PRESIDENT GORDON B. HINCKLEY

"To you women of today who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many-now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings"

HaPpY BiRthDaY LilLy!











Lilly turned 7 on April 7, 2011. Her day was filled with surprises and lots of fun. The highlight was lunch with daddy. Kyle ate lunch with her at school and he said he will cherish that day forever! When Kyle got to the school he waited out in the hall as to not make a disturbance. He heard Mrs. Walker inside the class telling all the students to line up for lunch. Then Mrs. Walker peeked her head out the door and looked at Kyle, didn't say a word, then walked back inside. Afterwards, Kyle overheard Mrs. Walker gently say, " Yes, Lilly, he is here." Man,was she excited for daddy but she was nervous that he may have forgotten their plans.

Lilly's party theme was a FUN-SHINE PARTY..."Planting the seeds of fun!" The girls did crafts, painted pots, planted a flower, baked cupcakes in silicone flower pots and frosted them with yummy dirt and worms.

Max Moments: Thanksgiving Point-Farm Country

A few funny moments while at the farm:

  • Max sees a Clydesdale horse and says, "He's GINORMOUS!"

  • Max is watching the goats and says in a serious voice, "They speak Spanish."

Oh Max! What will you do or say next? Oh, let me tell you what he did this morning. Sunday morning while the whole family was still in bed asleep, Max awoke and decided he will make his own breakfast. He got out the pancake mix, bowl and spoon. He poured water in it and made a batch of pancake batter. To my surprise he did a pretty good job. I used the batter and served them up! Lilly said they were really good (she's a pancake snob)
