So Good!

I just had to steal this from my friend Kim's blog for everyone that doesn't read hers. It is so good!

Prophetic Passing

I imagine he's running to Marjorie now,
Yes, running, not waving his cane.
I see him embracing his father and mother
While they keep repeating his name.

I see him now meeting his forebears,
Brother Brigham and Joseph are there.
Sweet reunion of prophets, united by service
That only such noble men share.

I see him embraced by the Savior
While Father says, "Good and well done.
So faithful in stalwart endurance, I welcome
My noble, most excellent son."

I then hear the ripples of laughter
As he says the reception's just fine,
But he hopes that he'll get an assignment or two
Since there's no need to waste any time.

I can hear his clear voice in the stillness
At the close of this sweet Sabbath day,
Have faith and move forward- there's work to be done.
President Hinckley would want it that way.

Happy Anniversary

Well, we have made it to the five year mark! Jason and I celebrated our anniversary on January 24th. I can hardly believe that five years have come and gone. I love my husband and am so happy to have him in my life. We feel good about the last five years and are excited for the years ahead. We had a fun day. We had my sister Kristin watch Jack and we hit a movie (27 Dresses) and had some good conversation and food at the movie theater. Not as romantic as some anniversaries in the past, but it was perfect because we rarely get out without Jack anymore. And that isn't a bad thing... but we enjoyed talking with each other and I especially liked coming home to a sleeping baby. The only bad thing was that Jack woke up at 645 the next morning so our plans for sleeping in were shot. Oh well. Jason took the day off and we hit the gym and then had some lunch out.
I am mad at myself for not taking a picture but plans are in the works for family pictures in the next few weeks and that will have to do.
Happy Anniversary Jase. I love you!

Resolutions!

Well, It is that time of year and like everyone else, I have made a few resolutions going into 2008. I figure that I will share them with all of you, to help me keep them and to organize my thoughts and hopes for 2008 on paper (or computer). First though, I want to say goodbye to 2007 properly.
A lot of good things happened to our family in 2007. We celebrated Jacks firsts... He learned walk, crawl, talk (he now has so many words I lose count), he gave us hugs, kisses and so much love. I think 2007 will always be the year that I learned the love of motherhood and the year that I met the coolest little boy in the world. As for Jason and I, we moved from our first house together to a little bigger one in the center of the valley. I am happy to be back on my stomping ground and so glad to feel settled. Jason's job went really well, and he thinks he is settling into a great career. We were able to compete in a half marathon, I lost 55 lbs (yay!), and were able to start being a little healthier in our eating. I am so thankful for the good year that we had and all the friends and family we shared it with.
As for my resolutions for 2008... they go as follows. (I know one of Jason's).

1- Learn how to cook. Choose at least 2 recipes a week and cook them.
2- Compete in a half marathon in April.
3- Figure out fun things to do with Jack and do something new with him everyday.
4- Read more books.
5- Read my scriptures and other church things more.
6- Save money for Jack every month.
7- Jason is going to compete in a Olympic Triatholon in July. I would be doing it with him... except...
8- Start working on baby #2
9-Potty train Jack
10- Have a fun, satisfying year!

Happy New Year to Everyone! Welcome to 2008!

Jacks First Day At Nursery

YAY! It has finally happened! My Sundays will now be mostly child free! Jack turned 18 months yesterday and now he can join the kids in nursery and I can go back to actually learning something in church! Although it was a little weird to be without him and I missed him a little, I am so excited for him and I just love watching him grow up. I am cherishing every moment with him and just love him so much! I came to pick him up and he ran out of the room with a crown on his head... he was so proud! It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. I am so excited to watch him learn all the songs and lessons that he will learn in nursery. Time sure flies when you are having fun.

Christmas Weddings!

One of my best friends, Linda, got married over the holidays. She was married in the Jordan River Temple to her cute husband, Phil, on the 27th. It was so fun to go to her wedding and be there for her on that day. I love her and am so happy for the two of them. They make an awesome couple!

Christmas Blessings

Hello All,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone! We have had a fun couple of weeks! Christmas was a huge success for Jack. He really loved the tree and all the lights, and food! I think that he had too many treats over the holidays. We had a great time with family and friends! We were able to have a Christmas party in our new house, take Jack to see Santa, see the lights at Temple Square, attend a few weddings and see family that we haven't seen in awhile. Most of all, we got to see eachother a lot and that was great!
Jack was spoiled by everyone and he got a lot of good things that he really loves. His favorite things are a piggy bank from Uncle Josh and Shannon, complete with money to put into it, a rocking horse from G and G Wiggins, and some little people sets that he is playing with right now. Jason and I had fun buying things for him and getting into the spirit of giving. We were deeply blessed by our parents and we were able to get much needed clothes, shoes and other things. I love the Christmas season and was happy to share it with Jack now that he understands a little more. I am happy to move on though... bring on 2008!
