I am trully blessed...

Every six months our church has General conference which is broadcast around the world. Our prophet and his apostles and other church leaders speak to us. It is so uplifting and wonderful to hear these words of encouragement and guidance. I am so grateful for the restored gospel and how smoothly it works when one prophet dies and a new prophet is called. And I am so grateful for our new prophet, Thomas S. Monson. I have always loved this man, he speaks with so much strength but with so much love and humility. And he is so funny. He relates so well with others, especially the youth of our church. "We thank thee O' God for a prophet, To guide us in these latter days" I love those words!

Yesterday evening we went and played at the park. We played Ultimate Frisbee! I had never played before and it was so much fun! While our 4 oldest kids played frisbee with us our 2 yr. old was rocking her baby in the middle of the field and hushing us because her baby was asleep. Oh, it warms my heart still when I think of it. She is such a little mommy. I am usually so sad when I think of my kids growing up. I love being a mom( I've been a mom since I was 19) and it makes me sad to think of my little ones gone from home. But this weekend there were several times when I looked at my older kids and was so overcome with what wonderful young adults they are becoming. They show so much respect and responsibility. And even though it makes me a little sad I am proud of them and proud of what they stand for.

It really was such a wonderful weekend, And I am so happy I was with my cute kiddos and my sweet husband. I am trully blessed!
