"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Pictures for your viewing pleasure

This is Grace in her tutu. It was supposed to be for Christmas but then we didn't have a costume for Halloween so Voila, happy halloween! Grant and TD had semi matching shirts on the other day and Grace insisted I take a picture. TD has become quite the daddy's boy lately!

And this is a fly. :) Grace killed it all by herself with the fly swatter. She amazes me sometimes


And early Merry Christmas to you all!
