Why I love being a Mom...

Yesterday, Bella did the most amazing thing... I was folding laundry in my bedroom and she came up to me and this is our conversation:

Bella: Mom, I need to talk to Jesus.

Sally: Ok, how do we talk to Jesus?

Bella: Ummm... I think with Heavenly Father

Sally: Thats right. We talk to Heavenly Father through Jesus and they can both hear us. How should we talk to them?

Bella: Ummm.... I think we need to say a prayer.

Sally: Yep, thats right. Why don't we kneel down and we can say it right now. You go ahead and say the prayer since you want to talk to Jesus.

Bella: Ok... Dear Heavenly Father. I love Jesus. I love my mommy. I love my sister. I love my daddy. Please bless him to come home. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Needless to say, I was in tears by the end of that short, sweet prayer. Nothing better than that.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was so wonderful for us... We went to Logan, UT and stayed at Kyla and Paul's apartment and Grandma and Grandpa got a hotel with a pool... Yep, we had a blast!
Thanksgiving dinner was so good and we were able to play around in the apartment complex clubhouse. There was so much room for the girls to play and for the boys to lay out and watch football. (Naps also included) We did only a little shopping on Friday, but went to see the famous "Twlight" movie. I was a little disappointed, but overall it was good. It meant so much to spend the weekend with my family... especially Brad and the girls. I am so Thankful for them.
