aww...

to start off this post, i will put in ahead of time that i'm not usually the one who talks about churchy things, so sorry if this totally throws you off lol.... i just don't feel the need to advertise it and write about it, i have no idea why.

but a little background information is that my lovely husband {who is much more motivated than i, good thing i married him}and i discussed that we should begin our scripture study again since we have been lacking with our vacationing lately. what we do is we read our scriptures separately, write our thoughts down, discuss them and then together read a conference article together and discuss we want to do in our family. the other day, we read Elder Bednar's talk from this last conference about being spiritually prepared to be aware and help your children when they need it. he mentions something about how even infants can recognize the spirit and to read them book of mormon stories.

so we decided to buy the baby some books so that we can read him some stories from the book of mormon. but then i found this board book with all these pictures in it by Greg Olsen and showed it to baby. and he got so so so excited in his carseat, i almost choked up. or may have. you'll never know. it's like he knew exactly who he was looking at =) who knows if he actually just got excited because i was showing him a book or if he actually recognized who it was, but it was such a cool thing to see.

sometimes when he's crazy i forget that i'm just borrowing him from heavenly father as my child, he was his first. but then there's times like these when i see that he really is just a little spirit given to me who is pretty amazing.

p.s. mommy learned that our morning walk is essential to having a good day. without it he's a beast. then we go for a walk, he falls asleep and wakes up like nothings ever been wrong ever. crazy but an easily solved problem when we're being a beasty right? =)
