Thanks so much to all of you who let me come and share in your lives this summer. I had a wonderful time and hope it can all happen again. I'm missing the kids/babies and wish we could be closer. Thought you might enjoy some pictures from my summer adventures - Someone from work asked me what I had done so far during my vacation and I told them I went swimming, played baseball, played Barbi's, pushed swings, crashed off a slide, took baby dolls on walks....and loved every minute!

You are all doing such a great job of parenting....it truly is reflected in these sweet little spirits. Our summer isn't over yet as we look forward to having Kate and Jonathan here in a couple of weeks and Adam, Cory, Samantha, and Paul the following week.
Happy Birthday Kate on August 3rd!
Just some last "Mom" talk....
This week we were able to go to the Temple with our Stake Leadership group. President Brown (Denver Temple Pres) spoke to us in the chapel before the session and counseled us to come to the Temple often. We all know that but sometimes let other things interfere. I just wanted to pass on some quotes that he shared -
President Hinckley: "If a bishop can get his members to the temple, 90% of the members' problems (and bishops' problems) will go away."
Promise by Pres. Benson: "I promise you that, with increased attendance in the temples of God, you shall receive increased personal revelation to bless your life..."
President Monson: "As we come to these holy houses of God...we shall be able to bear every trial and overcome each temptation."
President Hinckley: " I make you a promise that if you will go to the House of the Lord, you will be blessed; life will be better for you."
We love you all so much. Thanks for indulging me - I am going to get better!
