The faith of a Child

To have the faith of a Child is a lot easier said than done, but
something that I need to work on.
These past two weeks have been not so fun at our house.
We have all had the stomach flu at least once, and kept
passing it around. Jaxson has Rota virus, poor kid!
And we all have bad colds to boot!
Cody got the stomach flu first, and missed two days of school. On the
second night he said "I hate being sick! Will you help me pray to
Heavenly Father so I will get better and not throw up any more?"
That night he asked Heavenly Father to help him get better so he could
go to school. The next day he woke up and came running in my room.
He said with a huge smile on his face, "I prayed 3 times to Heavenly Father
and asked him to help me get better, and it worked!!!"
On a daily basis my children remind me that I need to have faith.
Some days are better than others, so I am grateful for my reminders.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!

As happy as it can be when you are sick.
Poor Ethan was so sad that he was sick.
He tried so hard to feel better so he could go trick-or-treating
that night. We did go trick-or-treating, thank goodness he
didn't throw up while we were out. I was very glad it was
not too cold. The boys had lots of fun and got LOTS of Candy!!

Ethan, the Monkey

Jaxson, the cutest Skunk ever!

And Dave, the who knows what with disgusting teeth.
