Get your tickets...

Because of the incredible demand to see the production of Savior of the World, they have announced a new showing date for Wednesday, April 9th. Tickets are available now. Get them quickly though because we have all but sold out all of our original showings in only ten days of opening the tickets to the public. Group seating is available for youths groups if you would like to take your YM/YW. But book 'em quickly.  It is a beautiful show and I am very excited. I hope to see many of you there.

I still have some tickets for Thursday and Friday if you want to give me a call or email me.

This has been a very difficult week for our family. On Tuesday I went in for my 16 week, routine OB visit when the Dr found no heart beat. The ultrasound confirmed that our baby didn't make it. From Tuesday until Friday I carried the lifeless child with me until they performed the D & C. It has been emotionally and physically draining for all of us. I am so grateful that my mom has been able to be here with me and help out with the girls. I have also been blessed by the love and concern of friends and family bringing in fresh homemade bread, cookies, flowers, chocolates, tubs of frozen yogurt, fruit platters, phone calls and emails. Thank you so much for your kindness, thoughts and prayers in our behalf. 

The night that Travis and I found out we talked about feelings and premonitions that we had each had leading up to this event. At the time we did not recognize them for what they were but we can see now that the Lord was preparing us for this circumstance. It is hard and yet those promptings helped to prepare us for this and have helped us to accept that His plan is greater than our understanding. 

On a brighter note, I snapped this photo of the girls two days after I found out. They reminded me that even though I am sad, I have two beautiful reasons to rejoice. Even in adversity there is joy to be found. I hope that we can all find reasons to rejoice. 

Savior of the Wolrd

I haven't been around the blogging community much these days because I usually do my blogging at night after the kids have settled down for bed and for the past 2 1/2 months I have been gone 3-4 nights a week from 6 until 10 pm rehearsing for this:
Las Vegas is hosting the largest production of Savior of the World. I have been blessed to be a part of this beautiful testimony building production that is based on the birth and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. The Anthem Stake has nearly funded the entire production including the buying out of the Hendrson Pavilion so that tickets will be available to the entire community for free. We hope to encourage all to come and to invite members as well as non-members so that we can share our testimony of Christ.
The production will be April 10-12. The show begins at 7:30 and is reserved for ages 7 and up. Tickets should be available starting next week. You can visit savioroftheworld.info for more info. Also, I have access to better seating if you would like me to get tickets for you. The Pavillion seats 2,500 so you definitely want to get your tickets early for reasonable seating. I hope you can all take the time to come and even bring someone (investigator) and share your testimony of Christ with them.

Madelyn

I know she looks innocent but the reality is that I cannot keep up with this kid! We've started calling her TAZ because everywhere she goes becomes a disaster area. She is so busy getting into or on top of everything...She exhausts me!

Princesses don't clean their room!

Avery is a funny girl these days. The other night I asked her to clean up her room to which she matter of factly replied, "Mom, princesses don't clean their rooms." 

So I said, "well you do and you'd better get started or you will go to bed early tonight."

She said, "well then, I'll turn myself into a witch and witches do not go to bed."

Merry Cristmas

Think Blue

WOW! What a surprise. I just learned that I am pregnant. This literally came as a shock to me because I do not have cycles when I am nursing and I was using contraceptives but I kept getting nauseous as well as other symptoms so I took a pregnancy test this week and what do you know but it tells me I will have three kids under the age of 3!

Travis didn't take the news lightly either. He informed me that this time he refuses to come to the ultrasound. If it is a boy I am allowed to call him but if it isn't,
"just drive yourself straight form the Doctor's office to your mom's house and stay with her until the delivery!" Thanks for the support Hon! Well I can enjoy my home for at least 11 more weeks.

Fall Festivities

Yes, we've been out of town again. Ever since my mom married and went to Farmington, Utah I can't get enough of that place. We have been there once a month since April. I love to go visit her because it is green and beautiful, it is cooler and they have great shopping. My favorite part is that it is family friendly with tons of community places and activities for kids. And of course, my mom is there. The girls had a blast doing all of the fall festivities such as cornbellies at Thanksgiving Point, Gardner Village and two birthday costume birthday parties. Here are some pics...
