Finding Joy...



Like many, I loved President Monson's conference talk during the Sunday morning session. I think for moms it's hard to find the joy sometimes! That sounds terrible, I know. But some days are better than others! So I thought I'd share my most recent "joyful moments". Here's hoping a few minutes of reflection will make today's journey more joyful!



Saturday, August 23 Max's 8th Birthday. We armed Kaiti and Alex with silly string early in the morning and woke Max up with "Happy Birthday"! I was really worried Max would freak out, he is a little weird when he isn't fully awake! He took it well. Likely because HE HAD SLEPT IN OUR BED!!!



Some are more joyful than others!

I LOVE all of these pictures! That place is AMAZING!!!!! Your family looks so cute and the GQ one is hilarious! I'm glad you've found some moments of joy to soak in! That silly string is a super idea! I'll have to remember that on Max's b-day! I wonder what he'd do! Fun stuff!

The pictures you took (Julie, cause your not in one at all =) are absolutely beautiful. You are quite the photog. We appreciate you guys so much, and love that Hailey and Kaiti are good friends. Thanks again, for all you do for her! By the way, those mom moments come and go but when they do come...... Don't you ever wonder how you ever survived without their sweet spirits before they were born. I reflect back before having Hailey, and I never knew I could love something as much as my kids!
