Another Anniversary......10 years...

We were sealed in the Manti Temple October 17Th....

Yes I know that just last week I posted that it was my anniversary, it is also our tenth year anniversary tomorrow. James and I were married in Las Vegas 11 year ago on the 7Th of October, and we were sealed for time and all eternity on the 17Th of October in the Manti Temple. What a
truly amazing feeling to be able to look over the altar at the man you will be sealed to for eternity. I remember many emotions going through my mind, that morning.

When we were married in Vegas I knew that it wasn't forever, there was much preparation in going to the temple, but what a

blessing to be able to have those promises, to know that it will be forever if we

do what is right. I love you James, thanks for being my Forever!!

Love You Melissa

Marble time...

Caleb and Mommy SMILE

Daddy Caleb and I had fun today playing with the marbles. Caleb was so proud of himself for building such a cool tower ...

Moon Ball

I tried to take a photo of the moon but it didn't work to well

Caleb went with me for a little walk tonight, I had to take something to a neighbor. As we were walking Caleb looked up into the sky and said " Mom look at the MOON BALL, I want to bounce it!" I laughed, and tried to explain that the moon was to far away and way to big to bounce, but he was determined that he was going to grab it, he really wanted to bounce it like a ball... He continued to try to reach into the sky and grab the "moon ball," unable to reach it he came up and said "Mom pick me up and help me reach it peas?" So I grab him and lifted him up into the sky, he reached as far as he could and said, with a sigh " Mom I can't reach the moon ball oh darn!" He makes me laugh so hard, he is always saying the funniest things!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHANTEL...

Wow...

Wow I was looking through some photos and I found this one,

this was taken almost six years ago, I still can't believe that I

was that big. 300lbs down to 178lbs..almost half the person I was...

Family Fun...

Wow, when I got up this morning this is what I saw... Snow in October..

I'm not sure I am ready for the cold weather.

Caleb found the camera and took a photo of himself... He likes to

take pics..

Fast Sunday...

Today was Fast Sunday and that means in Sacrament Meeting we have testimonies meeting, I enjoy listening to everyone share their testimonies, usually I am not one to get up and share mine but I couldn't push away that feeling inside me. I decided that I would try to get Nathaniel to go up and share his testimony, I said "Nathaniel if you go up I will go up?" He replied "No way mom I can't do that!" So I decided that I wouldn't either, and just sat there and continued to listen, but as time grew nearer to being over, once again the spirit whispered get up and share your testimony, I again asked Nathaniel if he would like to go up with me, and again he replied "no thanks." The spirit was so strong, I picked myself up and went up to share my testimony. I sat and waited my turn, to my surprise, Nathaniel walked up a couple minutes later and sat by me. He leaned over and whispered into my ear, "Mom the spirit kept bugging me and it wouldn't leave me alone, so I finally decided I better get up and share my testimony!" I couldn't help but start to cry, how sweet that he listened to that feeling, I love Nathaniel so very much, I am very proud of him. My prayer is that we can all listen to the spirit when it whispers to us, and act on that feeling.
