* Emily: section 64  verse 20-39 Forgiveness of sins to people

*Axie: Alma 10. Prayer helps.

*Dad: Alma 14. God lets bad things happen but if you're faithful it will work out.

*Mom: Section 63 verse 38.blessed are the dead that die in the lord. They shall rise from the dead and thereafter.

*Ethan: Elder Gong talk. Forgiveness

*Scott: I love to see the temple; Elder Eyring. Remembered pre-mortal experience 

We are trying something new. Each person in the family shares one message from their personal scripture study each day. 

• Axie - Alma 9 - Remember what the Lord does to you.
• Emily - Section 64 - The Lord forgives people who ask for forgiveness and really mean it. 
• Scott - Alma 13 - Humble yourself and have faith 
• Michael - President Nelson talk - We need to prepare to go back to the temple. 

Pictures from the day:

Birthday wishes

My sweet Emily is having a birthday and she has written a list of things she is hoping for.

In case you need a translation, the list says:

1. Love Crunch (this is a cereal)
2. LOL (she tells me it is a kind of doll)
3. $3
4. Surprise
5. Pug calendar
6. Pug toy
7. Chocolate milk
8. Orange juice
9. Oreos

I think we can handle this :)

Family Pictures

Every few years or so, we get family pictures done, whether we need to or not. I present to you the good, the bad, and the silly.

Death of the Tooth Fairy

I found the following sentences saved as a draft, but there's no date on it. I'm guessing sometime between 2013 and 2015:

Scott came home from school with a very loose tooth. He showed me how he could push it straight back with his tongue. While we were chomping on popcorn and grapes, the tooth came out.

Scott brought it over to me in his hand, offered it to me, and asked, "Mom, will you transfer a dollar to my savings account?" So much for the Tooth Fairy!
