A little lesson on humility
It seems these last few years have been some humbling ones for me. Becoming a wife was humbling because it made me realize how much I could depend on someone, and becoming a mother required me putting any selfish desires or ambitions aside to become somebody someone else could depend on, but there has been more to this lesson of humilty for me. Every time I turn around, I am learning to recognize the areas I need to improve on, and the list seems endless!
President Lorenzo Snow said:
“We must not allow ourselves to be discouraged whenever we discover our weakness. We can scarcely find an instance in all the glorious examples set us by the prophets, ancient or modern, wherein they permitted the Evil One to discourage them; but on the other hand they constantly sought to overcome, to win the prize, and thus prepare themselves for a fullness of glory.”
I was grateful for that quote this week considering the fact that it is easy to become discouraged when we realize how far we need to go, yet I am grateful looking back for how far I have come and hope to continue on. I am submitting a book I have wrote on this subject for publication and am getting ready for some rejection. It's a project I have worked on for a few years now, and I hope to get some positive feedback. We'll see...

If only spring would stay
We had some nice weather for a little while, and we tried to make the most of it. We try and shake things up for lunch with Daddy, this day we did a picninc, but sometimes we go to his office or meet up somewhere. Tyler has broken out the dutch ovens quite a bit this spring, recently we made chocolate lava cake for the releif society Brithday dinner. We made 8 dutch ovens of the stuff. That was a lot of cake! I had to sing that night too, it was a busy evening. Thank goodness we live across the street from the church.

Jeepin'
Some good friends gave us this old jeep for the girls, and we decided to fix it up. I always wanted one of these as a kid. These are the before and after pics. The girls love cruisin' around in it. It even plays music by "DJ Barbie". I'm starting to get a glimpse of what the teenage years might bring me. Allie is a crazy driver!!
