Joyous Reunion

We are really going to miss our Beloved Prophet! I know that he is happy and in the presence of our Heavenly Father. He has taught us all so much, and mostly for me the importance of the Temple, and temple work! I love this man, and he will be missed by all. I also know that whom ever is to be our next prophet, will be a man called of God and will lead us in righteousness.

“Faith in something greater than ourselves enables us to do what we have said we'll do, to press forward when we are tired or hurt or afraid, to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming and the course is entirely uncertain.”

President Gordon B. Hinckley

Making Wedding Invitations

On Saturday Marlee, Beth, Heather, Me, Dana, Mom, and Jamie and Sandee (Paul's mom and sister) got together and made all the wedding invitations!! It was pretty fun, lots of laughing and playing and eating of yummy food!! They are done thought!! So I thought I would give you a sneak peak at what they look like!!!!

Lukas!!

Lukas is such a doll!! He is so well mannered for going through such hard stuff. This was on Sunday he was having so much fun with this toy!! Isn't he just precious????

Emma!!

Isn't Emma just the cutest girl ever??? This was her first sucker and she had so much fun eating it. She thought it was the greatest! The ones of her in her new dress was on Sunday~ didn't she look so cute, and shes dancing!! Thanks grandpa and Terri for the dress!!

Ps~ Now that I know how to do these collages that's probably what you are going to see a lot of. Its so much easier than posting 9 separate pictures!!

Theron!!

Theron has got to be the funniest most random kid ever!! He is always doing something funny!! Last week Theron stayed over and this is what he was doing. He cracks me up!

Beths Charity Ball Turn Out!!!

Beth's Charity Ball was HUGE Success!! Everyone had so much fun!! There were about 100 or so people that came and she raised a little over 3,000 Dollars!!!! Yeah!!! Its all going to Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth to the Oncology Ward! Beth is such a doll, she is always thinking of someone else. I mean how many 15 year olds do you know that would want their 16th birthday a charity ball?? Almost none!! It was a lot of fun and Its going to be a yearly event. Heather is putting the charity foundation together and we are all going to be on the board its going to be bigger and better every year!! The Charity is A New Year of Hope Foundation!! In Lukas's name!! So we hope to have all of you there next year that were not there this year!!!

Happy Birthday Beth and Good Job!!! Thank you to all those who donated!! It will be very much appreciated by all those children it will benefit!!

Ps I decided that there were so many pictures I would just do a collage of them, hope you like!! If you click on the picture it will get bigger so you can see them better!

After it was all over, those of us left went outside and let all the balloons go, kinda symbolic! It was really cool!!

Beth's Charity Ball!!

Charity Ball!!!!

My sister Beth is having her Sweet 16th Birthday Party!! She decided to have a Charity Ball, even before we knew Lukas was sick. Now that we know Lukas is sick the focus has changed toward Lukas! She is asking that everyone please just donate instead of bringing her gifts. She is giving ALL the donations to Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth. They are an amazing hospital and have taken such good care of Lukas! So please come and have fun and support this great cause.

Friday 1*18*08 7:00 pm till 11:00 pm Waxahachie The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Building 2418 Brown St., Waxahachie, TX 75154

There will be dancing and treats!! Come dance with your family or sweet heart! We are going to be doing this every year now, hopefully it will just get bigger and better and we can start donating to the American Cancer Society as well!!

This is a dress up thing, but does not have to be black tie!

New Years Eve

New Years Eve!! We had fun even though everyone was sick. We ended up going to my moms since Coen and I were a little sick. We had fondue for dinner and the kids just played. They had fun. Emma got tomatoes all over her new shirt, I hope it comes out!!! Anyway, Coen and Theron have so much fun with the microphones. They were singing to us as loud as they could!! They also had fun throwing the balls at my mom for her to catch, then she would throw them back and they would just laugh!!! So it turned out to be a fun evening ringing in the new year!!!!!
