"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences. " Gordon B. Hinckley, BYU, 2006

You Would Have Loved This

Every year at Christmas time I pull out my Christmas music. The lyrics and melody of the songs bring back such warm and inviting memories. This year I haven't been able to find my Cori Connor's CD "Sleepy Little Town." It is my most favorite Christmas CD of all time, given to me by my mother-in-law many many years ago. It reminds me of my brother, my uncle, my grandparents and all those family members that have passed on before me. While searching on youtube I came across this video that mormon soprano had put together of "You Would Have Loved This" and couldn't believe my eyes. There it was. A little gift. And so I want to share that little gift with you. Please enlarge the screen so that you can enjoy it even more...

To order her music go to www.coriconnors.com or itunes. I hope it becomes one of your favorites too...

It's All About The Lights

This year Mark and I decided (or should I say I begged) that we should put up lights on our house to get the kids excited about Christmas. I couldn't believe it but Mark climbed up on our roof in order to get it done. They actually turned out pretty good...


Thanks Mark!!

Then last week I took the kids down to Thanksgiving Point to check out the lights over there. These first couple of pictures were taken by Cole as we were driving...




We also watched the movie, Deck the Halls. Soooo funny! Must see! Carson and I laughed throughout the whole thing. It was just all about the lights last week...

My Favorite Pic

I took some pictures of the kids a few weeks ago. This one was my favorite...
