The other day darla put a scripture on her blog...



This has long been a favorites of my mom's. But it wasn't until yesterday as I was running around battle ground lake that it really struck me. I'm pretty sure Heavenly Father was speaking directly to me and for this particular moment in my life. Strange that it was given almost 200 years ago and addressed to "brethren". Things around here have been...trying. Our faith is being tested, which I am ok with. I would like to prove to Heavenly Father that I trust him. But some times (ok ALL the times lately) I am forgetting to go about cheerfully. It is strange how my mind works, and this scripture addresses all my crazy issues. I feel like if I am not moving and planning and refiguring I will go crazy. So I trust but I don't want to "stand still". I have a hard time being cheerful and standing still. It is kind of a contradiction in terms in my mind. However...all I can think about is this scripture. I am waiting to see His arm revealed. I KNOW He has a plan for us. I KNOW He is mindful of me. When it says with "the utmost assurance" how can I doubt?!? And yet I still have to be cheerful. Here lies my challenge.

ANNNNND....





In the second picture I asked her to please smile. So you can see she just smiled around her thumb. She has had a fever and had a nasty cold for a few days and hasn't been her little perky self :( But the jammies are awesome! Thanks Grandma!

And PS- Thank you VERY much for my early birthday gift! It will be put to good use!

Space Cowboy


Look at the AMAZING quilt that came in the mail today from Grandma! Brind (Big Brind) was giddy about the cowboy theme. It couldn't be more perfect! Thanks LeAnne, we love it!

Little tiny camping trip

So the weather is deciding that it (finally) may be near summer time here, and hit 80+ this weekend for the first time in forever. Due to the nice weather and the fact that Ellynn and Jason dragged their camping gear all the way up from Utah for the week, we figured we'd squeeze in a quick trip to the back hill in Amboy. Notice the AMAZING tongs Jason made out of a tree branch so we'd have something to pull food out of the fire with. Now that's crafty, and that's what I like.
