Moseby and Marriage Rant

We took Moseby with us to visit Grandma and Grandpa's house this past Sunday. He wore himself out having so much fun! He really loved the playhouse~

Moseby seemed to be partial to this lovely spot in the ground cover under a tree.

It is so hard these days to get a serious picture from my two big boys, so I am left with this. Cute anyway!

Having a little rest at the bottom of the steps.

Mother knitting. Aren't I a cliche from the past?

Always wants a picture taken. He even stands in front of us yelling "say cheese" and smiling!

Nick is still actually a little scared of Moseby . He wanted to have a picture taken with him and Daddy, but he kinda hid behind with this uncomfortable look on his face. Classic!

James is so happy to finally have his first dog. You should see him with Moseby. Absolutely doting! I am so thrilled to see him so content!

I love this sleepy little baby!

Cameron was posing for this one. He had just finished saying "cheese!" and then waited for me to shoot. I love it! Life is so busy and full of a million distractions. I love Sundays! I am so thankful to have a day where I can relax and see my family. I don't have to worry about anything but us. It is a wonderful blessing if we take advantage if it! I do however have a stressful Sunday coming up. I have to speak in Sacrament Meeting with James, Walker and Morgan. I have had many weeks to prepare and I still am not anywhere near finishing my preparation. Hopefully I can find time this weekend with Conference.

I am so very grateful to my amazing husband for being a very willing partner in raising our seven babies. I could never do it alone, nor would I want to. I am looking all around me at many of our friends who have decided to call it quits and go it alone. It is almost an epidemic. Everywhere you look, couples are giving up and Satan is winning. The children are losing, the family is forever broken. I find my mind constantly over burdened with sadness at this. It helps me be ever more determined to take care of my marriage above all else so I don't find myself in that situation. I know they all probably thought that they would never find themselves in that place, but none of us are exempt from trials. We have to "bother" to work at our relationships. When you are lucky enough to have found a good man, you do not take it for granted and you do not think yourself above faults. We have to "bother".
