Thanksgiving

So I'm a bit late with this blog but since I started my new job as a 911 dispatcher all of my spare time I try to spend with the kiddos! It's hard going back to work after being a stay at home Mom. I love my job but I really REALLY miss being around the kids! So here are a few pics of the festivities... it turned out loverly and was really fulfilling (literally!).

Sophie's earrings

Sophie came to me one day with the dangly earrings that I wore for Halloween saying "Momma, I wear these?" I explained to her that to wear these earrings you have to get holes poked into your ears and that it hurts really bad. Her response to this was

"I be brave Momma, I be brave!" How could I tell her no... so off we went to the store.

She picked out some sparkley pink earrings and they sat her down on the stool. She sat beaming from ear to ear. When they showed her the gun she got a bit nervous so she squeezed my hand. When the time came to put the earrings in she did not even flinch. She was so amazing! She proudly shows off her pretty little ears to anyone who wants to see them (and some that don't). What a cute little princess!!

Merry Christmas

As the Christmas season comes and goes I hope that we can all take time from the world and remember the Savior and the enormous sacrifice that was made for each of us.

Despite the trials and the heartaches that come along with this earthly life, there are the pleasures of each smile, snowflake, kiss, sunset, first step, and every other wonderful experience. Take the time to stop for a moment and be thankful for the little things.

Remember to tell your loved ones just how much they mean to you because we are all on the Lord's time and not our own. Live each moment to the fullest! Love to all, Jen Grover
