On Saturday carolyn Angela and I got to go listen to the word of God at Women's conference. It was so special. All of the questions we brought were answered. Heavenly Father hears our prayers and knows out questions and concerns and answers them. I love that conference is uplifting, comforting, and strengthening every time. How blessed are we to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. I will forever be grateful for the missionaries (like Dan jones) and my ancestors who had such faith and pressed forward and now myself and my cute family has the gospel in our lives!!

Today we were driving home from church. Carolyn was talking all cute to Julie and julie laughed!! For the first time the most adorable laugh!! She is ridiculously smiley. Like if she is crying, I can just smile and talk to her and she'll smile back. Yes she is so smiley and now laughs!!! Yay!! Such a cute and amazing sound!

One thing I just love about Tommy is that he calls himself "tom tom" and he talks in third person quite regularly. "Tom tom on slide" and then he goes on a slide. I love him

I have found that I just love every stage of kids so far. Julie hit a great stage in life where she responds to people. This morning she was crying and I looked at her and said "julie" and I smiled big at her. She looked at me and stopped crying and smiled back. ❤️

Angela does between 12 to 14 hour practices for gymnastics every week. And that doesn't include her  5 hour meets!! (Which are to come next weekend. Her first one!!). I wrote Angela's gymnastics coach a letter letting her know that the meets on Sunday Angela could not attend. When we joined the gymn Angela made the amazing decision that she didn't want to compete on Sunday's and I made sure that was okay with the gym but I wanted to give a reminder with meets coming up. angelas coach called me and first said that she thought it was great Angela wasn't competeing on Sunday. She said something like, "you are doing what all of us should be doing. Honoring the sabbath day". My heart was full of gratitude for this. I have been so touched by how many good people are in the world. What the coach said next made my heart burst. Before getting off the phone, she voluntarily said that she thought Angela was so kind and so hard working. It just touched my heart. I am glad that she loves gymnastics but I know that that can't bring true joy into our lives.  It's keeping the commandments and loving. It touched my heart to hear someone see this in Angela. That she is so hard working at what she does and that she is so kind. I am so proud of her.
