Guess who is here???!!!

It's that time again! I am so excited to have my new little friends join me for this upcoming spring weather. My five little caterpillars arrived! They are growing so fast. I will keep you updated with all the little details. Here is a picture of them, eating, and getting fat.

And yes we had to tape them to the table because the mean monster of the house named Duke would have himself a fun little snack. They are getting fuzzy! I am so excited.

Call me mean...

While Duke was enjoying his cat nap I decided to get revenge on the little stinker. I was painting my toenails, and enjoying the fun spring weather, of course in sandals. Well the idea came into my mind.... haha yep you are right. I painted Duke's nails!!! He has matching toes just like me. Bright red!! Haha he held still while I did them, but won't hold still for a picture. He is not very happy. Oh man it feels good. =)

Simplicity in Beauty

With the fast Sunday testimony meeting a lot of the testimonies born today were on gratitude. It really made me think of the things I am grateful for. I want to share some thoughts I have had today with all of you.
Simplicity is the greatest kind of beauty. A child's laugh, and the purity that rings within their smile brings joy and happiness to all of us around them. Because of the simplicity in a laugh happiness is easy to achieve. I am grateful for laughter...

The clouds fill the sky, and fill the Earth with water, rejuvenating the plants and life on Earth.One of the most relaxing sounds is the sound of rain dropping on the roof. I fall asleep quickly whenever it rains, and the world seems to slow down just a little.
Not only do we enjoy the smell of rain, the peace and calm it brings, and the blessing of water but a simple miracle takes my breath away. With just the right amount of water, and the perfect angle of light the beauty of a rainbow takes your mind.

Beauty is simple, divine, and unique. You don't have to be a model, or have the best clothes. Beauty comes within, and is based on your heart. I know God lives, he loves us for who we are, not what we look like. I know I am a Daughter of God. I know that Joseph Smith was and is a prophet. Thomas S. Monson leads and guides the church today. The spirit is real, and I am so grateful for the power of it in my life. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have, and the knowledge I have yet to gain. Families are eternal, and the temple is a place I go to be renewed with the spirit. Never let Satan tell you otherwise. I know of these things to be true, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Sweetheart Group Pictures!

Group pictures finally arrived. =)

Who would have ever guessed that Danielle (in the gray sparkly dress) Chelsey (bright orange dress) and I would have gone to our senior sweetheart ball together. We all were best friends in 1st grade!!! Haha oh man years and years later we meet again. =) Good times, many laughs, and lots of fun!

BYU vs SAN DIEGO STATE

Well talk about a great game! BYU had their work cut out for them. Hard refs, lots of fouls, and a horrible crowd. The mockery of the crowd was harsh. Many dressed up in shirts, ties, and bike helmets. Just like a missionary. Then they would yell and chant mean cheers against BYU well when we won the game 80 to 67 they learned the true feeling of getting up every morning putting on a shirt and tie, riding your bike door to door, and getting rejected! Way to go cougars for winning honestly! I am so proud of my BYU cougars!

OH and I can't forget my mom saying at least a million times, "GET THE REBOUND!"

Valentines Day 2011

 What more can a girl ask for??? A bouquet of bright orange flowers, letters, chocolates, memories, pictures, and not to mention a dozen roses from Brother Francis. He sent flowers for me taking the time to clean his house for their surprise while they are gone. I have to admit the beauty of flowers takes my breath. God's creations are beautiful, and the love behind them makes them even more beautiful. HAPPY VALENTINE'S EVERYONE! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! <3
