Grandma and Addie

Just thought I would share a cute picture. Hope you are all doing well!

Family Night

Ok so i know this is a really random picture of me but its the only one i could find.....hhahahahaha ...... so anyways Mom wanted me to post my lesson I gave for family night tonight. It was a talk from the Ensign by Elder Tom Perry called ''Let Him Do it With Simplicity''. I really pondered on the first paragraph before the lesson which states " Those of us who have been around a while-and Elder wirthlin and I have been around for a long time-have recognized certain patterns in life's test. There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadness, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us- to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Rober Browning etched in our minds
"THE BEST IS YET TO BE". We can't predict all the struggles and storms in life, not even the ones just around the next corner, but as persons of faith and hope, we know beyond the shadow of any doubt thath the gospel of Jesis Christ is true and the best is yet to come." After I read it I immediatly soked it up as I related it to my life. I thought of all of the cycles that constantly are in my life, the good and the bad times, and how much it is going to help to always know that "the best is yet to be" I love you family and I am so excited to see you in A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love: Alison :)

Thanks Grandma!

Addie loves her new shirts! You are the best Grandma, thank you for thinking of her. We can't wait to see you all next week.

Hello from Dad

Dear Family,
I wanted to try out this new technology and say hello to everyone. We just finished a regional Stake Conference that covered most of Arizona with a broadcast from S.LC. Bruce Hafen conducted and Boyd K. Packer presided. It was directed to all the members in Arizona. It was nice to hear about the three new temples that are planned and the blessings this will bring to all the Saints here. We are living in difficult times, but as we consecrate our labors to the building up the Kingdom of God, pay our tithing, live the commandments, follow our leaders, and live as directed by the spirit, we will be blessed.
We pray for all our family each day. As we stay united and strengthen each other through our prayers, and building each other through phone calls and communication and this NEW BLOG, we will stay united. I love each of you and leave my blessings with each of you.

Love,
Dad

These are 2 wonderful girls that are in the Twins life and I just love them. The 2 on the right, Jason and Ginette, have started dating now. The 2 on the left, Jeff and Christi, are really good friends. If I had it my way........well I don't so I won't say anything on a Public Blog....but let's just say I love these 2 girls. They have become like sisters.

A Miracle!

Jua and her special friend



There was a wonderful miracle that took place in our lives 2 weeks ago. Jason has been friends with this girl names Hua who is from Vietnam. She has been going to BYU for years now being surrounded by good LDS friends. Jason was one of those friends that she met. They connected right away and have been friends for years now. One night after Jeff and Jason did some entertainment with there ukulele's she came up to Jason and with tears in her eyes, told him she wanted to take the missionary lessons. Jason sat in on each one. She did not have a belief in God, but because of the examples that surrounded her, she was baptized 2 weeks ago. There were many people that were there to support her. She even said a few words at the end which included her testimony. Jeffrey and Jason sang a beautiful musical number, and I had the privelage to accompany them. It was a day never to forget.

Birthday Dinner

Birthday Fun!

It was the Twin's Birthdays on the 10th of this month. It was a very exciting day full of fun and celebration. Also, something that made it extra unique was they celebrated their day with another set of twin girls. Ironically, they share the same Birthday. This Birthday was the last Birthday that they will share together in Provo. Jason moves to Washington D.C. in the winter and they both graduate soon. We celebrated their Birthday all evening. We started by going to an amazing, delicious Italian Restaurant and were serenaded by an Italian singer. Enjoy some of the pictures:)
