Thought for the week

If we spend our days waiting for fabulous roses, we could miss the beauty and wonder of the tiny forget-me-nots that are all around us. Never stop striving for the best that is within you, but don't close your eyes and hearts to the simple and elegant beauties of each day's ordinary moments that make up a rich, well-lived life. The happiest people I know are not golden ticket holders, but those who while in pursuit of worthy goals discover and treasure the beauty and sweetness of everyday moments. -Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I am so thankful for the gospel in my life!  I am so thankful that I went to the General Relief Society broadcast on Saturday even though I had been running since 7:30 AM and had no one to go with.  The talks were so inspiring and the spirit was so strong and once again I felt my Heavenly Father's love for me.  I am so blessed!

Ryder goes to Preschool!

 On August 29, Ryder had his first day of preschool for this year.  He is attending SUU's lab preschool where all the students earning their Early Childhood degrees put in their hours.  He has been so excited to go to school this year which is a big change from last year when half the time he didn't want to go.  As we pulled up to the school I asked him if he was ready for this and his response was "Of corse I'm ready for this, it's not like it is the biggest day of my whole life."  He is such a character and I get the biggest kick out of him.

 The school is full of so many fun things to do and everyday I ask him what his favorite thing he did at school and he tells me he loves to play outside. He is lucky to have his friend Easton going to school with him again this year.

This is him signing in for his first day of school.  I hope it is a great year!!
