"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

me and said "i cant hear you, you just doin dis"...and you moved your mouth as if you were talking but not making a sound to mimic what I did to you..I was dying
trying not to laugh out loud so the person on the phone wouldnt hear me!!!

You got to celebrate you birthday for two day..lucky kid.
On friday, you actual birthday we took you down to st. george for the day and got the boys out of school so they could join you
we went to the childerens museum (the one dad helped build) and played and played...
then we tried to go out and play in the water but by the time we were done at the museum it was a tad cold so you boys rode the carousel.

On saturday we did your big tractor party...I had fun making and getting all the stuff for your party..it turned out soooo cute!
you had your cute friends there and just played and played.
Dad made you a tractor cake that was so adorable!
you got lots of fun new toys.

Happy 3rd birthday to our little Khailo, we sure love the heck out of you kid!!

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.
