Today's Family: The Eternal Role of Mothers click on link to read the article http://www.lds.org/study/prophets-speak-today/unto-all-the-world/the-eternal-role-of-mothers?lang=eng I love this paragraph about mothers. "Among the most important roles of a mother is the call to nurture, Elder Ballard says. “A mother’s nurturing love arouses in children, from their earliest days on earth, an awakening of the memories of love and goodness they experienced in their pre-mortal existence,” he declares. “Because our mothers love us, we learn, or more accurately remember, that God also loves us.”" "Mommy, I love you!", Cheryl says as she wakes me up at 6:30 in the morning. "I love you too, honey", I say, as I hug her tight and never want to let her go. I will take those moments any chance I get, whether it's 6:30 in the morning or in the middle of the night while I am sick and holding my sick child. I have never felt that I truly found my

We have been playing outside a lot lately and pulling weeds. Nathan took over most of the dreadful weeds while I  keep the girls busy, busy and busy. I think we are almost done with the weeds so we can enjoy our backyard now. Thanks honey for all the hard work. I love the spring and heat...just not the allergies that come with it. And I love that the girls get to run around outside. XOXO-Erin

Okay I am going to Brag about myself right now (which I rarely do). I finally made edible homemade bread! Yep, that's right it only took 7 or so years of me saying that I could never make bread, rolls or any dough that had any thing to do with yeast. Yeast, I was so afraid of it. I have no idea why. My homemade bread isn't only edible, it is darn right delicious. I have been on a bread making tangent...making it every week. I don't even need a recipe anymore. I have made Honey whole wheat, and white...Nathan loves the white bread so I make more of that. I also can make pizza dough and breadsticks. Now we have pizza every friday. So funny where I used to be and now I feel like I can make anything...almost. XOXO-Erin

Here is a video of Easter morning too. June was so sleepy.  Easter gets funner and funner the older the girls get. The Easter bunny came with some Easter baskets and we even decorated eggs this year. I am usually not that into it, but this year I even made the girls matching Easter dresses. And the girls looked adorable. I didn't get a lot of pictures because we rushed out the door for church, and when we got home they were so tired. And Cheryl didn't want her dress on any more. So, I am deffiantly going to take some more pics of there pretty dresses. XOXO-Erin

In December I had surgery on my nose. I had a deviated septum. And the Doctor said it was so bad that he didn't know how I could breath out of it. And that I would benefit from not only getting the inside fixed, but the outside too. If I just fixed the inside then I might have to get that surgery re-done in a few years, so I decided to get both done. Now that I was getting the outside done, I wanted to get the bump removed. So, on December 22st(The day after Nathans birthday) I had surgery on my nose. The night before my parents, and brother and his family came to help take care of the girls and spend Christmas together. Nathan took me in and while I was in surgery he went to get my prescription and hit a poll in the parking lot with the car. So, funny,  I had to share. So, I went home to recover and was completely out of it. I went later to watch Christmas video's and didn't remember just about everything, let alone even filming it all. About a week after, m

ABC and 123! I told Cheryl that she could open some of her presents as soon as Daddy came home. So, she opened a couple first thing in the morning. Thank you all who got Cheryl a gift or card. We had corn dogs and fry's for lunch, one of Cheryl's favorite things to eat and yummy cake, that I did not make this year. And I have to say it was super easy. After that she opened her presents. She was so cute, asking Daddy to help her rip the paper off. I also made her a shirt and skirt. She was so exhausted that she took a nap right after and she wanted to sleep with all her presents in her bed. Luckily it snowed the night before and Cheryl loves the snow, so we went outside to play in the snow after her nap. It was such a fun day. I can't believe we have a 3 year old! Cheryl is now 3 years old, as of January 5th, 2012. Cheryl is a beautiful, smart, fun, and lovable little girl. She always knows how to put a smile on my face. She will climb onto my lap a
