"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

The sweetest big brother....

today while at church, after i had to run outside and throw up a few times (thank you pregnancy for that)....nick took the boys into their classes, kiptin is a new little sunbeam so he is in singing time first with kaylin and the jr primary...after doing my thing outside nick and i came in and sat on the stairs inside right by the primary room, our class was full and i still wasnt feeling too well so we just decided to sit there till the next classes started. Kaylins teacher came out and said, "i have to tell you what just happened in there with little kiptin....kaylin looked over and kiptin just had these big tiger tears running down his face and kaylin told his teacher "look at my brother" and she said oh thats sad, kaylin just stood up and walked over to his little brother and wiped his tears and sat by him and put his arm around him to make him feel better." she said it was the sweetest thing she had ever seen and it just melted her heart....needless to say (even writing this) it brings happy tears to my eyes, i have the sweetest little boy(s) ever! what a super great sweet big brother my sweet kaylin is...it just melts my heart to know he takes such good care of his little brother and didnt want him to feel scared while in the new big class!

Kaylin has always been just such a sweet kid, he hates to see any kid cry or be sad and is always there to try to make them feel better but when he is so sweet and kind to his own little brother it just melts my heart over and over...there really are not words to say how sweet his little heart is, so happy and so proud of him, i couldnt ask for him to be any better. I know he will always be there to take care and watch over his little brothers!

Love you kaylin dude so much, Dad and I are always so proud of you and who you are becoming, remember to stay close to the spirit and your family!
The two sweetest boys i know! love them more then life.

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.

brothers forever
