A NEW YEAR! Goals: Being a better parent, and co-parent. Helping the kids learn new skills. Those are 2 HUGE goals...so they are what I am sticking with.

Great Grandmas 90th Birthday Party. Kicked off the month

Daddy and his baby at Great Grandmas Party

B and I got to go Las Vegas for one of his Seminars. I was mostly alone, but we got dinners together and I LOVE FOOD and we just had a great time even in the car driving, being together. I am so glad we found eachother and can have such a great friendship and relationship, and such a beautifully mixed family.

Fun on the Strip, in Vegas.

To rap up the Month, Papa Lundell took you kids to the Circus and YOU GOT TO RIDE AND ELEPHANT!!!! I am SO jealous! I have always wanted to ride an elephant and I didn't get the option! You guys are SO spoiled!

Sister and Babez ran 1K race with Ridge and Austin, and had SO much fun! Grandma Joy ran the 5K

Our Family is Complete!!!

I share this intimate picture to also share my testimony.  As most of my closest friends and family know of my struggle these past couple years, of failure, forgiving, overcoming, seeking, and trying to stand on my feet.   I decided early on in this pregnancy that I wanted to do it drug free. My 3 previous experiances of having a baby was easy...epidural/no pain...just push the baby out in less than 5 pushes and be done.  This time however was NOT easy at all...but I feel the reward was so much more.  The overcoming something hard, the patience of enduring, the extreme pain, and something I felt was the closest physically that I could get a glimpse of what the Savior has done for me.  After she came out all I could do was cry from the triumph I felt at achieving the goal I set....and then this scripture in Alma came to my mind:

"And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain!"  (Alma 36:20)

Anyways I wanted to share my belief in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and of a Savior and Redeemer, who died that we might LIVE, and that we might triumph. We can have forgiveness, and just as important we can forgive with His help.  We can overcome and achieve the goals we set with Him by our side.
