1 month to Asher
watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,"
which wasn't quite as wonderful as I remember it being as a kid
poor guy has a fever but after a little dose
of tylenol he was ready for some Trick-or-Treating!
“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”
Mothers,
“Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are and better than you have ever been as you try to make honest effort, however feeble you may sometimes feel that to be. …Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones….The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you…. If you strive to love God, if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do….Remember, remember all the days of your motherhood: ‘Ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.’ Rely on Him. Rely on Him heavily. Rely on Him forever. And ‘press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope.’ You are doing God’s work.”
Jeffrey R. Holland, “Because She Is a Mother,” Ensign, May 1997

So cute!!! I hope Beckam feels better. You are looking great already, like always!
Congrats, only 3 more to go. All your boys are going to be studs, and when they come together and unite (much like Voltron or even the, yes, The Power Rangers) they will become Studtron. Its early. Miss you guys, Cheryl, give Micah a hung for me and tell him he had me a hello. Bye

How precious and huggable you all look! I miss all of you! When does Jaden have another vacation?
Lots of fun!! Aren't boys awesome. I love mine. I am so glad that Asher is doing well. He is a cutie.
Lolly you look wonderful. I can't believe that you just had a baby!
Wiley was a ninja too.
p.s. where are you guys going to be after Christmas? Are you going to Adam wedding or sticking around your place or heading south?
I was trying to find It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, (or whatever it's called), or The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, too but was unsuccessful (I forgot to try Borders; Target's selection is sadly wanting), so I settled on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse "Mickey's Treat" or something like that 'cause it had a jack-o-lantern on the cover... yea, not very Halloweeny at all. :( I was sad. I guess Mitch liked it, but I was wishing I were a kid again and could find it as wonderful. Ah well!
Cheryl- you look great! And Asher is so adorable.
It figures that you would be here for Thanksgiving. We are going to UT. I still REALLY want to see that book. Someday...
Cheryl- you are so cute!
you guys are so nice to me--I definitely didn't post that picture of me because I thought I looked cute but rather the little jack-0-lantern I'm holding.
shara--we haven't thought past thanksgiving yet. christmas....not going to sri lanka but everyone else is besides myron, amy and brian. so maybe we'll meet up with them and go to bako. we may do our own family thing here christmas day and then head down. WHY? what are your plans? might we get to see you? we could coordinate our plans around you if you're planning to be in cali!!
