His First Visit From the Tooth Fairy's...

Maddy's front bottom tooth had been loose for almost two weeks when it fell out. I had bought him a battery operated toothbrush (Transformers of course) and he was having a little too much fun brushing his teeth practically non-stop. He was brushing away when it fell out. He was pretty excited! He was pretty cute that night while in bed. He told me that he hoped the Tooth Fairy didn't put rocks under his pillow and said that he thought he saw sparkles that the Tooth Fairy left behind.

The Tooth Fairy's made sure he made out pretty good. He was so sweet and gave $1 to Avery. I had bought some new hangers for his clothes and hung them in his closet and he didn't see them until that morning and so he insists that the Tooth Fairy brought him money AND new hangers. Too funny! His other bottom middle tooth is loose, so the Tooth Fairy's might be visiting again soon...

Maddy's First Testimony...

On Fast Sunday almost a month ago a bunch of kids in our ward were bearing their testimonies. Maddy asked me why he never got to do that. I was quite surprised because he's usually pretty shy in those kinds of situations. I told him he could if he wanted and he practically dragged me up there to help him he was so excited. I made him wait a few minutes because there were a couple people waiting to bear their testimonies and I didn't want to leave Avery by herself for very long. I had been asked to give the opening prayer and so I made my second trip up there with him. Anyway, he did a great job (with my help) and wasn't scared at all. His first testimony went a little like this...

"I want to bear my testimony.

I know the church is true.

I know the scriptures are true.

I know Jesus loves us.

I love my family.

I say this in the name of Jesus Christ amen."

I was bummed Steve wasn't there to hear him but we called him and let him know, he was so proud of him.

Crazy/Busy Slacker...

So I know I've been a huge blog slacker lately! There just hasn't been enough time in the day to get everything done. Life has been crazy busy for me but it's good, life is good! I'm hoping to get back on track this week.

Forget (Me) Not(s)...

I know I'm a little late posting this but I just had to! I wanted to have it here for future reference and I just really wanted to share it. I just adore President Dieter F. Uchtdorf! I always know we are in for a real treat whenever he is speaking, he just has such a way with words and connecting with people. Anyway, after I got home from Provo Canyon a few Saturday's ago, I attended the General Relief Society Broadcast with a bunch of my ward friends and his talk really spoke to me. I promise promise promise (I can't say enough) you won't be sorry if you take the time to listen to it...
