Pictures from the zoo, and dance, and cool hairdo, and Dallin's tent
Warning: this post has a lot of pictures in it. I have been trying to take more pictures lately, and with kids as cute as mine how could I not just post a bunch of them, they are all in the wrong order, sorry, I have some issues with the user-friendliness of Blogger but instead of spending more time getting them in the right order, I 'm just going to leave them and hope it doesn't cause too much suffering.
Adriana at the fountain in front of the Hogle Zoo.
Ariel (in black) at her last dance class of the season. I don't know who the other girl is and hope her parents don't mind her picture being published on my blog.
Beautiful Annika
And her beautiful hairdo. She actually sits still and lets me relive my sixth grade sleepover hair creations.
Dallin and the tent he got for his birthday. Notice the new carpet, not that shocking blue anymore.
Annika peeking out of said tent. It is like a garage and I found it on the clearance isle at ToysRUs (my favorite birthday party gift finding place) I bought it months ago for like $2.88 or something and didn't realize how huge it was until Dallin's birthday. He loves running in and out of it playing peek-a-boo and even figured out how to enter through the window.
Adriana posing at dance class. i can't believe how big she is getting.
One of the very rare smiles caught on camera from Dallin. He smiles all day long, but usually looks down when I am ready to shoot. This time I actually tickled him to get a good smile at the camera.
My long lost friend Andrea and I took our kids to the zoo and this was the best picture I got of the whole crew.
Another rare smile.

Favorite Quotes
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
-Antoine de Saint-ExuperyWe need always to ask what we are doing to our spirit. Is the divine within us being nurtured, or do our actions prevent the Spirit from becoming the predominant force in our lives?
-Kathleen H. Hughes

Verse of the Day
Feb 17, 2011 Moses 6:32 And the Lord said unto Enoch: Go forth and do as I have commanded thee, and no man shall pierce thee. Open thy mouth, and it shall be filled, and I will give thee utterance, for all flesh is in my hands, and I will do as seemeth me good.
33 Say unto this people: Choose ye this day, to serve the Lord God who made you.
34 Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me.
My thoughts: If God could give Enoch power to teach the people He also gives me power to teach my children, I need to remember to rely on that.

Matthew 14
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Helaman 3:21 ...And they began to grow up unto the Lord.
About Me
- Heather
- I am a mother of 5 children under the age of 9. I graduated from BYU with a Linguistics major and Russian and TESL minors. I went to grad school there to get my TESOL certificate and taught English as a second language for a few years until I transitioned to being a full-time mom. My family and I recently moved to Pennsylvania from Utah and we are getting used to living in this new place. My husband is from Ukraine and is enjoying his career designing spinal implants and other medical devices. I really enjoy blogging because it helps me stay in touch with family and friends and is a nice outlet for me to express myself, and reflect on my children's development. I really appreciate and welcome comments to my blog.

Questions that I am looking for answers to
How can I remember to see the best in people and give them the benefit of the doubt, in the moment that I am upset with them? Maybe a better question is how do I stop from getting upset so easily, but also not being apathetic?
How do I become one of those people who is calm and content, and knows just what to say to help others?

Come on, everybody's doing it

Ariel's hands look beautiful at dance (and it looks like she isn't even trying, nice posture!). Cute pictures. Dallin has a great smile. I can't believe how long Annika's hair is. I love when you post pictures.
How fun! The tent was such a good idea. Looks like they love it. And I just realized I think I spelled Adriana's name with two N's when I messaged you on facebook. I don't know why I have such a hard time with remembering that!
