"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

Happy Birthday to Buddy & Rupert!!

Isabelle and Hyrum wanted to throw a birthday party for their loveys: Buddy the monkey and Rupert the dog. I forget how old they were turning, but it was a fun time. We hung up the 'happy birthday' banner, had a nice dinner and ended with cupcakes that even had candles in them to be blown out. Hyrum blew them out with no problem, but Isa is terrified of fire and wouldn't blow hers out (crazy right?!) so Hyrum stepped up to the plate and blew hers out too :) I find it so cute that they love their little bed buds enough to celebrate with a party!
