AMEN!
ReplyDeleteI just got done taking the Family Foundations course, and we memorized The Family: A Proclamation to the World for that class. I had read the document a million times, but it was such a blessing to actually memorize it and see the significance of it in my life. I love the truths it teaches.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE that picture of Evie with her hair all static-y!!! Adorable! :)
Nicely done. And THAT thing looks fun.
ReplyDeleteI love this! And I need to get me one of those things! SO fun!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a really fun 'wholesome family activity'. Where ever did you find that treasure?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and such a cool bubble thingy. I second Jess's question. Where did you get that marvelous red ball-hive?

I was gonna ask if they made those things for adults but it looks like it's one size fits all.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like way too much fun for one night! Is that from Hyrum's birthday, or just a fun family toy?
