The Divine Gift of Gratitude

So many of us had the privilege of hearing this talk given by President Monson during General Conference in October, "The Divine Gift of Gratitude". Today, we had a few talks in Sacrament reference it again as well as the main lesson in Relief Society. I think it is a lesson I could hear many times and learn something each time.

One of the things in my life I'm very grateful for is my wonderful husband Scott. He is the perfect husband for me and I'm happy we are together! I love this picture below because of how Scott is holding my hands. I didn't tell him to do that or even notice it until I saw the picture but it means something to me that can't really be expressed well in words.

I'm grateful for a captured moment!

Family Photos

We went to Garden of the Gods to take our family Christmas photos. The weather was awesome and we had a great time. Our area had a lot of morning fog and we were worried the Garden would be the same way but as you can see nice sun shine with only a little wind. Pretty great for a mid-November day!

BeautiControl Eye Recovery Treatment

THE BEFORE PICTURE -


I know Scary! But I really wanted to see how well the products worked for me. And the best way to see this is to take before and after pictures.

THE AFTER PICTURE


Can you tell I just had "Another" birthday ;-) but I love this treatment and the results. This is the second time I've done it. The first time I didn't take pictures but noticed a difference. I took the pictures this time and WOW, was I surprised how well the treatment works. Or maybe I was really more surprised how bad the before was - yikes!


Above are the products I used and below is the "Recipe" for the results.


Let me know if you're interested in learning more about the products. They are all on sales this month and I plan on stocking up! Now if I could only find something like this for my body "Wrinkles"!

I'm putting in an order November 30th and if you're in the Colorado Springs area, we're featuring this treatment at our December 2nd spa night - come try them all out and see your results.

A Visit to the Zoo

We have a great zoo here in the Springs - The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It is up on the local mountain and just a great spot to walk around and enjoy not only all the zoo animals but the view.


Our friend Beth runs the pony rides and makes Ava feel very special. It is always one of the main highlights of our visit.


Ava is riding Amigo and Beth lets Ava feed him carrots after her ride. Ava loves it and has already started asking when she can have a horse.

A Fun New Hairstyle From Heather

We have a great babysitter - Heather. She does such fun stuff with the girls and they love having her over. Heather is really good with hair and enjoys trying different styles on both the girls. On this day, she put Ava's hair up in two twisted ponies. Of course, Ava had to do multiple outfit changes to fit the occasion!

Halloween 2010

This year we lucked out again with the weather. A wonderful night for trick or treating and no snow on the ground.


Ameya was a Vampire Queen this year. Last year she was a witch and Scott did a bunch of crazy make-up on her. So this year, I said no crazy make-up. I wanted to see more of her cute face. We settled for crazy hair.


Ava was a fairy princess with wings for our church Halloween party but for Halloween, she was a She-devil. How true this is in real life.
