Valentines Day!

I HEART VALENTINES DAY!!!

I love the colors of Valentines. I love walking into the stores and seeing red pink and purple hearts. I love making sugar cookies. I love eating sugar cookies. I love leaving valentines at the door for the kids! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Ty was so excited for it. He was so excited at the thought of someone leaving something at our door and running away. He was hoping for days afterwards that it was still Valentines and would check the door all the time hoping that something was left there. So cute. Im glad someone enjoys it as much as I do.

The girls decorated cookies after church. The boys did too until they started licking their fingers. Then they got kicked out. Don't worry neighbors...you didnt get any of those cookies.

Just want to document this....

...in case we have to copy it when Brinley gets into 6th grade. LOL. Isnt that awful...
Anyway, Jentrys greek project for 6th grade was that she made 3 pop up books. She did a pretty cute job on them! She got her artistic ability from both of her parents. We are so proud.

Then she did a report on the Trojan War. You could do this project or a science project. We chose the easiest we could. We are like that. And dang proud of it!

I belong

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in speaking of the divinity of The Book of Mormon said: For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.” I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. I ask that my testimony of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies, given today under my own oath and office, be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven. I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
