To the Rescue

I just finished the Biography of Thomas S Monson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What a phenomenal man! What a wonderful example he is to me of following the promptings of the spirit. Throughout his entire life he has reached out to the one. His biography has stirred in me a resolution to try harder to reach out to and remember individuals. There have been so many "coincidences" in his life that teach of the Lord's hand in all of our lives if we follow his commandments and the promptings of the spirit. His life also teaches that the Lord answers the prayers of His children through other people... us, you and me. I truly am so grateful for a true and living Prophet of God on the earth to guide and direct us. I am so excited to listen to him next month in General Conference.

Goodbye Summer!

I can't believe how fast this summer has come and gone! We have had such a fun summer but are looking forward to the Fall. I LOVE Autumn time! Just this week it's gotten a little cooler and the trees are starting to change. Here is a little bit more of what Link has been up to lately...

My Uncle J came to visit from California so we hung out with him for the day!


Link just being a GOOF!


Water painting (with secret messages).
We went out to Russ' parent's home and canned with my Mother-in-Law. Link loved being able to spend time with his grandparents!
He had to show grandma that he can write all his letters and numbers!
He LOVES practicing his letters and numbers so we usually go outside and chalk... and our back porch always looks like this! Crazy kid!
Like I said... he loves to write! Here he is typing his ABC's...

I got a morning off from tending the bud and got to go to a baby shower for my good friend K! Here I am with host T sportin' our staches!

Baking with mama!

And taking it easy!
