Updates of the Family

We have such a cute kid, no really we do. check out these pics and video. (the benefit of having cameras on phones which is a modern miracle for families like mine.)

You just can't pull that unless you a little child. (this smile wins the heart over everytime.)

He stole Grandpas heart early, he knows how to work the system.

The grass is new to him. You can tell he likes it, look at the drool coming from him.

hmmm.

I can't believe that he is sitting up so well and how active he is. He is such a ball of energy.

and with this ball of energy and him now crawling we have our hands full...lets hope we will be able to keep up with him. not only is it fun watching him crawl for the first time, but its interesting that its for the paper, he loves the paper (if he can get a hold of it he will eat it) with the paper alone we have to watch him because he will have it all in his mouth right away.

Book of mormon challenge

Well, I committed to reading the Book of Mormon this year and started in January. Part way through the month I decided after hearing a stakes challenge, to read it in a month. So I set a goal to finish it by the end of February...that was one of my hardest goals to achieve. I wouldn't have finished it if it weren't for the mp3 player on my phone. Oh and I did miss my goal but only by one day and two hours.

Now I dont challenge others to do this in a month because some times life just won't allow for that much reading in a day for some. But I do challenge everybody who reads this to set out and read the Book of Mormon again this year starting as soon as you can. I know that by doing so you will be happier. Life will be more joyful, and much easier to handle when you start getting those lemons thrown at you. I can say that because it hasnt been an easy ride for me the past couple of months. But rest assured the Lord has been with me and is still with me as I struggle to make things work out for my family and I.

As I read the Book of Mormon again I found once again in my life to know that the words which our written in them our true. That they are brought to us by the spirit of the Lord. In and through these Holy Scriptures we can find God, and His love will over take us and strengthen us at all times.

After the fact "new years resolution"

"Exercise," what is it good for? Absolutely every thing!!! I haven't been much of an exerciser since my mission. Infact I think since my mission I have worked out a total of one months worth of days but very spread out over the past almost three years now. I am trying to turn over a new leaf and be better.

Since last week I have picked up to one hundred situps, and 14 pushups(That is super low for me but thats what I get for being lazy.) I've included planks and those I hate but alas I am getting much better at them. I started out with less than a minute holding a plank and now I am above a minute and a half.

I haven't included running yet but when I get a set schedule that includes work I will add running to my list of things to do. My goal is to get back up to my five plus miles again.
