We have refused to permit grudges to separate us, even in spirit. We were deeply in love when we married, were physical in our love and found pleasure in this aspect of our marriage, and still appreciate being close, touching, and taking time together. He puts me first in all situations. I still get breathless when he holds me close, look forward to his return, and find peace in his presence.'</span>

A few months ago a new park was built close by...It really is the COOLEST park ever built! They call it 'Neptune Park' and it is part of Saratoga Springs City and its about 2 miles from our house.</div>

The best thing at Neptune Park is this amazing pyramid rope coarse, Les climbed it one day...it took him several minutes. I was only able to get half way before I was too scared I wasn't going to be able to get down.</div>

Brandon can climb to the very top in about 30 seconds I'm not sure how tall it is, but I would guess it's about 40 feet to the top (?) Apparently it is the only structure of it's kind in the Western Hemisphere.</div>

There are some really great equipment at Neptune Park, there is something for toddlers to adults...swings, slides, jungle gyms etc. There is even a pretty amazing basketball court, that has goals for all sizes from little guys (about 7ft) to Pro size (10ft) the Basketball courts were built through a donations by the Utah Jazz so it makes sense that at the 'Grand Opening' and ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday that the Jazz was a part of the celebration!</div>

They were handing out a Jazz magazine that has information about each player and the team history. The Jazz also sent one of the players Josh Howard #8, Brandon was especially excited to get to meet him and get his autograph on his page in the book....Brandon has set a goal to get each of the players autographs in that book and when he grows up he wants to play for the Utah Jazz!!</div>

I thought that YW's was the only place for me, but I was wrong! I love being in Primary!! Those sweet little (sometimes loud) voices singing and learning about the Gospel is really humbling. They don't care that I have ZERO musical talent, or that I am a BIG DORK who is overly excited about being with them, they (most of them) love singing time! This past Sunday I chose for the Senior Primary kids to sing <a href="http://broadcast.lds.org/churchmusic/Primary/PR_ScripturePower_eng.mp3" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Scripture Power</span></a>, they sing this song with so much enthusiasm, for some reason the spirit hit so hard and I couldn't even sing with them cause I was balling like a baby, haha!<br />
Plus, I get to be a crafty:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These darling little buckets were so fun yet tedious to make, good thing I have a Cricut that did all the cutting for me :-) and the buckets are double sided (the center divider is floral foam). You see our Primary is HUGE, so it's hard to know all the kids names and be able to remember who has helped and who has not, so on each on of the CTR sticks is a child's name, and when I (or anyone else in Primary) needs a helper we can just pick one of the CTR shields and that is our helper. Once we have used the CTR shield it get placed in the back of the bucket and the back is full we will turn it around and start all over. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">OH!!! I forgot to mention that the Primary theme for 2012 is Choose The Right (CTR) I love this theme, it is so basic and simple, but, SO important. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Brandon is 8 and in 3rd grade! I cannot believe it, he has grown up way too fast! He LOVES 3rd grade, his teacher is Mrs. Rogers and he has a lot of friends already. There has been a new school built and we are zoned for it, it's called Thunder Ridge Elementary and they are the Raptors. Brando has been excited all summer for it to be finished so he can go there!</div>

<br />
We have been so busy....<br />
<br />
I have been going full speed in school, and doing well, getting almost straight A's on all my tests....Now don't fall over or anything, I know this may shock some of you, but I LOVE SCHOOL!! It could have something to do with the fact that it's FUN,and I totally get everything that I am learning SO fast. At school we have a student council called the 'Student Unity Council' that changes every 3 months and this week we had re-election and I was elected to be the President or 'Student Unity Director' there are two other people on the council with me and one of our Instructors is the advisor over the council. Thank goodness they are all three amazing women, who I already love, so it should be a good experience.<br />
<br />
Brandon had his first Basketball camp a couple of weeks ago and he was in heaven for the entire week. He was moved from the 'little' goal, to the 'big' one after the first day. What does this mean you ask? He was too big and too good at shooting to play on the 8 foot goal with the kids his age, so he was moved to the 10 foot goal with older kids and he actually kept up with them and won games all week long. I could not be prouder of him or have a prouder husband.<br />
<br />
Carson is enrolled in these wonderful day camps that are organized and taught by his preschool teacher Miss Alisha (or as Carson says 'Muh-Lisha') They are in two week increments for two days a week. The first one was cooking, the one he is in now is a science theme, the next one has an arts and crafts theme and the last one will be a 'Fit Kids' one. He is LOVING them. He already loves and adores 'Muh-Lisha' so it was a no brainer for us.<br />
<br />
Les is just working, working, working his fingers to the bone to supports us in all we do. He is anxiously awaiting deer, duck, and elk hunting seasons.<br />
<br />
This all brings me to the purpose of the title of my blog 'FREEDOM'....We have so many freedoms in this country that go unrecognized everyday, I just wanted to say that I am so grateful to have the freedom to belong to the religion I choose and to raise my family the way I want. There are just not the right words to say how amazing it is to live HERE at THIS TIME to enjoy so many FREEDOMS. I come from a very faithful and patriotic heritage, both of my Grandpa's were Air Force men and fought in the Korean war, I am grateful to them for fighting for our freedom. I live in an area that is close to TWO military bases and I see service men and women all the time, there are members of my ward and husbands of my friends who serve our country, one of my best friends has an 18 yr old son in the Air Force. I am humbled by the service of these men and women for doing their duty to protect my family and my freedoms.....THANK YOU! I cannot express enough gratitude for your sacrifice and the sacrifice your families make everyday!<br />
<br />
GOD BLESS AMERICA<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This day has been VERY anticipated by Brandon, he has been counting the days and making preparations to be ready. He has been SO excited, when we asked him why, his response was: 'Well after I'm baptized then I will FINALLY get the holy ghost.' Of course this made me a proud momma, but Brandon has always been very accepting of the teachings of the Gospel and has wanted to be baptized for a few years now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> He was baptized by his Daddy:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9Npfs8U0qAk/TPwMXyvfhII/AAAAAAAAAnM/Co0yFACQ82g/s1600/Brandon%2527s+Baptism+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9Npfs8U0qAk/TPwMXyvfhII/AAAAAAAAAnM/Co0yFACQ82g/s400/Brandon%2527s+Baptism+004.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Les and Brandon in their white</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9Npfs8U0qAk/TPwMft2E99I/AAAAAAAAAnU/NqWxaFXcL0o/s1600/Brandon%2527s+Baptism+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9Npfs8U0qAk/TPwMft2E99I/AAAAAAAAAnU/NqWxaFXcL0o/s400/Brandon%2527s+Baptism+002.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">My personal favorite from this day :-)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Brandon is such a good big brother, he teaches Carson all the time.

