learned to treasure them more and celebrate being a family.
If Kimberly had to choose between going to live with the Disney Princesses at Disney Land or living with us...i fear that she would take it in a heartbeat :D She loves dressing up and telling everyone around her that she Ariel. We recently got her the new Little Mermaid movie and it is sooo cute! Kimberly is still into coloring and drawing. About 2 weeks ago she made Josh and i both tear up with this drawing...we felt that our little girl was growing up so fast.
"Look Mommy its a tulip!" I was so proud of her.
Baking time!! I found this puffy bakers hat and matching apron in the dollar section at the Target Great land on Rosedale. I bought the same for Wyatt but in blue. Whenever I ask Kimberly to help me make something she insist on putting on her "baking gear". Even to just help pour milk into to cereal bowl in the morning...lol. These pics are her first time helping me bake a cake for daddy.
Her favorite part was licking the "sticks". It was so much fun. I realized during our baking event that i need to do more Mommy daughter activities. Sometimes i get to busy trying to take care of her basic needs that i forget that i need to nurture and help her grow. :D
Wyatt Wyatt BowByatt Bananafana MowByatt!
Wyatt is still growing like a football player, 2lbs shy of his big sister. He loves reading books at night. And recently is crazy about the movie CARS. For about a week now he has started to eat with a fork and spoon and eats at the table now, no more booster seat :D Wyatt also really loves Little Einsteins! And loves running to the t.v. to point out where Big Jet is or what the next item that they need to find may be.
Josh and I are finally on the right track in reaching our weight loss goals. I have been so proud of Josh and his hard work that he has done these past couple of weeks. He is a great example to me. Luckily the new season of the Biggest Loser:Families started last night and it will be a great motivator each week to watch and loose the weight right along with the contestants on the show. Please keep us in your prayers as we strive to reach our goals and keep those cheeseburgers and fries away!
From our family to yours, we wish you a great rest of the week.

Hello there Ladies and Gents!!
I am sure you all have been wondering that very question..."Where the heck is the Luchau Family?! Well, we haven't gone any where, it was our camera. I had a blond moment and tried to take a pic with it and it did not work,tried it again the next day still did not work. So since May our family has been under the impression that our camera is broken. When in fact all we really needed to do was change the batteries...and not only that, but make sure that they were in the right way...
Now that everyone has a had a good laugh, lets move on to more important things, like what we have been up to:D.(Seriously...you can stop laughing now...)
The kids have been growing up so fast in front of our eyes, every day we are reminded how lucky we are to be parents. Kimberly is still into princesses and dressing up. She also has been really into coloring and drawing. Our fridge is often covered in her beautiful artwork:D.Kimberly also has been really into these children scripture movies("Living Scriptures") that we signed up for. They are great and it helps her understand the things that she learns from us and primary.She also went to the Zoo and the beach recently and had a blast. Also keeps asking when she is going to be able to go back again(lol).
Wyatt(our line backer...no joke)loves to tackle his older sister to the ground and then put his big 'ol toddler thighs around her buddy. Now we don't encourage violence in our home, but it has become one of our fav. past times to wrestle with him.It is all for fun and I make sure the kids do not do it out of anger :D. Wyty is freakishly strong and knocks us down with ease. His vocabulary is growing and we are really enjoying that. He is also really into instruments and loves to dance to music(just like his big sis)
Josh and I have been keeping busy. With work and the kids our weeks go by like hours. At the end of last month Josh went with his good friend to Comic-Con down in San Diego, Ca. He had a blast! We missed him terribly, but kept busy thanks to one of my favorite people.(Love you Annie!!)
I love to do crafts so I have been busy doing things for the kids rooms and I am just about finished. The beginning of this month has flown by for us both for two reasons...reading the fourth book in the Twilight Series(The greatest series EVER!!)And getting ready for my Mom, her husband Gene and my sister Audrey to come and visit! They just left on Sunday and it was a blast.It was so wonderful to see them. And even a bigger joy for them to see Kimberly and Wyatt. (Thank you guys for coming all this way, it was great! Miss you already!All our Love!)
So there ya have it, i know that it is not much, but who really has the time to read every little detail of what we have been doing since our last post...? I know that i don't have the time to type it(lol) But i am happy to say that our camera is working and we will be updating our blog more frequently. Thank you to all of your "hello's" and "Where the heck are you's??" we really appreciate them. We love you all!

For the past few weeks we have gotten comments about Wyatt's curly locks and how oh what a beautiful little girl he is or could be...not exactly what you want to hear about your SON. I have been wanting to cut his hair for sometime now, but it seems, as usual that the weeks go by like minutes and his hair just kept getting longer. Well, we finally did it.
I have been asking family and friends if they knew how to cut little boys hair and or if they would not mind doing it, they all told me ( more or less) "i don't know" , "too afraid", and "good luck with that...". Well it needed to be done asap, so we called around to different hair cut places yesterday evening and they were either closed or were also too afraid to do it b/c he was so young. I'm thinking, well where the heck do ppl. take their boys to get their hair cuts???!! Then it dawned on me...The Karrer Family has THREE boys! So i called them up and they said to go to Great Clips and that they do a really good job. So we piled in the car and drove down. As we got out of the car i started to get nervous(weird huh?), i think that it was hitting me how much time really does fly and that Wyatt is growing up into a little boy. Anyways, we went in and he did so good. Wyatt sat so still for his stylist(lol) Jennifer. She did great too, just check out those pics! Thank you Jennifer and thank you Karrer Family for the referral, love you guys!
