A hero is......

To me, a hero is someone that makes you think, re-evaluate, ponder and believe. A hero makes you realize that life is what you make it. A hero takes what comes their way and finds the blessings. A hero is humble and grateful.
I have a hero. She is a beautiful daughter of God. She gives strength to others in her time of sadness. She has a beautiful understanding of the Plan. She would not want to be a hero....but to me, she is. And I am grateful for her example.

Adorable Babies!!

So...in my last blog, I posted about how much I love Spring. Well, here is another reason I love this time of year.....BABIES! These little creatures live near our home. We have been watching their parents for a while, but we didn't realize they were raising a family so close! Tracee was out catching some sun and looked up only to see that she was being watched....curiously. We thought there was only two furry, feathered baby friends until we took the pictures. All of a sudden, another one popped up and wanted in on the fun. Beautiful!


Then of course there is my beautiful grandson. We went up to Pinetop for the weekend and I got to spend 4 days with him.



I hope everyone has a great week! And...if you want to have a fun time with the people you love, rent a cabin in the mountains, eat good food, and play "wuffle ball" for three hours in a park! What a blast!!!!

Happy Easter...Happy Spring!!

I LOVE Spring!! It feels good outside, it smells good outside, the sun shines in my windows earlier and sets later in the evening. I love that school is almost over! I LOVE Easter! I find it easier to focus on the Savior at this time of the year than at Christmas because we don't have as much of the major commercialism. A big plus...we get to hear from our church leaders at General Conference. I really liked Jeffrey R. Holland's talk about the Savior's Atonement. This talk was so comforting to me...I needed to hear it right now! Elder Holland always speaks so I can understand what he means! I LOVE Spring!!
Here are a few pictures of a "just about perfect" Easter Sunday: Grandpa and his buddy watching fish jump, three beautiful daughters, the hunt and the find!





Have a great week!!
