Team Derek

Abc 4 news interviewed my nephew Derek and his family today. They will be airing it tonight at 10. I will put the video on later:)

All of my nephews shaved their heads to support the team Derek hairstyle. I am so proud of them, and of how brave little Derek has been. Love ya Derek!

Flashback Friday

I was going through old photos today, and I just wanted to share some of my favorite memories.

Our first photo shoot. Ever. Look at us, we are babies!

First time I met this girl. I love this girl. 

and just this picture in general. 

I'll make it short and sweet (kinda)

            

Janna and I (and others occasionally) have been going to the Temple every single week for about 2 years now. So maybe not every week, but if we had missed one week, we would go twice that week.

Let me tell you, it has blessed my life.

We are truly blessed to live this close to the Temple, and we definitely need to take advantage of that. The General Authorities have made it very clear that we need to get on with family history work and genealogy. I listened. I have taken many of my family names to the Temple, and so has Janna.
I like it when we go on the same day, same time every week and the workers there recognize us and say hi to us:)
Whenever I go to the Temple, I feel like I am clearing my mind. Forgetting about anything that I have been struggling with. I there is something that is really bugging me, asking God about it at the Temple helps, a lot.
So what I'm saying is, make a goal and go to the Temple more than you usually do. What bad can come from that?

I wish I was a lion. I'd be king of the Wild.

Well, April is almost (tomorrow) over with. 

I am proud of myself. 

Turns out that I can actually accomplish something.

My April photo a day challenge was a success!

Janna has perfectly put into words my life.

King Charles-a man that makes me happy and scared at the same time.

It happens that he is in one of our inside jokes. He gets us:)

Here are the last few photos of April-

It finally feels like spring today, and it will for the rest of the week:)

T-shirts for the rest of the week...YES!

I want to make another bucket list, Janna, and actually stick to it. Oh, and probably not lose it.

That might be good.

Day 21

Day 22

Day 23

Day 24

Don't forget to smile.

I have felt really lazy this week, and haven't really gotten much done.

I think it's Tom's fault. 

I FINISHED VARIANT!

Oh, my heck.

Such a good book.

I'm looking for the next one, Feedback, but I have heard it isn't quite as good as the first book.

But that's how it usually goes, right?

So, if you're looking for a good read, read Variant. 

It's probably as good as Hunger Games in my eyes. 

Well, I have a few photos for you.

Oh, and the title up there. Smile. It makes your week ten times better:)

I'm learning

I like to turn up my music when no one is home.
Pretend like I have a clue how to sing. And dance. Even though I already know I can't do that.
I had a good talk tonight (code talk;) ((inside joke, inside joke:))

Day 13

I found the sun:)
