A bad idea...

This wasn't exactly the smartest thing to do to myself...considering my major lack of discipline!! Oh well...I guess Halloween only comes around once a year! But hmmm...I wonder what goodies I can put in there for thanksgiving and Christmas?!

Sooo many emotions....

Chris and I are at the FSA conference in Tempe this weekend. Such an awesome time for us!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Look how cute my mom is! I just love her Sooo much and I'm really missing her! But I'm grateful for her and my Dad for their example of SERVICE and missionary work!
I love you Mom and hope you had a wonderful birthday...which was on the 4th, I'm a little late :)

Voice of the Spirit

My Dad emailed this video to me and all my siblings earlier this week pleading for us to each take just 3 minutes to watch it ... I didn't take those 3 minutes until today. And what a perfect day it was to take them. I've been having an internal struggle the past couple of days. FEAR. I really dislike that feeling. It leads nowhere good. But the feeling of FEAR came to me when I started to think about everything Chris and I would have to do to receive the sweetest blessing of all...to welcome our baby into our home. Yesterday I started to wonder how it all was going to happen...
I'm grateful for the Lord's hand in everything. For the Spirit that guides me and comforts me and helps me overcome FEAR.

Cooper & Aunt Christy

Cooper was being cuddly last night. He's just sooo sweet :) Natalie better be careful...babies fly free you know...I may take him ;)

The reason we came...

Cooper's baby blessing was today and it was so sweet :)

Wisconsin State Capital Building

Today we went to Madison, about an hour from Dodgeville. I LOVED Madison. Something about old towns where all the trees are mature, all the buildings ancient, and all different types of people EVERYWHERE. There's just something about it that I love.

Farmers Market

I loved this place too. It was the reason we came to Madison. So many interesting people there. it was set up on the outskirts of a park and the Capital building was sort of nestled in the middle of it all. Also, this city is a college town. So you can imagine what I mean about all the different people. Very fascinating for someone who doesn't get out much! aka ME.

Cheese and Pretzels

Pops and I sampling Wisconsin cheese...mmmm I think my favorite was the fire house jack!
