Sickness

Great sickness came into our house. Everyone at moms work was getting sick and the boys got sick at the babysitters. Then mom got sick, that was four and a half weeks ago. Mom tried to heal everyone with home remedies first. She tried that for to long. When mom finally took the boys to the doctor they had lots of issues. Treyven had a sinus infection, conjunctivitis, and thrush and David had an ear infection, the starting of bronchitis and thrush. We came home with three different prescriptions. Our poor boys. Then finally mom asked one of her doctors to call in something for her but three days later she felt even worse. Mom ended up going to the instacare and walked out with two prescriptions. Next time we won't wait so long. Yesterday was the first time in four weeks that mom felt good enough to accomplish any housework. The house is still a huge mess. But as mom continues to feel better the house will be cleaner as well!

The Temple

This month there has been a lot of talk of the Temple. Our bishop challenged our ward to have a least one ward member at the Temple every day this month. The first Saturday of the month we attended the Temple together as a couple for the first time in several years. We went with the Bushars because Claudia was taking out her endowments for her mission. Last Wednesday evening I went on my own and the Friday we missed ward Temple night but David and I went and walked around the Temple for a date, and then today our Relief Society lesson was about the Temple. As I sat and listened to the lesson I reflected on all the blessing I have been given due to my Temple attendance. When I went they to take out my endowments I had the impression that David and I were meant to be married and to attend the Temple frequently together as a couple. Also looking back I can see that many times I have gone with a question or problem on my mind and answers have come and I believe it's because I have attended the Temple. When we lived in San Diego I went to the temple weekly until Treyven was born and I didn't realize at the time what a huge blessing that was not only to me but to our whole family. When we moved back to St. George I let my recommend expire and have just recently gotten back to the Temple and have felt and seen such a difference. Yesterday I was reading the Ensign and had a thought come into my mind that answered a problem that has been weighing heavy on both David and I. I say and enjoyed the Spirit that came with the answer and them went and told David the thought. The Temple is such a huge blessing to our family. There have been many times where I have felt that the problems that we are going thru are to big and I want to give up, but knowing some of the answers I have learned in the Temple I know that David and I are meant to be married and the more often we attend the stronger we will be as a couple and the more blessings we will have. It seems that everytime some aspect of our life is coming to a close that Heavenly Father has opened a new door that has been exactly what we have needed. I need to take time more often to think of all the blessings that have been given to me and thanks Heavenly Father more often than I do. I am so blessed to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

Little guys

The boys decided to share David's breakfast one morning. It melts my momma bitter when they share!

I just love taking pictures of my little guys.

My boys

I just love my boys! David started having a cough Saturday morning then Sunday you could tell he didn't feel good because he was so clingy. He had a fever and he threw up his dinner. We called grandpa over to help David give him a blessing. Then later we noticed white spots on the inside of both cheeks. We think it was thrush. We looked online and found a home remedy of baking soda dissolved in water then swabbed inside the mouth and it's working. Treyven went potty in the toilet twice today. My boys are getting so big and learning so much all the time.

David and I went on a date last Saturday to tropical smoothie cafe. All the food and drinks in the picture costs us $5.60.
