"I testify to you that our promised blessings are beyond measure.  Though the storm clouds may gather, though the rains may pour down upon us, our knowledge of the gospel and our love of our Heavenly Father and of our Savior will comfort and sustain us and bring joy to our hearts as we walk uprightly and keep the commandments.  There will be nothing in this world that can defeat us."  - President Monson - April 2009 GC.

Also - President Uchtdorf's October 2010 GC talk was just what I needed to hear today.  "Walk in nature, watch a sunrise, enjoy God's creations, ponder the truths of the restored gospel, and find out what they mean for you personally.  Learn to see yourself as Heavenly Father sees you - as His precious daughter or son with diving potential."

Good Monday night.  FHE was a video Mason shared with us from Seminary (Staying Spiritually Fit) followed by an Xbox FIFA game - Mason and me vs Darren and Rylie.  Then Ry and I watched The Voice.

Usually we hike in the snow but today we walked and played in the snow.  It was fun and gorgeous.  AF Canyon was a winter wonderland.

Also, D officially has a stress fracture on his left toe - which is why we sat in the basement last night and watched a movie.  (Not really - we often sit in the basement and watch movies.)  "Red" is one of my favorites.

Good Presidents' Day visiting my parents in Richfield.  BB gun shooting, basketball, 4wheeling, playing games and Sandi's Drive Inn plus seeing my parents was just what I needed today.  And to top things off we stopped at Ideal Dairy on the way home to make extra happy kids.

Hiked up by Mutual Dell up to the road.  Tough hike to find some fluffy fun snow but it was worth it.  Especially since we were able to listen to a symphony of nature as the snow was melting and birds were singing.

Lorien took me indoor rock climbing today.  It was soooo fun!  Totally worth the sore arms.  I learned how to mostly get hooked up and how to belay.  Way fun.  We stopped at REI and saw the coolest mural.

Awesome warm weather had girls playing and laughing outside.  It was a good sound.

Cam always makes good movie picks.  Tonight's pick was "Monsters University".  Maybe her picks are good because I wouldn't pick the movie she does but I totally enjoy watching what she picks.

There were blue skies today!  Wahoo.  There was also Sam King's baptism, K and T visit, and a museum.

Happy Groundhog Day.  Good day of - hike to Donut Falls, Chick Fil A for lunch with my mom, bowling with the girls and my parents, and KFC.  What a celebration.  :)  Bowling was great and Sadie beat everyone in both games.  She bowled a 120 the first game.  After that we decided to even things up and give Ry bumpers as well but that didn't matter - Sadie won the second game as well.   Cute little 9 year old bowler.

School night movie night watching of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty".  Love that movie but is it spring yet?
