Our New Kitchen Table!

Well, it's out with the old--in with the new! After nearly 2 1/2 years of marriage, it was time! I was telling Mom--now we will have a place to put people's plates when they come over..still not a whole lot of room for the people...but the table can fit lots of plates! :)

No, we have a nice little place here to rent in Richfield, Utah. We have really gotten into the Yard Saling thing on Saturday's. We help balance each other out. But anyhow--this table was from a good home--the County Commissioner! (I'm still not quite sure exactly what that means, but he said he works with fighting/controlling fires in the area, and it sounded important, so we felt pretty special we own his old table! :) They even through in a really nice cocoa table, and end table for us! :) We are so blessed!

April Adventures with Joanna Banana

Our little Ballerina

More Pictures...

Well, I had a wonderful Birthday weekend! Mom...the birthday ferry came to my house, bearing gifts of service, and Aggie Ice Cream! She asked, what can I clean for 1/2 an hour? She scrubbed and scrubbed my tub 'til it was white again! I bet it hasn't seen that pure of color for years... :) What a sweet mother I have!

Nephi brought me home a bunch of delicious treats, and we got a really fun new game! Come play it with us sometime! :) We figure sometimes new games are a good investment, because then we have something fun to do besides just watch movies!

We Thank The O God for a Prophet! :)

This morning Joanna woke up with the yucky stomach flu. I was so touched as I held her in my arms, and read her stories, and sang her some songs so early in the morning (for me.) She was suffering, and basked in the comfort of my arms, and company. It feels so good to be needed sometimes! I felt joy in this moment...even though the through up was not inspiring...I could find joy being with Jos! I knew that if I were sick like her...I would want someone to coddle me and be attentive to me too. :)

I pulled up one of the FRESH talks from the Young Women's Broadcast! FRESH off the press! The press online I guess. :) It was so GOOD to hear the prophet's voice! One thing he said that really inspired me was this...and I paraphrase...:)

"By the yard, Life is hard..

But by the inch, Life is a cinch!" He encouraged us to ENDURE! And that we just need to "Look to Heavenly Father for guidance ONE day at a time." :)

I CAN DO THAT! :)

More pictures...I'm getting better at this (sort of) :)

It's A Wonderful Life!

Well, here we are...February almost half over! I think it's time I post some pictures! Joanna is blossoming like a rose, she is so smart and cute. :) Today I did her pretties and put a bit of gel in her hair so it would stay nice for our date tonight.

She had her one year check up on Tuesday. She had an ear infection...but with all her sleep and medication I think things are finally moving on. What a blessing! She has started drawing with crayons that she got from the restaurant we ate at in the Gateway Mall. She draws on paper, and bathtub so far... :) What a little artist she will be!

Nephi is doing well, and staying exceedingly busy. He's working diligently on his senior design project to help deter the dear away from people's garden's and flowers. He's such a smart boy! :) Joanna loves him... Especially when he plays with her and gives her bottles with milk.

I have been reuniting up with a bunch of my old room mates from college--which I felt was one way I could use my time, and it is such a blessing! Nephi and I met with Megan and Rachel last Friday...and this Friday it will be Cynthia! Keeping in contact with good friends is a blessing!
