"It's the SIMPLE things in life that count."

Marriage, family, friends...relationships.
Peace, Hope, Faith...LOVE.

But there is a lot of laundry, dishes, tears & laughter, messes, homework,
hair to fix, teaching, learning, stress and fun along the way!

Cebu, Philippines-Temple Trip

Our ward youth temple trip was over Thanksgiving weekend.
A bunch of us mom's decided to take our kids and leave
the daddies home with the little's

This was the sight the night we arrived

Jessica, Mandy, Lisel, Marissa, Britta, Bailee, Sammie
cute group of girls ready to do baptisms

LOVED being in the temple with my girls
Brit's first time
and Lis said this was her most memorable

Thanks to Christopher for chaperoning us ladies to and fro
temple to hotel
it's not the safest place :)


hotel security
Julie, Me, Suzette, Becky and Cami
some of my favorite gals
I loved getting to spend time with them!




we had yummy food!

flaming mango
so good!

and really cheap foot rubs

here's the group of youth
(wish these pics would have turned out better
I needed Spen)

group shot
they have these Jeepney's everywhere
It's their bus system
they are all so colorful and unique, and crammed with people
kinda sad I didn't get to ride in one...kinda not

Merry Christmas...

 And then we were off to enjoy a day at the beach

waiting for our bus to the airport


the airplane was at least half full of our ward

how many mormon kids can fit in a row of seats???
these kids couldn't get enough of each other
I love the incredible peace I feel when I'm in the temple.

You will be able to share these wonderful memories with many throughout your lives. You are very blessed youth of the Noble Birthright and if you always focus on the Spiritual things of this life and not let the worldly things take too much of your time, you will be filled with the peace and joy from our savior and He will work through you to bless the lives of many in your circl of influence, so they can have those blessings too. Your Nan and Pop are so grateful to have such wonderful and stalwart youth as the oldest grandchildren in our family. You are leading the way in our family and we are so proud of you.We love you and miss you Lisel and Britta, thanks for being ours for Ever. Nan and Pop in Mexico
