Families are Forever

About a month ago my beautiful cousin passed away. She was only a few years younger than me. We grew up together and she was one of my best friends through high school. I have so many memories with that girl that I will never forget. Death is a hard thing. I was having a sad day when one of my friends stopped by to see me. Her family experienced a similar loss recently and she knew just what to say. As she was leaving, there was this momma duck walking across the grass with her 10 baby ducklings! It made me smile. The boys came outside and we followed her around for a while.

I am grateful for the atonement and my Savior. I am grateful for friends. I know that I will see her again and that families are forever!

the pool

Our pool was pretty nasty this winter. Everything that could possibly need replaced, needed replaced. Everything stopped working all at once. I never wanted to open our blinds in the back because I had to look at "the swanp." Seriously. I was so embarassed. We finally drained it once we could and once everything was fixed we filled it back up! It was pretty weird looking at a big hole in our yard. I thought it would make a nice skate ramp! Too bad the boys dont skate. They did enjoy it while we filled it back up. It was Feb so it was really cold but they could care less.

They swim in it almost everyday now!
