Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

Fourth of July

We went to the Fourth of July Parade in my hometown this week. The girls had a lot of fun.
Nathan is attempting to keep Meredith on the sidewalk. She wanted to go in the street like everyone else.

Emily, running for the candy.

Picking up the candy.

Meredith thought that this time she was going to make it out into the street. Of course Mom was right there with a camera, so she really wasn't going anywhere.

We ate barbecue afterwards and then the next day Grandma babysat the girls while Mommy and Daddy went to the rodeo and watched fireworks afterwards.

Emily is hilarious- before the parade began she really wanted to get in the street (which was busy)and I kept grabbing her and telling her to stay back. I sat down and she attempted to get in the street again while keeping a wary eye on me. As she put her foot off the sidewalk I jumped up and I must have had a scary look on my face cause she immediately pulled her foot back onto the sidewalk with a terrified look like she was in trouble. Then she ran the other direction.
