Winters with the Summers

Easter Sunday

This is really not like me to share these things on my blog, but I feel greatly inspired by today's general conference and feel that it would be ungrateful not to share my feelings. Our Prophet's talk was so touching and beautiful. He did not say anything that we have not learned before but he said it with such conviction and faith that there is not denying the truth in his words. I know that my Savior died for me so that I too can be resurrected someday! He lives!! He loves each of us so unconditionally. One of the Elders today said something on how the Savior loves our children so much more than even we do. That really opened my eyes...yes I know that this is not a new concept. But as I sat in my car the other day looking back in the mirror at my two girls, I felt such an overwhelming feeling of love and gratitude for them. Words cannot describe the feelings I have for my family. Then today, hearing that He loves them even more than I could ever love them seems so amazing. He loves us and I know that He has taken on all of our sins for us. I am a person who is not exactly proud of some of the mistakes I have made in my life, But I have felt the overwhelming love and forgiveness of our Savior. I know that He is waiting for all of us to come to Him with open arms. He wants us to return to Him someday. These words have helped me so much in my life and I feel that I can overcome anything as long as I keep faith in them. I love this gospel and know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and He loves us.

New Photos

I finally got it done!! One year later- I took the girls to Target to get their pix taken! Not as cute as I had hoped but still shows how beautiful my babies are!!! My favorite is the one where Peighty is malling Ellee to kiss her!

California Fun

We went to California with Tyler's family! His Uncle Garn let us use his condo for the week! Thank you! Thank you! We had a fun time. We were right on Newport Beach and swam in the ocean a couple of times. Ellee wasn't sure about the water but loved to eat the sand! She had it everywhere! Peighty loved the water and would giggle when it would chase her! On Tuesday we went to Disneyland! Peighton said "it was the best day of her life!" She was in heaven. We got her an autograph book and that was her favorite thing- getting all the characters autograph!Ellee didn't like the characters so that is why she isn't in any pictures. We went to Seaworld too and that was fun. Peighty loved the rollercoaster. Seriously she is 4 and barely tall enough but went on it like 4 times! I will put up all the other pix when I get them. But here is a preview of our family vaca!! Thanks Summers family- we had a blast!!

I was able to get my camera working for an hour yesterday!! So we played photo shoot! Peighty was all for getting dolled up and taking pictures. She would pose and tell me how good it loooked it was really funny! She was finally brave enough to get her ears pierced last week and was eager to show them off. Ellee on the other hand wasn't quite as excited to get her picture taken. It was impossible to get her to look at the camera and not be a slobber monkey!! So enjoy the fun! My girls are sweet and too much fun to be around! I am loving having the summer off!

No Camera!!!

OKay- so I better explain myself! I haven't blogged forever becuase my camera isn't working! So here is an update! 3 Weeks into summer vacation, I have been in classes the whole vaca! But me and the girls have been able to go swim at the pool a couple of times! Ellee loves it- she is so funny. Peighty is just a little fish! She jumped right in and never looked back! Ty is working for his brother now and I am finally getting to be home and enjoy summer!! It will go too fast I know though! Anyways our family is great! Hopefully I can get some pix up soon!
