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.

Sea Life

We went to Sea Life for our Family Vacation.We actually had the whole week for a vacation and we planned a week of taking it easy and taking our girls to do something on Mommy's "To-Do Wishlist". I can now check this off my list. I loved the little photo opps throughout with the dome inside the fish tank.



Family Vacation and a Change of Plans

The plan was to go to the Phoenix Zoo, but when we got there that place was a crazy mad house. I quickly regretted my decision to go there and started hoping the other place I'd been dreaming of taking my kids might be a little less crowded. The girls had their swim shirts on because of the water play area at the zoo. I think we made a good choice. We got a little side tracked on our way there. The girls saw this and wanted to take a ride. They ended up taking several and even the littlest one enjoyed it.

Meredith loving it.
Rebecca felt she was too busy for a smile. She doesn't look like she was enjoying herself...
...but here's her "serious fun" face that tells you she's having a ball.
And Kristina LOVED it! I know that this is a blurry picture, but she was just so excited and I can't help but add in this picture.

Happy excited girls.

Hiking in October

We went hiking in October. We went up Mount Lemon, did some hiking, had a barbeque and had fun. The girls were great little hikers, but we were not prepared for how cold it was. We left our sweaters in the car and by the time we were preparing our dinner we needed something heavier than sweaters. Poor cold girls hung out in the van. We had a lot of fun and it is a precious memory.
