"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Our Christmas 08....

We had a sweet little Christmas this year since things are pretty tight. Kaylin totally got Christmas this year which made it so much fun for mommy and daddy, Santa brought him a Thomas the train ride on train and he was so in love with it...the whole time he was opening his presents he had to be sitting on "tommy" thats the trains name...i wish i would have remembered to get pictures of him at our house opening the stuff from Santa but i just video taped it. we went to parowon on Christmas eve and nick cut the ham, i got some other just cute pictures of kaylin laying around the house and playing on his train.
Christmas day was was really busy like it is every year for us...we opened our presents at home then went to my moms for some yummy thin pancakes, then my dads for more presents then nicks parents for even more presents...by the time we were done there kaylin was so done with everyone being around him and telling him what to do and what to open and look at this and that, so we went back to our house and kaylin laid on the carpet and seriously played with all his little cars he got for about 4 hours not even kidding you...he didn't even want us to talk to him so we just let him have his own time, and that's all he needed, then he was just a happy kid again...Nick and i played the wii all day and man did that kick my butt i was so sore for about 3 days strait and could hardly move my arms at all. but now i know when i need to work out just flip on the wii and get a good work out!!
i hope everyone had a good Christmas and happy holidays!










good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
