.*.More to do.*.

Things have been going great, Layne is out of town a lot these days but that happens towards the end of the months. Hopefully next time he will get to take us with him before the baby gets here. He has been super busy with helping the missionaries teach lessons to a few investigators in the church which has been an awesome growing experience for him spiritually. This Sunday one of the ladies is going to come to church with us! I'm excited about that! Along the lines of Church and spiritual blessings, I thought that I would let everyone know that Layne again is super busy! He has been called to another calling in church and now is the Elders Quorum Secretary. He also is in charge of the Music on Sunday and leading in Sacrament, so he has lots to do! At first I thought, " When in the world are you going to have time for your family?" But I know that the Lord will bless him and us more then I can comprehend... I'm thankful for the opportunity that he has to be more involved with some amazing men in our ward, and I know they will be a great example to him!

Part of my New Years resolution I wanted to be better at family prayer and scripture study, all I can say is so far we are doing awesome! We have Ethan "read" the verses for us because he wont let us most of the time... he wants us to "Help" him read and it is so adorable to hear the words come from his mouth. He is able to pronounce some of those BIG words so well he sounds like a grown up. After words we say our prayers and he most of the time has to say them but we let him... Just watching and hearing him participate makes my heart so full. I have noticed such a HUGE difference in ALL of us... of course I feel it so much inside myself and notice that my attitude just with Layne working so much has changed... I feel more accepting of his job, and dont sit around all day upset cause he has been working for 14 hours with maybe a 20 minute launch break... The Lord has helped calm my nerves and I am happier, and so grateful for the help he has provided. I'm So thankful for the gospel in our lives and the beautiful family I have been blessed with. I know that the power of prayer is real, because I have felt and witnessed the changes and happiness is brings into our lives.
I'm excited to keep up on reaching our goals as a family, and to teach our sweet boys the importance of living the gospel, and the joy and happiness it brings.
