"I am thankful to Heavenly Father when He answers my prayers..."




We took family pictures on November 8th, 2006 at Las Sendas in Mesa, Arizona. The sunsets here lately have been breathtaking...and hopefully we captured a few good pictures for our Christmas cards this year! Payton is almost 4 years old and Sydney is 17 months. Pretty babies!

My college roommate Talia came to Arizona for a short visit with her baby, it was so much fun. She is a photographer (t-graphicsonline.com) and she took our family pictures. How grateful I am for my family. They are so beautiful to me and very much an answer to my prayers.

Payton's primary program part was:
"I am thankful to Heavenly Father when He answers my prayers. One time, I lost my toy fish and my diver, and I prayed to Heavenly Father, and He helped me find it."

Fall has come and gone....




Well, my favorite time of year has come and gone. And it is nearly Christmas. That is hard to believe. We did have an enjoyable fall, however. The weather here is Arizona is so nice right now. And we were able to go to Idaho and enjoy the fall leaves for a few days. We also had a super halloween here in Mesa. The kids were the gang from "Toy Story 2" and our Buzz, Jessie, Woody and Bullseye were so cute. They all had a fun time together. And once Sydney and Payton figured out what trick or treating was really all about, they were all for it! We just returned from Thanksgiving in St. George. It was a nice little break and fun to see all the family. Thanksgiving is always a time to give thanks. We went around the table (sort of sarcastically by some) and I said I was thankful for my health. And truly, I am. I feel like many people in my life are struggling with their health right now and it breaks my heart. I suppose it's all part of this earth life, but it sure is awful. Knock on wood, I guess, I am so thankful to be a healthy, strong (ok, sort of strong) person. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you...especially Grandpa Moulton. And speaking of thankful, I could not be more enthused that the primary program is over! And it went so well, even if Payton "stole the show"...all my Love to you!
