Thought for the Day


"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Elijah & Scouts

Elijah has been in Scouts for about a month now - he LOVES it!!!
This past Wed. he had his first Pack Meeting and received his Bear Award. We are so proud of him. I'm also proud of Bret because he has been working so much with Eli! :)

When we first got to Pack Meeting they weren't quite ready yet and Elijah turns to me and says, "Mom, can I go and play with my Scout friends?" That was just so great for me. Elijah hasn't always been so social. I guess he's coming out of his shell now.

Here are some pictures of that night:

So - Howie's been wearing a scout uniform for a year now...He can't wait for another year to be able to wear it LEGALLY! Isn't scouts FUN! I really don't like the part where you have to put the badges on - cause I'm not into ironing or sewing. So you have fun with that!
