FIRST SLEDDING TRIP FOR HILL FAMILY

SNOW SNOW SNOW

Brendon has been waiting since Christmas to use his new snow blower that he got for a christmas gift from his Aunt and Uncle. Well today was the day in Centennial, Colorado. He is doing our driveway and then he states he is going to do the whole neighborhood. Boys and their toys.

SWEET ASSURANCES

This past weekend Brendon took care of the kids while I attended Time Out For Women. The theme of the conference was "Sweet Assurances." I am grateful for the sweet assurance of old friends and new friends. The church has such wonderful women in it and I met three wonderful women this weekend. I think the funnest part of Time Out was staying in a hotel with my friend Sari and staying up til one thirty in the morning talking while laying in bed. Thanks for a wonderful weekend Sari, Tarah, Niki and Liz.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RABMLINGS OF EMILY

Today being my 34th birthday I laid in bed last night thinking over the last 34 years of my life that I can remember. First off, I am forever grateful that my parents met, my mother joined the church, and they had me. I wouldn't be where I am today without two amazing parents. I am grateful for my 3 brothers, their spouses and all my cute nieces and nephews. To my grandparents that are still living and have passed on I am grateful for the heritage they have given me. Last night we celebrated my birthday early because Brendon has to work at the firehouse today. Paige and daddy went shopping and she picked out the coolest things for my birthday. She gave me two aqua globes and a new cowboy hat. Brendon picked out the cake and my was it delicious. Parker and Madi kept taking my presents and saying "my day, my day." It was a blast. I love my 3 beautiful children and my awesome husband. I am thankful to be celebrating 34 years on this earth. I am thankful for good friends. Speaking of good friends. My best friend since Junior High sent me a link to her blog last night and she gathered pictures of us from the last twenty plus years together and put them into a slide show last night and did a post for me wishing me a Happy Birthday. I laughed my head off last night recalling all the fun memories we have made. I am also thankful for one good friend whom I only knew for six months, but I felt such a bond with her , her husband and their two cute kids. I miss them so much but just knowing how strong our friendship is, I know that we will be friends forever. (You know who you are in Lake Tahoe). Last but certainly not least I am thankful for My Heavenly Father who has given me the opportunity to be on this earth today. He has given me three spirits of his to raise, and he has also given me trials and tribulations so that I may become stronger spiritually. Thanks to everyone who has made my last thirty four years the best.
