Were up to a whole lot of nothin, really...

I feel like I haven't updated my blog in so long, I was starting to feel guilty. Just for my own lack of journaling. That's why I decided to start this little blog. So I could have a way to document my little family, and I haven't been that good at it lately.
We haven't been up to much. Both Bailey and Kylie were "Riders of the Week" in the last two weeks.
It is a little way the school honors the kids for good citizenship and attendance. They were both pretty proud of their accomplishments. The twins had fun too.

On the way to school.
Kylie in line for the morning announcements.

Bailey on her day!
I have to say my kids are pretty darn cute...

We are just ENJOYING a winter of temperatures that fluctuate 30 degrees from one day to the next, but at least were all staying healthy (knock on wood).
Hey at least that's Something!

Bailey's Baptism


Bailey on her Baptism day with Grandma Precious! We are so proud of her!

The four generations. What a treasure to have Great-Grandma there.

Bailey and Scott just before entering the waters of Baptism.

I asked Bailey how she felt after her baptism and she said she felt "clean".
She was so excited and has been carrying her scriptures around ever since. She asked me today if she could read them for her reading homework. I'm so proud and happy to see that my daughter wants to do what's right. She is such a good girl.
I hope I can help guide her down the right paths through this life. I know that I cant force her to do whats right, and sometimes she will choose something that might not be the best choice, I know I had to learn through experience, and she is my daughter after all. But I pray every day that my children will be beacons of good in this world where everything is so dark and twisted. I hope they can weather the storm of these times and be pillars of strength to the ones who might be weak or straying off the path of righteousness, I know that Heavenly Father saved the strongest spirits for last. I don't have to look very far to see that it is true.

My little girl, growing up...
