Today was such a beautiful day. I love the weather when it hints of Spring. We actually put our running shoes on and went for a jog this afternoon. It wasn't extremely far, but we did it. Next time Wyatt rides in the stroller with Hannah. (bike + Wyatt + jogging = very slow) Here's to our 1st 5K this year in May and hopefully more this summer!
Also, little Hannah Nannah said her 1st real word (besides mamamamama) it is.... ought oh!!! We love it. When she drops something or gets into things we say ought oh and she repeats it. So cute :)

Testimony almost
Today was Fast and Testimony meeting. I kept thinking all week how it had been such a long time since I had gotten up to bear my testimony in Sarcrament Meeting. I always use the excuse that I can't leave 4 kiddos on a bench alone and that since Colby always gets to bear his testimony that is sufficient for our family. While I was sitting listening to others bear their testimonies, I thought that maybe today was my day. Then, a sweet brother behind me said that he would hold my baby for me if I wanted to get up and bear my testimony. I thought hey this definintely means that it is my turn. Well when I was just getting the courage to do it, Hannah spit up all over both of us. By the time I got us both cleaned up there was 10 minutes left. I wasn't going to let it get me out of it. But, there was never a break between testimonies and the line of those who were getting up to bear theirs. So, I didn't make it. I have no shame or embarrassment to post my testimony for all to read it... so here is what my testimony would have been today.
I know that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me! He knows me. He hears me when I pray to Him and He forgives me when I repent of my ever present mistakes. I loved that someone said today that He knows what we want in life, but He also knows what we need. I needed to hear that today! For, sometimes life takes turns that we don't want it to take, but it is just what we need.
I know that Jesus is my Savior. He is who made it possible to be with my family FOREVER! I know that we belong to His true church here on this earth,
I know the Book of Mormon is true. It is so fun to read together as a family. I love seeing a 7 year old read ahead to see how the story ends so that he doesn't have to wait until tomorrow.
I am so very blessed, and I know that it is all from my Heavenly Father that loves me!

To all my sisters...
Today in RS our lesson was on being unified as sisters in Relief Society. It made me realize just how blessed I am to have such amazing sisters in my life. I have 2 of the bestest blood sisters ever. Our relationships haven't always been perfect, but they are solid. I have 6 amazing sister-in-laws on this planet. I couldn't have hand picked a better bunch. I have so many amazing friends that surround me. Some have moved away, but are never forgotten and continue to be examples to me. All I have to say is... Thank You! Thank you for loving me, laughing with me, crying with me, falling with me, for picking me up, and for accepting me for who I am.