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am in awe of what our family has become. It seems like just yesterday that Leslie and I were married, but at the same time it feels like we have ALWAYS been a family, it is hard for me to remember a time when I didn't know him or have these two wonderful boys in my life. I know that <a href="http://www.lds.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">Heavenly Father's plan of Eternal families</span></a> is the most important thing ever given to man, and I count myself blessed by that every day of my life. Yesterday was one of those days that the feelings of gratitude could barely be contained, and I have been more emotional than usual all weekend. I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I love my family and my Savior more than words can express. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was the perfect start to our Christmas season!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I know there are some of you out there, saying 'What the heck? Again?!?' YES, my friends, again!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am going to a school called <a href="http://www.echelonedgeacademy.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;">Echelon Edge, Academy of Hair, Skin and Nails</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;">. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;"></span>YES, I am going back to beauty school....now, before ya'll say 'THAT'S CRAZY' hear me out. I DID go to school to do nails when I was 20 (14 years ago aaaahhhhh) and I have always felt like I did it 'wrong' the first time around, and as with most things in my life, I learn the hard way. So in my search to find a passion for something I kept coming back to this. So I did it! I enrolled in the Cosmetology program at Echelon Edge Academy after a THOROUGH search of about 7 different schools. I am SO excited to do it right this time. After I'm done with the Cosmetology program (which take 12 months) I will be enrolling into the 'Medical Esthetics' program (an additional 4 moths). So.....I will be needing people to volunteer to be models for ALL kinds of things, from getting nails done, to getting your hair cut and/or colored, from a simple facial to laser hair removal.<br />
I am blessed to have a VERY supportive husband. I also have in-laws (who live with us) willing to watch my kids full time for the next 16months, I wouldn't be able to do it with out them.</div>Channihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11474777582966833934noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150932277256939428.post-61510980367004325682010-10-05T19:58:00.002-06:002010-10-05T21:27:13.938-06:00WELL FED....<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This last weekend was the 180th Semi-annual General Conference of</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><a href="http://www.lds.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">.</span> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What a great weekend!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Monday after conference there was a news report here in Utah that the gay and lesbian rights group was demanding President Packer 'correct' his statements made in conference. Saying that "</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the church has spewed lies related to same-sex orientation." <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">and this group is planning a protest at Temple Square for tomorrow! </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was APPALLED!!! This is an apostle of the Lord, not to mention the leader of a faith. His words are TRUE, and they were kind and loving and he spoke of the Savior and repentance and the Atonement. When I listened to the talk during conference, nothing that President Packer said sounded out of place or harsh in any way, after all he DID end with a loving blessing to those who are struggling with MANY immoral sins, not just 'same-sex orientation'. Here is the statement the church released today:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I came away from conference more spiritually fed than I have been in a long time! I am more steadfast in my Faith than ever before. This recent 'demand for correction' makes me more aware than ever of the adversary's grip on the world and that I need to be more diligent in teaching my children how to arm themselves against him, and that I need to better arm myself against him also. I am so blessed to have a marriage and family I can find comfort and refuge in. I love the Gospel and it's message, more important, I know it to be true! I also love the leaders of Christ's church here on the earth, that they are unafraid to relay Heavenly Fathers messages to us in such a simple and plain way. All we need to do is 'come unto Him' and we can all be this WELL FED!</span><br />

I realize it's bee too long since I've blogged, well, sorry ;-) life has been a little crazy since my last post. I went to girls camp, which was something that consumed my life for months before hand, but was WELL worth all the long meetings and hard decisions. Then as soon as that was over, we closed on our new house (pictures to come soon) and moved, I still feel like we are moving in, it has been a year and half since we moved to Utah and we now are officially PERMANENT!!!<br />
<br />
So the reason for my blog.....I took the boys to Thanksgiving Point with one of my friends and her two girls. We went to the farm they have there, they had such a blast<br />
