Field Trips 2014

I got to go with Cannon's 4th Grade class to the Tacoma Rainier's game last spring. He was happy to have me there, but mostly just wanted to sit by his friend Will.

Getting the hot dog and chips for lunch. (You can see Principal Jensen in the back in the blue jacket.)

Cannon and Mrs. Combs

I love going with my kids on field trips and this was a fun one because most of the students hadn't been to a game before and they made it really fun with lunch and meeting the mascot.

We had one light dusting of snow (snow day) this year. It was Thanksgiving weekend and Lyla was the only one healthy enough to enjoy it. Even though you could still see the grass through the snow she managed to sled a few times down the hill. She enjoyed it, but really wished she had a brother and sister to play with.

Katrina, Aaron, Amber, Andra, Phil, Tamara, Darlyn

Phil always has to be the joker.

Enjoying the ferry ride over to Vashon for Thanksgiving dinner. Sometimes I see pictures of Phil and can't believe I am the lucky lady married to such a handsome man.

Miya getting pictures of me and Cannon.

Thanksgiving was wonderful with all of Phil's family here for the event. Tons of cousins for the kids to play with and a great Seahawks football game for after dinner. Love these in-laws of mine and so great to live so close to family so we can share holidays together. Wish I would have captured the intense wrestling match with all the little boys after dinner. They all had serious faces and we luckily stepped in to stop things before anyone got hurt.

Face Painting

Phil did some face painting last year at Lyla's birthday party. The problem with a perfectionist is that he takes a long time on each face and Lyla never even got hers painted during the party. She is asking for it again this year, but would like to go first! I am sure all the parents were super happy when they came to pick up their girls.

Family Pictures 2014

It was a beautiful day out at the Nisqually Bird Refuge with the sun shining and the wind blowing. Jamie Pace always does such a great job getting our best side and then editing like crazy to have us look so good. Such a talented friend I have and such a great beautiful family. I am one blessed lady and so very grateful for all I have been given.

My Testimony

I have finally decided to follow in the footsteps of my wonderful Grandfather and put my testimony in writing. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and know that I have been greatly blessed to have strong and courageous ancestors who brought the Gospel into my life. Through much study and prayer I have come to know that I have a personal Savior, Jesus Christ that lived and died for me. I know that He lives and has conquered death that I too may live again. I know that my Father in Heaven has given all the oppurtunity to receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost through baptism because he loves us. The Holy Ghost can testify of the truthfulness of all things to our hearts, both things of this physical world and also the spiritual relm. We can receive answer to prayer by searching the scriptures for in them are truth and light.
I love the Prophet, Joseph Smith and am thankful for the sacrifices he made in restoring the Gospel back to the earth. I know that he saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ and that they spoke to him. I know that there is a Prophet on the earth today that speaks to God and directs his children.
I am thankful for the perfection of the Gospel and yet also thankful for the imperfections of the millions of members of the church. With each one striving, like I am, to live better lives each day and become more like our Savior.
