WOW....

Wow is about all I can say about this beautiful girl. Laney was not feeling well and so Brant and I gave her some medicine right before bed. About three hours or so later I hear Laney yelling for me to come here, so I go running in her room she is just sobbing. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that the room felt like it was getting bigger and she was getting smaller. So I asked her if she had said a prayer and that she needed to calm down. She told me that she did say a prayer but that she felt like her heavenly father wasn't with her. I was a little taken back when she said that. I told her that her heavenly father is always with her, but she just insisted that he wasn't. So I asked her if she would like her dad to give her a priesthood blessing. She said yes. So Brant gave her a blessing and she calmed down and went to sleep. About 20 minutes later she starts yelling again. So I go back in there she tells me it is happeining again. I told her she needed to calm down and that her dad gave her a blessing and she would be fine. She told me I know and the blessing is helping so I told her if it happens again to sing a primary song. I kissed her goodnight and about 10mins later I hear her singing "I am a child of God" I cannot even describe the feeling I had when I heard her singing that song. We didn't hear from her for the rest of the night. The next day I was cooking dinner and she was sitting at the table talking about what had happened the night before. She was saying how she can't wait to see her heavenly father again with her whole family. She then asked me why there is so much sadness in the world, I told her that that is part of the plan and that we need to choose the right and stay close to the spirit. She said, "mom do you know that when you pray you have to be really quiet cause heavenly father doesn't talk very loud." I just stared at her in awe. She said yea you have to be really quiet or you can't hear him talk. I said Laney did you hear your heavenly father talk to you? She said yea I prayed to him last night and he told me that he would always be there for me. I was so taken back when she said that. I told her that that was right our heavenly father will always be with us. After we were done talking I felt like my testimony had just been strengthen by my six year old daughter. I am so grateful for little children and there strenghth and conviction in the gospel to help me and remind me that our Heavenly Father is there for us and that maybe I need to slow down and be quiet so I can hear my Heavenly Father speak to me.

I forgot the easter outfits...

I can't believe I forgot to post my favorite part of easter. New outfits. I loves this because I remember as a little girl my mom would make us girls new easter dresses and there are three girls so they would be the same dress only in three different colors. It was so fun to have matching dresses with my sisters. So as you can see I do the same thing with my girls. The boys get to have matching colors of ties and they looked way handsome too.

Maya's Birthday party

Maya had the best birthday. She has been talking about her birthday for months and she knew exactly what she wanted. Her favorite movie right now is "Tangled" and she can recite the whole dang movie its so funny. So we got her Flynn Ryder and Rupenzel and she loves them. She got a whole bunch of other stuff that she was so excited to get. Thanks everyone for coming and celebrating her birthday. It was kind of sad to think our baby turned three but it was really fun to see her blow out her own candles and have a great time.
