Some of my favorite things

This last week has gone much better than the previous week. I don't know if it's because my PMS is gone or just because I've worked on some of my goals. I have read my scriptures more and I think it has helped. But I know this has helped too. I read it each night w/Samuel and Jocelyn. And I am learning things! Jocelyn will sit on my lap long enough. Her favorite stories are those w/Jesus and animals. (I've taught her the word Prophet now, so she can differentiate...she thinks anyone w/a robe and a beard is Jesus). Samuel's favorite story is "The Brass Plates." He knows the whole story. We even re-enacted it the next day. We took turns playing Laban and Nephi. I love it when he calls the Lamanites "nites". He thinks they're knights. lol.



And then while Tyler watched them ALL day Saturday, he and the kids watched this together. And Jocelyn sat through the whole thing (again this morning as they watched it again!). It's a classic!



And yesterday, right before Church (silly idea), we took family pictures. My cousin, Liz, is wanting to continue developing her photography skills, especially with families. So we headed over to the Saltair (area) salt flats. Here is a sample of some more to come!
