Prophetic Passing

One of my friends on the Mommies board posted this poem about President Hinckley. I think it's beautiful.

The world will miss this great man.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.

Kaycie's Farewell

One of my Girl Scouts recently moved to Idaho. These are the pictures I took of her last couple meetings. We loved having her as part of our troop, and I wish her and her family well in their moving adventures!

Make a postcard - it's easy!

Southtowne Center competition

B'Elana's competition today was at the Southtowne Expo center. And we had to be there really, REALLY early! They performed at 9, so we were required to be there at 7:45 a.m.

There were a couple problems with the routine this week, but we still managed to get 1st place. I'm sure the girls will work hard this week!



The next competition will be at Bingham High School on February 2, then it's off to VEGAS!

Liberty Mutual Responsible Coaching Award

I'm very proud of my husband. He was awarded the Liberty Mutual Responsible Coaching Award. He will be interviewed by the local media on Monday, and the Kearns Little League football league will receive a $500.00 grant to use for equipment for the league. When I have links to the stories, I'll post them.

Li'l Devils Win!!!

B'Elana's team won! They did awesome. There was a problem with the music the first time they did the routine (the audio guy stopped their music instead of turning it up, grr!). Luckily, the coaches were able to convince the judges that our girls deserved a second chance. This is the video from the 2nd performance.



All of the Elite teams did a great job. Our other teams took first in their divisions, and our teams got the highest points for the day as well. Competition season is going really well for our girls.

Next week they are competing at the SouthTowne Expo Center. Good luck BK and all the Li'l Devils!

BK's Toothless Smile

B'Elana came home from school on Thursday from school with 2 loose teeth! The first one fell out that evening, and the second one fell out on Friday night. We accidentally left the first tooth at home when we went up to Layton for her competition. The second one fell out at the hotel last night. Unfortunately, when I went to the hotel to get the rest of our stuff, I left THAT one at the hotel (yeah, mom forgot, AGAIN!!). Fortunately, BK knew where the first one was, so we left a little note for the tooth fairy to let him know that he needs to go to the hotel to pick up the other tooth. We'll see if the tooth fairy actually gets the note. (The tooth fairy doesn't have a good reputation in our home).


I can't believe that my little girl is getting so big! She is so excited to get a visit from the tooth fairy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year one and all!

Our family has been sleeping the day away...especially me. The girls went to the Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center for their New Year's Eve party. They had pizza for dinner, crafts, movies, video games, and swimming. Deanna stayed up all night long, and B'Elana only slept for a couple of hours. They had fun and both of them really want to go back for next year's celebration.

I think resolutions are kind of silly, so I don't take them very seriously, but here is my resolution for this year:

I resolve that I'm going to have more fun this year. I had fun last year, but I want to have fun all year long!
