Yahoo! It has finally arrived.. we are on a plane bound for Nashville, Tennessee! We are excited to spend some fun times with Lesley. So far we are thinking the Zoo, the science center and just maybe, if time allows a trip to a cool YMCA that has a neat indoor aquatic center. Then we will be off to Knoxville to visit Brent's parents serving a mission. And of course, we are off to Dollywood while we are there!
We get to stay a full week so we will for certain make some great memories! In addition to our Tennessee pics stay tuned for a fun girls overnighter that Addy, my Mom and I took!!

Elle's Baptism
So the learning continues on the blogging.. Had to put up a few pics from Elle's baptism weekend!
We snowmobiled, we sledded, we ice skated
and we celebrated this girl turning 8!
Couldn't resist adding this one of Nat and the Colbster. Notice little Coley in the background.. he is the one that "set the stage for this snapshot" He is pretty funny around these two. In fact he has been known to say, "why don't you two get comfy?"Is he on Colby's favorite list o
r what?

Wow talk about getting behind. Well if there was ever a reason to make a new post I have got it.
I discovered a new children's song as Jackson was preparing a talk for church. It is called "The Family is of God." click here to listen.
I am not sure how I missed this one but I just was so touched as I listened to it. That last verse just gets the waterworks going everytime. Wow.. what neat lyrics.
Our Father has a family. It’s me!
It’s you, all others too: we are His children.
He sent each one of us to earth, through birth,
To live and learn here in fam’lies.
God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be—
This is how He shares His love, for the fam’ly is of God.
A father’s place is to preside, provide,
To love and teach the gospel to his children.
A father leads in fam’ly prayer to share
Their love for Father in Heaven.
God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be—
This is how He shares His love, for the fam’ly is of God.
A mother’s purpose is to care, prepare,
To nurture and to strengthen all her children.
She teaches children to obey, to pray,
To love and serve in the fam’ly.
God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be—
This is how He shares His love, for the fam’ly is of God.
I’ll love and serve my family and be
A good example to each fam’ly member.
And when I am a mom or dad, so glad,
I’ll help my fam’ly remember:
God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be—
This is how He shares His love, for the fam’ly is of God.
