Sarah's Daddy/Daughter Date....

Well Sarah patiently waited since Eden got to go with Daddy on a date to have her turn. Sarah got to pick the evening's events and she chose to see Megamind at the movies and then go for a sundae at Sonic afterwards. She had a great time and Daddy even spoiled her by allowing her to illegally ride shotgun and even took her shopping for some new jeans! What an awesome father, i mean what dad delights in shopping with his daughter? I seriously don't know how they (Eden and Sarah) will even find someone to match the awesomeness of their Dad when they are old enough to think about marriage (who am i kidding they already do think about marriage!) ;-)

This date had been planned for a whole week and every day Sarah would check with me how many days were left until her date and finally on Friday the day of the date, she said to me with giddiness in her voice, "Daddy might even let me get popcorn!" Oh the simple pleasures!

John, thanks for being an amazing father and therefore by default also an awesome husband! :-)

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.
