A thought from Denise!

Okay! I got another one! I heard this one quite awhile ago and it just kind of stuck!

"If "ACTIONS" speak louder than "WORDS", and love is a verb, which means it requires "ACTION", How loud are you speaking to those around you?"

A thought from Denise!

I thought I would share so you could all know it actually happens!!

So for the last year or so I have been collecting all kinds of different quotes. I write them on receipts, church bulletins, candy wrappers, etc and thought that this might be a good way to write them down and to share since alot of times they are things that I find helpful in some way. I promise it won't be as deep as "if you are walking and look up it looks like the clouds aren't moving!" That would be my own thought and these are obviously other people's! So hopefully this isn't annoying and it maybe helps your day or gives you something else to think about! I'll try to put one on once a week or so!

"SADNESS, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND SEVERE CHALLENGE ARE EVENTS IN LIFE, NOT LIFE ITSELF."

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE !!!!!

Hey Family!!
We just wanted to say "We Hope You Had a HAPPY EASTER and We Love All of You!!"
We really have felt the spirit of the season. Not only did we attend our regular church meetings, but we also were able to participate in an Easter Cantata in other stakes. It was wonderful and it helped us appreciate Christ's gift of the Atonement even more!! We hope all of you got to feel of the spirit and were able to appreciate the true meaning of the season.
Love Ya Lots!
The Lord's Family

GG would be so proud!

For Zack's birthday this year we did a Nickelcade party. You wouldn't believe how fast these kids can blow through 300 nickels each. Let me just say I was shocked to hear them begging for "mo money" after 20 minutes. Zack and Tylar are unquestionably the great grand kids of GG. As I sat there and watched them pump nickel after nickel into a machine which bore a striking resemblance to a nickel slot in Vegas, I thought...GG would be proud, the gambling gene has been passed on :) We had a great afternoon. I am sure the best part for the kids was counting up the tickets and redeeming them for the cheap prizes behind the counter. While the kids had fun, it was a little sad for me to realize that my little boy is now a big 10 year old, it’s amazing how fast time goes.

Helloooooo Cancun!! We couldn't wait to hit the beach! The weather was perfect.........NO SNOW! The first picture was taken at our resort on our way to the beach! We couldn't get over the color of the water! It was beautiful! Lance spent alot of time body surfing! I body surfed until I got worked over by the waves! I can still taste salt!

The second picture is from Chichen Itza......our favorite part of the whole week! We went on a tour with a guide who was a member of the church and native of that area. The group we were with were all members also and our guide (Helaman, and that was his real name!) taught us alot about how these ruins related to the Book of Mormon and alot of the history of this area. Our testimonies of the Book of Mormon were definatley strengthened.

After our day at Chichen Itza our guide took us to a Cenote .....which is basically a cave with water in the bottom of it. The third picture is Lance jumping off the cliff into the Cenote. The water was cool but not cold and much welcomed since the day was so hot and we were all suffering from a little heat stroke! I jumped too and it was scary!! Ethan asked me how high it was and I told him I thought it was 50 feet but Lance said it was only 15 feet! It doesn't look like that when you are looking down!! There were little fish in it to that would swim around your feet and tickle your toes!

It was a great week! We already miss the sun!
