I help watch this precious girl a couple times a week:
Stone and I both love having her around. I let her try out Stone's Bumbo this week. I left the room for one minute, and this funny boy...
...had snapped his sandals on her dangling, little feet. And she was laughing at him.The Easter bunny made Stone a happy boy Sunday morning. Before heading to church, the following video somewhat sums up our fun morning. Enjoy.
We have had a WONDERFUL Easter Sunday--a post to come soon of Stone's fun morning, but I wanted to first post this great Easter video. This is Elder Holland, an apostle of our church.
A quote really stood out to me towards the end:
"One of the great consolations of this Easter season is that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path, utterly alone, we do not have to do so. ...may we declare ourselves to be more fully disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ...in deed and in courage and in faith. May we stand by Jesus Christ in all times, in all things, and in all places that we may be in, even until death. For surely, that is how he stood by us..."
I truly have a testimony that Jesus Christ lived, that he died for us, and that he was resurrected. I know that we will one day live again with Heavenly Father. I'm grateful that we have had the chance to reflect on his Resurrection today. Happy Easter!
Cliff was talking politics the other night at dinner, and I told him he should go into them. He started laughing because he finds most politics a joke these days. He said, “No. Politics is just organized crime. Why would I choose to surround myself with the type of people I would fire if they worked for me?"(said sarcastically, of course. Or maybe not).
Depending on the office, I think he’d consider it one day despite his comments (that were made out of frustration).
When he was six years old, he was standing in line with his dad, and asked his dad, "Dad, George Bush [Sr.] says that he is not going to raise taxes, but everybody says that that is not true and that he has to. What do you think?"
Well, it was time for another business trip last week (my third), and it is sometimes stressful making plans for Stone while I am gone (not to mention it's hard being away from my 24/7 companion). So my mom offered to watch Stone, he had a blast, and I had no stress to add to the pre-business trip madness that builds up the week prior. So I got to head off a couple days early, drop Stone off in Mesa, and head back east for my meetings. I wish I could have spent more time in AZ, but I'll take what I can get.
A BIG thanks to my mom and SIL (sister-in-law) Charee for watching Stone. Between parks, Chuck E. Cheese, fun with cousins, stealing my mom's camera and taking 50 [legitimate & good] pictures, and Chloe, Chloe, Chloe, Stone was in heaven. And as for me, my trip was a great success.
