Shine brighter...

Shine your light...

Share your light...

Gratitude for those who give their light...

We can all shine brighter...

Always thankful...

Always thankful for Tim's woodworking brilliance. He made a guitar for goodness sake! Always thankful to hear Mark play a few songs.

Always thankful for Grandma Days.

Always thankful to see Grey and Grahm having fun with the "vintage" Fisher Price toys.

Always thankful when Grahm shows us things he made at school or at a church activity, and when he reads us a story.

Always grateful for sleepovers... with just Grahm this time.

Grahm was looking for a pillow and found some yarn. He liked that it's so soft. He even slept with a skein.

Grahm and I were reading a book about the Holy Ghost. Grahm told me that he was watching a show upstairs at his house that he didn't like. He then said he listen to Spirit and decided to leave and go downstairs. He said, "I could have ignore the feeling but I listened." Grahm often tells me things he's learned at church or at home.

Always thankful for a beautiful sunset.

Always thankful...

Must Be Utah...

We went to Grey's 4th grade program on Wednesday. It was so good! The students told the story of Utah's history through song and dance. Grey sang his little heart out and danced like a pro with other girls. It was obvious that the students had practiced a lot. I couldn't stop smiling. Grey is getting more confident and I could tell he enjoyed being part of the program. We are so proud of Grey Max.

I can always count on Grahm to take some great pictures!

They students sang a song that Chris and Mark learned at Scouts when they were about Grey's age. It was fun to hear "Go My Son" again after all these years.

Grandpa spied a picture on the wall that Grahm colored. 

Good job Grahm!

What a fun night!

What?

That's right, Colby is the Student of the Week this time. Now all of our grandsons have been recognized this school year for their achievements and good qualities! I'm so proud of them. Good job Colbs!

Later the newest Student of the Week was spotted at the gym with his Mom. Thanks for sharing the pictures Lee.

The Lord is my shepherd...

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

~Psalms 23

Thankful for today...

I was worn out on Friday after only getting about 3 hours of sleep the night before. It happens sometimes. So we moved Grandma Day to Saturday. I took Grey and Grahm to Nickelmania in Orem. It is so much nicer than Nickel City. They enjoyed trying all the new games. 

There were rows and rows of pinball machines.

Grahm lost a few more teeth!

Checking out the prizes they won.

Colby came by after he got home from a camp out. He said they had fun sledding and stayed up to 3:00 in the morning talking with his friends.

Mark, Tiff, and Cash came for dinner. It was wonderful to be together. Cash tried to break Grahm's push up record. I think he came close! Grandpa and Mark watched the BYU game which made Gramps very happy. 

And a cute toothless Easter bunny hopped by for a visit!

I'm thankful for today and the little moments we share.
