My little helper!

So this weekend was kind of a busy one for me, I had a teacher appreciation activity on saturday at my house for the primary teachers and then on sunday I had to speak, then give sharing time and then we had a trek family reunion at our house that night! Plus I had a meeting to go to. But anyway, enough complaining. This is a picture of Grace helping me clean the house. On the way home from school she kept telling Jenny, who was driving the carpool, that she needed to get her home so she could help me with Sarah and help me clean! Now I had already cleaned the mirror, but I heard water running and came in to see what was going on and found Grace washing the window with a rag that had hand soap all over it. I just said Thank you! She then repeated this help on Sunday for me. I do love that she likes to help! It will be nice though when she is old enough for it to really help, of course by then se probably won't want to!

What Color are you?

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Blue

You're blue — the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you — they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue — and patently you!

What are you?

Gordon B. Hinckley

I saw this video of Pres. Hinckley and thought it was really good. I have been so happy to have him as a prophet while I have grown up. I have learned many things from him, as I am sure many of you have.

Where does the time go?

So I have been thinking a lot lately about how fast time goes by! Maybe it's because I am pregnant with my third child and can just hardly believe it! I can't believe that Grace is as big as she is. Maybe that's also because she acts like she's older than I am, who knows. So I had all of these old pictures on an old computer that wasn't hooked up anymore and Jamie hooked it up for me yesterday so I could get the pictures off. This is a picture of Grace when she is 19 months old which is how old Sarah is. I thought this was funny because she climbed in this box with all of her stuffed animals and got in there all by herself, and was quite pleased. She is also wearing a necklace in this picture. Grace wore a necklace, or in most cases many necklaces every day for about 6 months. Even to church she would show up with these mardi gras beads! Now she is in Primary and stating all of these opinions. She seems so big, and I know she will only seem bigger when the baby comes. So anyway, like my sister Heather has been saying on her blog I just need to cherish every moment because they are gone so fast!
