We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).
-Elder David A. BednarOf the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

February

In my lack of blogging this month there are a few things I forgot to mention.

1. Happy Birthday to the most awesome Husband and Dad. He really is the best and does everything he can to make sure we are happy. So glad I got you babe.

We celebrated at home on his birthday and then that weekend Shiloh and I went to Rodizio's and a movie.

The triple layer lemon cake I made him.
Singing Happy Birthday.



2. I tried my hand at Lizzy's hair again. I think I'm getting better.
About a month ago. Lizzy started crying lots about combing her hair. I told her she had two choices. If she wanted it long enough to do pony tails and pig tails then she couldn't cry when we combed it. If the snarls were to much for her then we could cut it again. The crying stopped but about a week ago she started asking to get it cut. So I went ahead and did it. Her hair is so fine and straight (like mine) I really think the short is so much cuter on her.

3. This cute dude, well this cute dude learned how to use the potty and we are all very happy about it!


4. Thanks to my sweetie Valentines was great too, but I forgot to take pictures of all the roses and valentines and going out with the family for the evening. We all had lots of fun and felt lots of love.

We took the kids and went back to the bridge on the Provo River Trail where we got engaged, 10 years earlier. It had been a long time sense we had been there and it brought back a lot of fun memories.


That is the highlights for February. I will try to stay more up to date this next month.
