Happy Halloween!

       I won't be the first to admit that I cannot stand Halloween. I think the dentist's, and the candy companies got together, and planned this holiday. But, I will admit that I did enjoy myself yesterday. :) I went to a fabulous baby shower, and got home around two. My parents left with the little boys, and our princess to go see the grandparents. I got to hang around the house with the big man and watch Cake Boss. I ended up being rounded up into taking my brothers, and  three of my cousins out trick-or-treating. We had only went to two houses when Lexi showed up! Let's just say, it went pretty crazy after that....so all in all, my night consisted of handing out candy, finding my real laugh, SENDING my real laugh. Also, handing out ten cucumbers, trick-or-treating, porch lights, Limenozo (spelling), "Every little thing is gunna be al-", and a few little films.....I think I might start to enjoy Halloween after this!! :) Hope you all had a safe and spooky Halloween!!

Our Mini Miracle

       Well, as I said previously, I knew I would get used to having our little princess here. Now I can't even dream of her leaving! Which is not a very good thing I will say....but I know she was here for a reason. So that is all that is keeping me going. I love her so much! She is so cute, and little. We still don't know what we are going to call her, because we all call her something different. I just call her princess, or baby. Which fits just as well. :)
      She is such a blessing. Some would even say a miracle, I am one of those that would say a miracle. It is no lie. For those who don't know, we weren't expected to get another foster girl for a very long time. She is our miracle.  Miracles come in so many different ways. Whether we think so or not. It doesn't have to be the big things where you go "Whoa." because you watched someone be healed right before your eyes.   It can be the simple things that make a big difference. Even if our little girl is only here for a couple weeks, she will have made an impact on our family. She is our mini miracle. I appreciate these days that she has been in our home, and I hope that I will always remember these times.
                     I love our miracle.

New Addition

          I am so excited I don't know if I will be able to do this post. Yesterday, I heard from my grandma that my mommy got a call for a new foster baby. I didn't believe her for the littlest while. But when I fully realized it, it sort of hit me. I'm going to have a little sister again! I was so excited! When my mom went to go pick her up I was really excited. I couldn't wait! It took her a while to get  her, but she is here. We are all so thrilled.
         It really hasn't hit (with me at least) that there is another gorgeous baby in our house. I am so happy, but it just seems that the mom should be coming to get her anytime. But it shouldn't take long before I am having a hard time deciding which bow to put with her Sunday dress! :) I love her so much!
        I need to thank my Father in Heaven for everything that He has given me. He knows this girl needs a home, and I'm glad He is knows that we can offer good for her. I am overjoyed that He would trust in our family enough to let us take care of His children. I love Him so very much. :)

Seminary Lesson! :)

  General Conference today was amazing! Figured I might as well just say that. :)
      I just want to thank my Seminary teacher Brother Card. He is the most amazing seminary teacher anyone could ever ask for! Our lesson on Thursday was....I can't even describe it. But it was one of those lessons you won't ever forget. It was on the Atonement. We normally have class discussions with certain things, but he felt impressed that we should have a silent lesson. I'm so grateful that Brother Card is able to understand when the Spirit is speaking to him. I really needed that lesson that he gave. I am so grateful for him. I cannot tell you guys how much Seminary means to me! It is wonderful! :) I love it with all my heart.
