Snow! Whoa! It's easy to get caught up in life's hustle, until you open the front door to a WONDERLAND! Like we did. Woo! "Let’s be honest; it’s rather easy to be busy." "There is a beauty and clarity that comes from simplicity that we sometimes do not appreciate in our thirst for intricate solutions." "We would do well to slow down a little, proceed at the optimum speed for our circumstances, focus on the significant, lift up our eyes, and truly see the things that matter most*." (*Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, October 2011 Conference) I thought I'd simply dedicate this page to simple things that made me happy today... ...Like, remembering youth experiences with dad that were quiet, unimpressive, and sincere as I drive to Sunday morning services. I loved his simple but passionate seeking for truth. One of my favorite quotes he taught me seemed appropriate this morning: "America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great". I hope it will be that way for the long foreseeable future; so much good can be done by our national collective faith. Candid, sorry Furtive Entry... Yeah, we snuck in to the in-laws, dinner-prep in mind, only to find the crock-pot proudly doing its job marvelously. What a great excuse to gaze at the snow for an entire peaceful hour, though, just to talk with one's wife. I could use that more often. A little reminder for me I guess of just how important to cherish the small moments (Fellow Crock-Pot users to put in plugs here). He's The Man He's name's Helaman. He's a Sophomore, and a stud. Also known for his unquenchable awesomeness and ability to harmonize. One of the many reasons I am so grateful to have family. Seriously, life is so much better that way. I just happened to inherit a very large one ;-) Salad professionals Alma and Luke Little Kitchen Friends Let's be honest, who isn't grateful for little brothers who make them salad? Little Brother Attack! You see that 'smile'? Yeah, that's not a smile. Take a look at my right ear and soon you'll see the real reason I've got that look on my face. Thanks, guys. Lookin' Cute, Bakin' a Cake: just two of the things she does well... Another one of them being perpetually perfect at practically everything (... like making me laugh, making me food, making me behave, yep, uh-huh, all her) Every Sunday Needs a Few Funny Faces. It's true. Try it.
