Savannah's camping Birthday

Our little friend Savannah had a camping birthday party up in Helen in the mountains. It was so much fun! Lots of kids:)

Here's the cute birthday girl! She turned two:)

The girls loved those little caterpillars!

These girls can be so silly sometimes!

I went for a run, and was about a mile or two out, running really fast down the steep hill when I tripped on my shoelace and ate it hard! It was extremely painful, I couldn't even get up, I had to roll off the road into the grass. I had no idea how I was going to get back to the campsite. It was excruciating pain for about 20 seconds, then my fight or flight response kicked in and it got pretty numb. I hobbled back to the campsite. You cant tell how bad it is in these pictures, but I still have a significant scar on my shoulder and my knee doesn't hurt anymore, but my knee cap is all lumpy and misshapen now. It sucked.

This girl loves her chips!

Not pictured, tubing down the river, checking out the awesome town of Helen, intense games of mafia by the fire, getting rained out the last night and day... a good time had by all:)

Our Testimony

Jeff and I are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and we wanted to share how grateful we are for that blessing. We believe the Book of Mormon and the Bible are the word of God and we learn so much as we read from them. We know that families can be together forever, even after death, if we choose to make that covenant with God in his holy temple. We believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and was led by God to restore the truth on the earth. He went through so much persecution and dedicated his life so that we could have the Gospel of Christ today. We also believe President Monson to be our prophet today, we believe he communicates with God and leads us to live good lives so we can return to live with our father in heaven once again. The more we pray, read the scriptures, and learn about the gospel, the more we feel the holy spirit in our lives. As we do these things we can see our lives and our marriage being blessed and our happiness increased. We know we have made so many mistakes in each of our lives respectively and we are so amazed that our savior Jesus Christ can help us to be forgiven for those things. We love the joy and happiness that the gospel of christ brings us everyday. Jeff even dedicated two years of his life to sharing that truth because he believes in it so much and wanted to bring other people that happiness. I am so thankful that he made that sacrifice because I can see the blessings that came from it. We are not posting this to try to force our views on anyone, we just wanted to let everyone know how thankful we are for the Lord's blessings and for his guidance in our lives. We have also been so blessed with amazing family and friends to give us support and love along our way. Thank you being there for us and thank you for letting us share our love of Christ and our testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
