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

chipmunks and magic phones
chipmunks - most of you know that our back yard backs up to the mountains over here by us. we have a cinder wall, but there's total wildlife behind us. we've heard the coyotes (not the mexican smugglers - although they are back there too). lately we planted our little garden and we now have a family of chipmunks eating our sprouts! the kids think it's soooo cute. me - not so much. livvy and i have to keep chasing them off each morning and throwing rocks in their general direction.
livvy had a funny idea this morning. she was telling me about how "awesome" it would be to have a magic phone. you could call someone and then travel through the phone to them. so she's been all over today; she took some orange julius to grandma v, dozer went with her and grandpa played with him; she went to say hello to grandma and grandpa little, but grandpa was at work so she stopped over there for a few minutes; and she also went to give daddy hugs and kisses at work.
anyone else want her for a little while - australia??!!

Green Fingers, Raspy Lungs, and a Dirty House
Well, as some of you know, we recently had Jake's Baptism. And along with that came a ton of family! We had SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun with all of our loved ones, but now I am real sick. I'm going on 2 weeks now with a horrible cough and can barely get any breath at times. Forget doing anything like talking (Bret liked that) or overexerting (hence the dirty house). I've been doing a lot of Mafia Wars, sleeping, and drinking homemade Orange Julius.
Now I know you are wondering about the green fingers - Elijah and I just painted his PineWood Derby car (green). As I type I can see the thumb and first finger of my left hand going clickety, click, click.
Anywho, I am really wanting to post the video I made for Jakey's Baptism. I'm not sure if it will be possible, but I think I'll give it a try tonight after monkey's are in bed.
I also wanted to apologize real quick for letting my blog become dilapitated and overgrown with old posts. :) I will try to rectify that in the next few days/weeks.
My sister and her fam come next week. Maybe we'll have some really fun photo's to post for GMa & GPa V.
Hugs!
