Parson's Blessing Day

On Sunday we had the wonderful opportunity of blessing Parson in sacrament. We were joined by so many of our close family members and friends. Ryan offered a powerful blessing. I am so thankful that I have a husband who is worthy to offer up such blessings from our Father in Heaven.

Parson is such a calm spirit and has brought a special feeling of peace to our home. The Bishop even admitted to peaking at Parson during the blessing and found him wide eyed looking earnestly at Ryan. I am so grateful to have him and the other boys in my life. They bring me such joy and happiness.

Bubbles

We went to St. George a few weeks ago and stayed in Ryan's parents condo. It was a nice little get away and the kids had a blast. In fact, we didn't even have to leave the condo for them to find true excitement. They got in the tub and Ryan turned on the jets and walked out. Next thing we know they are yelling for help! Guess there was some left over bubbles in the jets.

Talk about "Swine flue" we have the "Bird flu"!

For the past few months I have been seeing and influx of birds flying in our backyard. I mentioned to Ryan that we might have a birds nest on our house. We looked around but couldn't find anything. A few days ago we were out working in the back yard and we found...to our surprise...a bird flying out of our BBQ. Ryan went over and lifted up the lid and ....talk about a nest! Well they hatched today and we have a new addition(s) to our family. Five little baby bird!

One sweet moment......

It's hard to explain a mother's love.... I absolutely love this little guy!

The boys have been very excited to have Parson home and are always very helpful....maybe a little too helpful if you know what I mean! His first bath at home was a family project!

Landon is so helpful when it comes to dressing Parson. He is so soft with him.

September's Book Review:

The Secret Life of Bees -by Sue Monk Kidd
Was a great read. I was pulled into the story of this young girl as she tries to discover who she is and her search to find somebody who will love her. I have to admit I cryed at the end. It was wonderful! I am excited to read it with the book club.

The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-time
-by Mark Haddon
When I went to the library to find this book I couldn't remember what it was called and I asked for the book The peculiar happenings of the wolf in the night. It was close! I was very surprised when they were able to find the real book for me.

It was a different writing style; it was writen as if a boy with autism was writing it. I have to say I liked it. I was fascinated by the authors insite to the mind of an individual with autism. It probbably wasn't the best book for an expecting mother but it was a very quick read. I read it in two days.

Breaking Dawn -by
I won't say a ton; I am sure you have all read it but it wasn't my most favorite of her books. I thought it dragged just a little. Yes there were those interesting parts but over all I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a major page turner for me!
