Joy Moments

One of my favorite people did a workshop at Stake Women's Conference encouraging us to take some time to recognize our true "Joy Moments." The last week amongst the chaos of everyday life I have had a few of these moments that I wanted to share…

*Watching my baby boy walk by himself. Easton has overcome huge trials in his little life, with what seems like just a blink of an eye. A mother couldn't be prouder.

*Watching Sadie and Easton play and give kisses, hearing Sadie say, "walk to Sister!" Seeing my babies able to interact with one another is wonderful.

*Hearing Sadie say her prayers, thanking HF for a FHE lesson we did a month ago… hearing her in the most simple words thank Heavenly Father for coming to our house. I hope that is her way of thanking Heavenly Father for the spirit.

*Seeing Easton fold his arms for the prayer.

*Being with my family in the quiet, beauty of the mountains. No distractions.

*Watching my babies sleep. Andy included

Heavenly Father has blessed me with so much. I am so grateful to be a wife and a mother.
