Moments of utter happiness. . .

Logan and I have been trying to focus more of our efforts towards our children lately. We have been trying to do better with bed time, reading to them, praying as a family, and doing memorable things together. Ayden is getting old enough to remember things and we want him to always remember that his Mom and Dad loved to spend time with him.

Last week we decided to surprise Logan and steal him away from work to go to the park for a picnic. While we were playing with the kids on the swings and laughing together I thought to myself, "this is what true happiness feels like and there is no where else I would rather be then right here with these people." It's the best feeing in the world and I am excited to spend more time trying to achieve that feeling.

I love my kids so much, it's amazing. I look into their eyes and I can feel my heart trying to leap out of my chest. What a special blessing it is to get a little piece of heaven here on earth.









There's nothing better than spending the day with the man of your dreams! I'm the luckiest girl because I get to have him for eternity!

You have your priorities right-on. Keep doing those type of things, it will keep your marriage strong, less family problems, and increased love for the Savior.

Mary, what great comments. I appreciate the fact that you have your priorities in the right place and that you love those darling children so much, as well as that sweet husband of your. The pictures of you and the kids at the park are lovely and they will remember that you love them.

Cute hair, Mary. It is always fun to meet Dad for lunch. Looks like you guys had a blast. I love the smiles on the kids faces.

That is so darling!! It really is so fun to spend time with the kids!! I appreciate your post because I know exactly how you feel---sometimes I just get caught up in my own projects, or simply cleaning and running errands! And of course those things need to get done too but it's nice to MAKE TIME to do things as a family!!

You are so inspiring! And your family IS the cutest. You do such fun things.

What is your e-mail address? I'll e-mail you my info. I am super excited about your obubas, and I think there are a bunch of girls here that would be interested too. I am aprehensive about being able to do the nursing thing outside of my apartment, because I am still at the point where I have to strip down everytime I do it!

You were right on, it hurts like HELL for the first two weeks. Does that mean tomorrow (day 15) it wont hurt? ...Kidding. Tell me it gets better!
