100% for 100 days!

So I have in invitation for everyone. Our stake is doing something called 100% for 100 days. We strive to do everything we are supposed to be doing for 100 days. Here is the list:

Daily: individual and family scripture study, individual and family prayer, and acts of love and compassion to spouse

Weekly: FHE, date night, sabbath day observance, and magnifying your calling

Monthly: Fast and Pay Tithes and Offering, temple attendance, and visiting and home teaching

Our stake presidency said they aren't trying to do this to show "numbers" or get us in the Ensign :) but they said if we do this, we will receive many blessings and have so much joy in our lives. If you are interested, I invite you to join Tyler and I. It actually started today (Thursday) so if you want to start tomorrow, I think a freebee day is ok since I just told you about it. (Sorry I really wanted to post this earlier but time got away from me)

The cool thing is that this ends on Christmas... what a neat gift to give to our Savior! We could all share our experiences when we're together for Christmas. Let me know what you think and let me know if you'll do it so Tyler and I know who our teammates are :)

I love you guys so much and miss you even more!!! Hugs and kisses to everyone!

First Stitches!

Here are a few pictures of Clayton's "adventure's" yesterday! After a great day at the zoo...we left with the following souvenir. We couldn't believe what a brave boy her was! At the Dr's, he told all the nurses when he walked in..."It doesn't hurt-I'm all better!" He didn't move a MUSCLE as Dr. Lee stitched him up (with only topical numbing I might add). As he was stitching him, Clayton just quietly said, "Owie, that hurts" as tears streamed down his face. When he was done, he jumped down and hopped-skipped-jumped-ran down the hallway giving the nurses and Dr. high fives! Off to Sonics we a-wented for a fruit slushy and dinner.


On the "operating table"...honestly-he practically smiled through the whole thing!




after a long day...ahhh!

Happy Birthday Rudy !!!
