Another little bit of gratitude!!

Wow, I was just catching up on my blog reading and came across NieNie. I found her one day on my friend Emily's blog and haven't been able to stop checking in. Her story has been so amazing. I just don't know what I would do if I were in a similiar situation. Would I be able to find the humorous side of it all or would I be a "wallower". Anyway, her post that hit me pretty good this week was on motherhood and the fact that her little boy didn't "want" her. She then went on to talk about how one night she went to check on him when he was upset and that unlocked the door. He let her hold him and snuggle. The other thing that got me this week was hearing of the accident in Montana. The small airplane crash that killed 3 families. I was thinking of the grandpa that had planned the trip and was looking forward to such a fun week of laughs, fun and giggles. What must be going through his mind as he was walking through the crash site....knowing that his 2 daughters, 2 son-in-laws, and 5 grandchildren were all there. 3 of the 5 were my Zoe, Emma and Seth's ages. I can't imagine my life without them! Then to read NieNie....I long for those wonderful little snuggles, their 400+ giggles a day, their little chocolate smiles, you get the picture!! Just grateful that I have such an amazing and beautiful family!

Thank you Heavenly Father!!!

Sooo......

Well, there's no reason to beat around the bush. Some of you already know but our "little" family is going to get a little bigger. We found out last week that we are expecting the last little Price. We knew when we decided to have Seth that we were going to have one more and this time it just took a little longer. Baby Price will make an appearance just before Halloween, Oct 23rd. We are getting excited and for the moment feeling good. We'll see how long that lasts. Can I just tell you how glad I am it is not going to be in November or December. LOL.

I just have to say, I thank Thee O God for a Prophet!!! For years I have sat back in silent admiration for our dear, loving prophet. I have been inspired and humbled by many of his wonderful teachings. I know that I'm not really supposed to share many of my work experiences but I couldn't help share a wonderful, humorous side of our prophet. Monday night I took a call from Pres Monson, he was looking for one of his secretaries who happened to not be available. He said that he would try again later and that maybe he would take a drive. He joked and even mentioned taking a walk on the boardwalk. I don't know how it happened but all of a sudden he and I were talking about Monopoly and he was quizzing me on the different names on the Monopoly board. I have to admit I must be a lousy Monopoly player, I could only remember a few of the properties. I even cheated a little and tried to google the Monopoly board for help. Pres Monson just laughed and said he's played longer th

My lil' Seth....not so little

Every year I take the little kids to get their birthday pictures done in November and December. Since I wanted to get a new family picture with everyone I decided to wait. My sister Kris and her daughter Dawn are here visiting from Ohio and Dawn wanted to get a few pictures taken of her little boy AJ who is 5 months old. I told her about Kiddie Kandids and thought hey, I should get Seth's done since I don't have a single pic of him on my "kid" shelf other than when he turned 1. Emma was bummed that we didn't get her pic taken but I promised her we would go soon. I'm also looking forward to doing Adam's senior pics for next year as well as Josh's mission (keep your fingers crossed) pics in the next month or two. Anyway, here are the ones of my "not" so lil' guy who is now 2 1/2.....I love how they turned out.
