This happened two Saturdays ago, May 9 but the pictures were cute so I thought I would post. I had heard about a new free water park in St. George and wanted something fun to do with the kids. Joe had a golf tournamet in Mesquite, just past St. George so I decided to head down there so he could meet us there when he got done. It was well worth the 45-minute drive!
This is late but...
Brenna and Braelynn turned three last Thursday (14th). Braelynn had been telling everyone that even said hello to her the the week before her birthday "My birthday is May 14.". Most of them couldn't understand what she said so I had to translate.
We celebrated with a little party with a few of their friends. They decorated their own cupcakes, played in the sandbox, bubbles and chalk.
That evening we had Great-Grandma Connors over for birthday dinner BBQ, then cake and ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa Haley.
Happy Birthday girls!
Opening presents before breakfast. Nice bed hair!
Yellow cake for Brenna
Pink cake for Braelynn
Nice to read this today...
"I testify of angels, both the heavenly and the mortal kind. In doing so I am testifying that God never leaves us alone, never leaves us unaided in the challenges that we face. '[N]or will he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand, or there shall be one man [or woman or child] upon the face thereof to be saved' (Moroni 7:36). On occasions, global or personal, we may feel we are distanced from God, shut out from heaven, lost, alone in dark and dreary places. Often enough that distress can be of our own making, but even then the Father of us all is watching and assisting. And always there are those angels who come and go all around us, seen and unseen, known and unknown, mortal and immortal."May we all believe more readily in, and have more gratitude for, the Lord's promise as contained in one of President Monson's favorite scriptures: 'I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, . . . my Spirit shall be in your [heart], and mine angels round about you, to bear you up' (D&C 84:88). In the process of praying for those angels to attend us, may we all try to be a little more angelic ourselves—with a kind word, a strong arm, a declaration of faith and 'the covenant wherewith [we] have covenanted' (D&C 90:24). Perhaps then we can be emissaries sent from God."
Jeffrey R. Holland, "The Ministry of Angels," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 31
