"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes...and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp...I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really there, and that I really lived."

~Marjorie Hinckley



"Our lives are frittered away by detail; simplify, simplify." Henry David Thoreau



"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials." Lin Yutang

On the injured list September 2009

Both Brooke and Ammon "took a tumble" the last weekend in August. On Friday evening Brooke took a spill and met the sidewalk...scared Mom, who said many a prayer while tending to her wounds. Brooke ended up with a scraped nose and chin, but is ok. On Saturday late afternoon, Ammon got his foot stuck in Dad's bicycle tire...while it was moving. Ammon ended up missing a chunk of flesh about the size of a quarter near his ankle, but is ok also. We are extremely grateful that they are both doing fine and recovering well...resilience is a wonderful part of being young! They are great buddies. Here they are resting on the couch together :)
