"Parents must bring light and truth into their homes by one family prayer, one scripture study session, one family home evening, one book read aloud, one song, and one family meal at a time. They know that the influence of righteous, conscientious, persistent, daily parenting is among the most powerful and sustaining forces for good in the world. The health of any society, the happiness of its people, their prosperity, and their peace all find common roots in the teaching of children in the home." - Elder L. Tom Perry

Mother's Day/Memorial Weekend

For Mother's Day, James surprised me with a trip to Jackson, but we didn't go until Memorial Weekend. It rained the whole time we were there, but we had a wonderful time. The drive was so gorgeous and it made us so grateful for where we live. We spent the first day shopping and relaxing and ended the evening with a nice dinner and the play "Oklahoma"- it was awesome! The next morning we got ready and headed home... very peaceful, relaxing weekend :) Isabelle stayed the night at Grandma Watson's house- the first time sleeping all night at Nana's!! She enjoyed herself and had so much to tell us when we got home. When I asked her what she did she said: "hamburger, fry, chocolate milk"- apparently she enjoyed a happy meal while we were gone :) Here are some pics from our trip to Jackson- we didn't take many because it was so rainy and overcast our first day there that you couldn't even see the Tetons :( Oh well!

On the way home, we saw a moose as soon as we crossed the Idaho/Wyoming border. It was right on the side of the road so James stopped the car really quick and kept telling me to get a picture... I was more worried about the moose hurting me and the car since it was so close- I know I'm such a chicken!- so these are the pics I was able to get:
