Angel: I know you want to change Heber's diaper.
Me (a little over enthusiasically): Yes! I want to change Heber's diaper soooo bad!!
(Then I change Heber's diaper quickly and throw my hands in the air victoriously.)
Angel (not an actual angel but angel my sister): You should go into a diaper changing contest
Me: Oh baby
Angel: When you come back I better see a trophy
Me: A participation trophy?

Talmage at Boot Camp
When Talmage was in boot camp, summer 2007, I had little contact from him the first couple of weeks or so. The first contact I had was a phone call which was about 2 minutes long when he got my address. I could hear the TIs telling him to hurry and Then came this picture sent to me by the branch presidents wife there. It was good to know that he was doing great and still had a smile on his face.
He also wrote me and told me about a serious pain he was having caused by a shot in his buttocks. He was dubbed "sweet cheeks" by my brothers ever since.

Going for a stroll
"Look at me holding up my head!" They are so alert and awake, a big change since they were born.Twilight Zone
No this post is not about the popular book/movie Twilight. I haven't read it and am not sure if I want to. This post is more about being in the Twilight Zone (Dodo Doodo Doodo Dodo Doodo Dodo).
My father is a big "doom's day" fan (for lack of better wording). I have been told, since I was knee high to a grass hopper, that hard times would come. He likes to dissect Isaiah to speculate about what he is saying. He has talked and still talks about the economic collapse that would come and now we are seeing it unfold, how foreign armies would attack on American soil, etc. Yeah, I am horrible at explaining all that stuff (ask Talmage). I understand him and believe him but that might be because I am very gullible or because I respect and look up to him so much, but then again maybe I just believe him because I believe him.
I was talking to some of my visiting teaching ladies and they started wondering if the Savior would come in their life time. I think that they are getting too ahead of themselves because a lot has to happen before then such as the literal gathering of Israel and the temple being build in the new Jerusalem but it is interesting that they are thinking about that.
Even with that being said, I don't really feel affected by all of it. I feel VERY blessed. Talmage and I are always marveling and thanking the Lord for all that he has given us. An amazing husband, two beautiful, healthy babies, family, friends a huge house (very huge in my humble opinion), food, clothes, vehicles, running water, electricity, dish washer, washer, dryer, water heater and for reals we even have grass growing spontaneously in our backyard. My kids wake up at 3 o'clock every morning because they just love seeing me and they miss me, now that there is love. Blessed. Very blessed.
Anyways, So why am I in the twilight zone? Because everyone on the radio, at church and at school are beginning to sound like him. What is your take on all that doom's day stuff do you believe it? Part of it? None of it? Do you think that I fell off my rocker? Was I even on my rocker? Do you think that eventually everything will turn around for this country? I guess my real question is what do you think?
