Our Family: My new year resolution....

"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

My new year resolution....

Who ever thought this tiny little pill could be such a kicker...not me....these little guys put you through some MAJOR hot flashes like i have never experienced before, and its not just once or twice a day, its about every 20 to 30 minutes day and night for about 2 weeks...yuck, then when it finally goes away after about 5 to 10 min you get freezing cold and by that time you start all over again. I desperately don't want to take them again, two rounds was bad enough, knowing whats going to happen is not fun...but what do you do. I have to keep telling myself "it will all be worth it" but its still so hard. We have been trying to get prego for 18 months i believe now and seriously I'm done with it all so we finally decide to just try these little pills but now I'm not sure if i can do it again. This month i doubled my dose so yes the hot and cold flashes were twice as bad but if it works i will have no complaints...i did all the charting and testing this month and they were positive that the pill did its job so now it up to my body to do the rest so our fingers are crossed so everyone cross your fingers for me!
So this new year my resolution is GET FREAKING PREGNANT LADY!
so all your prayers and thoughts i welcome. 8)

Kaylin's Funnies!

"kaylin you need to sleep in your own big boy bed"

"but that is my 3 year old bed and I'm 4 so now I can sleep in this bed with you. its a 4 year old bed"

"I can do it...see mom, fixed"

(a very stupid mom moment for sure...its sad when your 4yr old is smarter then you)

“One’s life….cannot be both faith-filled and stress-free….Therefore, how can you and I really expect to guide naively through life, as if to say, ‘Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!’ Real faith….is required to endure this necessary but painful developmental process.” Neal A. Maxwell
