a quick one

The 4th was fun, we did regular 4th stuff :) swam, BBQ, fireworks, I taught a class and loved it (minus getting my back all messed up). Chris and I celebrated 12 years of marriage on Sunday. I love him and couldn't imagine a better person to be with. 

As I was studying Preach my Gospel this morning this scripture struck me so profoundly and made me wonder why I had never thought that way before. 

in D&C 130: 22 The ^aFather has a ^bbody of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of ^cSpirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not ^ddwell in us.

If the Holy Ghost had a body he couldn't be there to comfort us. We couldn't have the spirit when we were really really struggling. I am so thankful that I read this today and that it was exactly what I needed to hear. I needed to know today that Heavenly Father knew I would need help and comfort. So he chose to give us this wonderful gift. 

Tuesday

why does life seem to never slow down!!

photos first than other detail next.

Will got his chipped tooth fixed. it was stayed good for almost a week now. Jeffrey and Annmarie didn't have as much fun at the dentist. They each had to get fillings. 

Henry got this blanket from Aunt Michelle. He loves this thing. He will cover himself up with it every night. love that he loves something that his aunt made him.

I'm pretty sure I posted about this but here are the photos from the icubs game. most beautiful night!

my friend gave Jed swim lessons last week. He loved it.

I loved the lessons because there was a lot of this.

Henry climbs on anything he can. Plus he loves strawberries!

I have been teaching way to many classes ( 10 -12 the last 3 weeks each week) this is what happens when I cannot shower until 8pm and I'm too lazy to "do" my hair then wake up to teach a 5am class.

We were at the Allison's house and the kids all donned jerseys of the same colors and played an awesome game. Loved this!

Henry helping stir for at least 20 min. He was so mad when we had to close the lid.

This week has been great! today while driving home we had the windows down and the kids were singing and dancing (only the kids. . . ok maybe a bit by me too) to music that was probably way to loud. What matters is they were happy and we had a great time

The missionaries came of last week and challenged us to use preach my gospel more often. I have used it everyday but 1 since the challenge and I love it!

Jed loved swim lessons. He really did well. He will actually swim a few feet to you with no help and not freaking out. Love it!

Will and Jeffrey have been playing baseball a ton lately. I love it! they are funny to watch with their shop vac extender bats and the tennis ball they use. I love how creative kids are.

Annmarie is loving playing with our neighbors. they all seem to have more girls and more girly things. I still cannot figure out where this all came from

Henry is learning that not everyone gives him everything he wants. too bad it is mom and dad but it had to start somewhere
