Holy cow how time flies! I am getting worse and worse at posting...so sorry! I am trying to be better :) So here are some of the things we did during June...and we are going back a little ways because I discovered I haven't posted some pics from awhile ago...
this is actually when we announced to Mark's family that we are pregnant...Easter Sunday. Hunter was 4 months old
here he is 5 months old (in May)...looking like a greek god! hanging out with dad
At the beginning of June Tanner and I finished soccer :) YEAH
here Hunter is almost 6 months old...
he is a very happy baby!!
And in between all of this we were able to go down to my parents...on a very quick trip...when my mom called on a Saturday afternoon to inform us that my dad was being put in as the 1st counselor of the new Stake Presidency! We hurried and packed and headed down! We went to their Stake conference that was combined with another Stake because they were splitting the two and making a third Stake. So they put in two new Stake Presidencies that day. And Elder Holland was the General Authority presiding!!
I can't describe in words the feelings I had that day listening to him and just being in his presence! The one word that comes to mind is "Home"...I felt at home with him in the room. Very peaceful and content. He gave and amazing talk to the youth that day and spoke of giving yourself to the Lord for at least 10 years of your life...especially during their time of very important decisions. He said if they would do that then the Lord will bless them for the rest of their lives. Some funny quotes he said were "We (parents) have been in your shoes, you haven't been in ours!" He was referring to when teenagers think their parents don't know what they are going through. And he said, "DON'T BE STUPID!" and "Don't EVER leave the Church!" At the end of the talk he gave everyone in the room a blessing. And being pregnant and having a 6 month old one of the things he said has really stuck out to me. He said, "I bless the little children, toddlers, infants, and babies coming into the world that they will be strong and be able to live in this very difficult world." After the conference we went to see my dad get set apart...I was five feet away from an apostle of God! Wow! He talked to Tanner and Parker and said that he had mission papers in his briefcase that he would love to fill out right now! And he even said hi to Hunter too. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget! I just thought I would share that with you all. :)
(on Monday is Hunter's 6 month appointment...so I will post more pictures and an update soon!)
