"Live by Faith not by Fear"

A white Christmas

Here are my first shots taken with my new Nikon D90. This camera is pretty amazing and I am looking forward to the new year to learn how to take cool pics. It was a very white snowy Christmas week.

"It's kind of hot here in Aurora, probably around 30 degrees."

~Elder Emmett

Well this quote is meant to be funny for anyone that does not get emails from my little brother. He said this just two days after Aurora CO had one of the coldest days in over ?? years. ( I need to find the number) I decided to quote him because not only is he the funnest little brother but also an amazing missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am counting down to Christmas this week when we will be able to talk on the phone. Merry Christmas to all may the season be joyful.

So adorable

So sorry to my brother John to steal this photo off his blog but I can't help but want to share with all of you my o so adorable niece Lily. I will be spending the next week in Utah and hanging out with Jack and Lily. Merry Christmas!

This is the first time I have forgotten to do my Monday quote. Yesterday was packed with work followed by a 3 hour family home evening and late night shopping. I have a bunch of posts in the works and hope to post photos before I leave on vacation for 9 days. Todays quote is a song that I love to sing with my family over the holidays. My home in Irivne is wonderful but my second and third home is at my grandparents in Logan Utah. Safe travels to all to your homes.

Oh, there’s no place like home For the holidays, ’cause no matter How far away you roam If you want to be happy in a million ways For the holidays, you can’t beat Home, sweet home.

Sunday Dessert Social

Sunday night was my second annual Christmas dessert social. So every photo has me in it but that is to be expected when this my blog and it is all about me. Ha Ha. Seriously I am so grateful for the friends that made it over and helped bring the yummy treats.

I was told that if you turn side way and put your hand on your hip you can look skinny in photos. All the celebs do it on the red carpets. :)

Monday Quote 12-08-08

“The gospel of Jesus Christ has the divine power to lift you to great heights from what appears at times to be an unbearable burden or weakness. The Lord knows your circumstances and your challenges. He said to Paul and to all of us, ‘My grace is sufficient for thee.’ And like Paul we can answer: ‘My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me'
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf




I really enjoyed this quote and I came across it at the perfect time in my life. I hope you all enjoy it as well.

Mammoth Weekend

It was a great weekend with 2 days of warm spring skiing. I loved skiing with Avery and had her stopping on her first run down after not skiing for 2 years. Keep praying for more snow in Utah!

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
