T & T

T&T You may be wondering "what is that?" Trials and Tribulations of course, the words that are so bad I have to initial them. I have yet to post a spiritual thought yet, maybe because I'm too busy ranting at politicians or birds but I felt very touched by this quote today as I picked out a quick story to read in the Ensign. It puts T&T into a whole new light for me and a little light bulb went on over my head as to the realization of why people say the word joy simultaneously with Trials. So here is the quote...
"Always remember that God sees not as man sees; that he does not willingly afflict his children, and that if he requires them to endure present privation and trial, it is that they may escape greater tribulations which would otherwise inevitably overtake them. If He deprives them of any present blessing, it is that he may bestow upon them greater and more glorious ones by-and-by."
-Elder George Q. Cannon

Festivities

All of our random Holiday Moments...


Jara in her new church dress from Grandma Wheeler, she calls it her "rina" (ballerina) dress


Jara and Jenna playing football on New Year's Eve. Jara and Jenna have spent every New Year's together.

Jack still likes to be cuddly.


Jack smiled and cooed all Christmas morning while we opened presents.
Jack and Ella-what a difference only 4 months can make. They are plotting against Jara already!
Jara and Grandpa calling Bingo numbers on Christmas Eve. Everyone won but my mom, the planner of the event. Jordan won makeup he was kind enough to trade to me.
Jara tucking in her baby. If you zoom in you will see "baby" nestled in the blankets.
What happens when you are given treats as you are driving and you throw your diaper bag on the seat. Ooops!

What I found in the shower one morning. This plastic goat keeps appearing in strange places.

The girls singing vocals for guitar hero. Yes, it was that bad. Ashley and I should have let Sublime die with the Suzuki in '99.
Jara chowing down on pizza at Jordan's b-day party, she's actually using a fork.

Jed and his spawn.


Jed and his hedger. I will update when he has groomed our plants into elephants.


Jara and her kitchen. She was so excited when she saw it Christmas morning she covered her eyes and fell to the floor.

What too much Guitar Hero can do to a 2 year old. Now that the holidays are over Jara's rock star era has ended.
