Our Family: June 2019

"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

Khailo's happenings

I've been meaning to write a few things but busy is an understatement at the moment.

So first, khailo was playing baseball with kip who was trying to show him how to bat..well khai didn't back up enough and kip didn't notice...
SMACKED khai right in the face by his eye...stitches and black shiner!

Khailo also started playing machine pitch baseball, he was struggling with knowing when to swing at the ball...he's played 3 games with no luck and this mommy heart was feeling so dang bad for him....well last night at his game, he smacked the freaking ball!!!!!!!!!!!!
He didn't even know what to do when he hit, I just started screaming "run khai run"....sooo dang cute!

Also this week khailo learned how to finally ride his bike...he was so dang happy/proud of himself!!!

Next up, khailo has this nickname... we call him gus gus (it's the mouse on Cinderella who likes to eat)
He is always wanting a snack or a meal.... two things about this..

1. We were talking to him about the resurrection and what happens and he said "but can i still be a gus gus when that happens"

2. This morning I needed to go to the store, we were pretty much out of everything, khailo comes into my room and says "mom I'm hungry" I told him to go get some food... he then says "there's no more food for gus" lol!!

“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
