Parks = Photo Ops

It was a beautiful Fall day and so we decided to go to the park for some bike riding, roller skating, and other fun. I love going to the park as it seems to produce (at least to me) some of the best photos. We were lucky to also have Annie and Asia with us to add to the fun and stayed for a couple of hours. and had a picnic too.

Taking pictures at the park also reminds me of my days with Iman and Edy when they were really little and we lived in Utah. Back then going to the park was about the best and only thing I did outdoors with the kids besides going to the library and so most of my photo albums from Utah are full of park pictures. Here's a bunch of Jack to help even things up. He sure is one smiley guy!

This is one of my favorite faces he makes.

Annie...quite time pondering....

After witnessing this for 5 seconds i decided that it was dangerous

...but it still made a cool photo! ;-)

This is the guy with the metal detector that Immanuel, being the social butterfly that he is, asked what he was doing. No joke, the man explained that before the park was there it was a farmer's field and he saw Martians there and was looking for debris from the Martians! It took me a while to convince Immanuel that this wasn't true. He was sure of it, afterall the man described what they looked like and everything!

See that? Course you don't, but i am rolling my eyes right now. lol!

All about John & Nicola

Well, John is the extremely handsome red-head, of course, and I'm the little one in front of him! John is a marriage and family therapist and I am a domestic engineer as well as a dental hygienist. We met in June of 2000, were engaged by the very end of September 2000, and were married December 16th 2000. We have four lovely children as you can see below and love life and all that it has brought and taught us! We love to talk, have friends over, cook and eat food, camp, and pretty much do anything as a family.

All About Edy

She is fun-loving and pretty much always wants her way (who doesn't) and 90% of the time it works out well as she's a good girl with righteous desires and is extremely responsible and mature for her age. However that 10% of the time where we actually don't agree on something, she can be a little devil! She is a huge help with Jack as these two are best buds! Jack likewise adores her and she is the only one out of his other siblings that he'll let parent him. Eden is also in the fifth grade and loves to read. She has a passion for horses and all animals really and also loves to cook and bake.

Top 7 Favorite of "The Complete Life's Little Instruction Book"

{Why 7 and not 10...because I haven't found three more I really like the best yet. AND these are in no particular order either.}

1. Remember that life's most treasured moments often come unannounced.
2. Hold puppies, kittens, and babies any time you get the chance.
3. To help your children turn out well, spend twice as much time with them and half as much money.
4. Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.
5. Watch for the big problems. They disguise big opportunities.
6. Learn to listen. Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly.
7. Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen every day.

The Duty of Mothers...

The duty of the mother is to watch over her children, and give them their early education, for impressions received in infancy are lasting. You know, yourselves, by experience, that the impressions you have received in the dawn of your mortal existence, bear, to this day, with the greatest weight upon your mind. It is the experience of people generally, that what they imbibe from their mothers in infancy, is the most lasting upon the mind through life... Children have all confidence in their mothers; and if mothers would take proper pains, they can instill into the hearts of their children what they please. You will, no doubt, recollect reading, in the Book of Mormon, of two thousand young men, who were brought up to believe that, if they put their whole trust in God, and served Him, no power would overcome them. You also recollect reading of them going out to fight, and so bold were they, and so mighty their faith, that it was impossible for their enemies to slay them. This power and faith they obtained through the teachings of their mothers.
