My blog's name I thought was very appropriote for my life. Here's the definition for "mania":
1. "excitement manifested by mental and physical hyperactivity, disorganization of behavior, and elevation of mood"

Sounds about right, huh?

Pretty Dresses

My in-laws are in town this weekend & Joy brought dresses that she made for the girls. They are SO CUTE!! The girls LOVE them. I knew that Joy was making the dresses so I scheduled an appointment at the studio to have their pictures taken while Joy & Alan are here.
It is never fun trying to get a 2 & a 3 & 1/2 year old to smile & look at the camera at the same time. Actually, Keeley did great. I bribed her with a cookie. Lillie.....not so bribable. She didn't want to smile. She didn't want to sit. She didn't think Kenny was funny (Keeley thought he was pretty silly!). All she wanted to do was pick her nose. Then Kenny scared her & it was all over! Here's some pics to document the fun filled adventure of picture taking with toddlers!

How fun! That's pretty great that Joy made them both dresses. I'm impressed. Pictures with kids is such a pain - the last photo session with my boys is still too fresh on my mind to want to go again. Maybe by Christmas... Have fun visiting with Alan & Joy!

Hey, great pictures. I like the one where Lillie is crying and Keeley is gving her a kiss. Sometimes I think the more candid pictures are better because it shows who they really are. Beatiful dresses too from Pauls Mom.

I Believe in Christ

As I reflect on all that I have been blessed with I am overwhelmed with gratitude & love for the Lord. I have been blessed with a wonderful family. Two girls who are full of love & life. A husband who works so hard to support our family, & still finds the energy to be a fantastic father. A comfortable home with all the necessities of life. I have been blessed to have been born in the USA where I have so many freedoms, including the freedom to worship as I choose. I have been blessed with goodly parents who love the Lord & have always been a steadfast example of faith & following Jesus Christ's example. I have been blessed to know that I am a child of God & can return to live with him someday if I but follow Christ's example & keep the covenants I have made with my Father in Heaven. I know that Jesus Christ came to the earth & was the perfect example of how we should live our lives in order to become more like our Heavenly Father. I know that God loves me, & all who walk the earth, so much that He allowed Christ to suffer for the sins of the world so that we can all repent (as often as is needed) & be cleansed of our sins. I know that Christ died on the cross & was resurrected so that all mankind may be resurrected as well.
I know that the Lord loves us so much that he restored the fullness of his gospel to the earth through a prophet named Joseph Smith. I know that the Lord has given us the Book of Mormon as another testament of Christ or another witness of Christ in addition to the Bible. I have read the Book of Mormon & have prayed to know of the truthfulness of it. I received this confirmation via the Holy Spirit. I know that it is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet. I know that the Lord wants to communicate with us & that He does so through a living prophet, Thomas S. Monson.
I know that our God is a loving God & that as our Heavenly Father he wants us to be eternally happy by allowing families to be together forever - not just here on the earth. Isn't that wonderful! He has made this possible through the sacred sealing ordinance. I have been blessed to have been sealed, married, to my eternal companion for time & all eternity, not just until death do us part. What a comfort this is to me! I can have my family with me forever if we obey the Lord's commandments & do His will! What could make heaven better than being with your family?I am so thankful for my knowledge of all of these things. I believe in Christ; I know that my redeemer lives; and I know that I am a child of God & that He loves me.
