I am sure you noticed I switched my background to Fall. It is my FAVORITE season! :) I know it's early, but NO JUDGING! :P

The Latest

Laneah is now riding a tricycle very well! Grandma Cooper gave her Uncle Justin's old one and she loves it!

Rhycherd is talking so much now! He is starting to get all his colors down and many others.

Bo loved his internship and is looking forward to being a full fledged engineer after he graduates :)

I am still loving couponing and homeschooling Laneah's preschool :) I was able to pick up an awesome book from Barnes and Noble to help me!

Life is still wonderful :)

Just A Thought For Your Sabbath Day

"You hold in your hands the happiness of more people than you can now imagine." - Henry B Eyring

I feel this so much more as a parent. If I am impatient or moody, I see my children reflect it. I have tried much more as a mom to be positive, patient, kind, and happy so that my children will be too :)

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday :)

We Have Been So Blessed

Not only did Bo's internship turn into a job offer, but we also have a wonderful place set up for when we move in December :) Everything has just fallen into place and we know who to thank and we have thanked Him everyday :)

We found out we will be attending a BRANCH for church!!! We are so excited! I have never been in a branch before.

Fort Wayne Will Become . . .

Our permanent home December!!! Bo got extended an official job offer to come back and work full time as an engineer for Primary Engineering!!! I am so proud of him! We are so excited! We love this place :) Just had to share this wonderful news :)

Our FHE Lesson: Hope

We showed the kids the video "A Mother's Hope" on mormonchannel.org Then we talked about Hope more in depth for Bo and I.

I had always understood Hope with "A hint of uncertainty" (Neil A Maxwell) I had always felt it was things like: I hope this snow stops or I hope this day gets better. But apparently it has a different meaning in the gospel: "When we have Hope, we trust God's promises. We have a quiet assurance that if we do 'the works of righteousness,' we 'shall receive our reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come.'" (Neil A Maxwell)

This made me feel good because it made me realize I do have hope. I know that God will keep His promises if I keep mine. It also renewed my vigor to try harder because I know wonderful things await me if I do what's right.

This is why I will NEVER lose weight :P
