I LOVE MY FAMILY




First, I have to say I love Kangaroo Zoo. My sisters and I discovered this little gem soon after it opened and we are their number one clients. Where else can you sit and sip Diet Coke while the kids expend as much energy as possible. My boys wear shorts and tees and make me feel their sweaty hair! Just one the many joys of motherhood. These pictures aren't the best, but it is all I have of Jackie and her ADORABLE boys' visit to Utah. Emily also came from Canada and I don't have any pictures of her with her darling new haircut, but we had so much fun! I have treasured the time I have been able to spend with my sisters who now live so far away. This past month has been filled with many emotions both of great sadness and incredible joy. Two people near and dear to our hearts passed away. They were amazing examples of one who lives a Christ-like life. My heart has grieved for the family left behind while at the same time rejoicing in our knowledge of the Gospel. I was recently called to teach Relief Society and my first lesson was on the Second Coming. I cannot stop pondering on my worthiness if the Savior came tomorrow. I feel such a strong desire to be a kinder, more faithful person and to tell all of my friends and family how much I love them and how grateful I am for their strength and support!

You are such an incredible person, and I look up to you so so much! I so wish I could have been there with you all this past week but I guess it is one of the sacrifices I have to make living so far away!
