Happy Birthday Olivia "Peanut"


It's our little peanut's 1st birthday! It has been so much fun watching her grow this past year while she has been living with us. We are constantly entertained by her little personality and the funny things she does and how alert and happy she is all of the time. We love you Olivia.

Words From Our Prophet

“Time never stands still, it must steadily march on and with the marching come the changes.
This is our only chance at mortal life, here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization, that it is brief. Opportunities come and then they're gone.
I believe that among the lessons we are to learn on this brief sojourn on this earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that allusive and non-existent future when you can do all that you want to do. Instead find joy in the journey, now.”

“My brothers and Sisters, there is no tomorrow to remember if we don’t do something today.”

"Rather than dwelling on the past, we should make the most of today, of the here and now, doing all we can to provide pleasant memories for the future. If you're still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will, to your surprise, miss them profoundly.
Stresses in our lives come regardless of our circumstances. We must deal with them the best we can. But we should not let them get in the way of what is most important. And what is most important almost always involves the people around us. Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume, we should let them know."
