Our Family: Khailos Dog Attack...

"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

Khailos Dog Attack...

On August 7, 2017, Khailo got attacked by a neighbors dog...he mistook their fence for the friends he was playing at (their backyards are dived by a fence) so he thought he was walking in the right yard but actually went into a different yard. Well they had two dogs and they just went after khai...he had shorts on and some boots which saved his ankles...the dogs knocked him down and just started bitting him....thankfully kiptin saw him over the fence and nick happened to be at that neighbors house working on his truck and he ran to the next door neighbor where khai was....khailo was SO SO smart and fast thinking, somehow he said he knew he needed to get up and run back through the fence and shut the dogs in...he did this at only 4 years old. Heaven was there to help for sure because they were bitting him so bad, his whole face, back, head, legs and arms were all bitten...doctors and the police that came over said it really was so amazing that he was able to know to do that because they have seen dogs that bit like that but it ends really bad for the kids.
We are so thankful he was able to be brave and get himself out of there before things got so much worse.

Kaylin's Funnies!

set up: nick and kaylin are playing video games.

"your not very good dad, you should let me show you how to do it"

"Iam really snart, i know stuff " (snart: meaning smart)

set up: kaylin wants to sleep in our bed.

"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"

set up: kiptin pulled the filter off the vacume and I couldn't figure out how to put it back on.

"oh mom why did you take this off, let me fix it"

"no kaylin leave it alone, let daddy fix it"

"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
