Brett Can Make His Bed!

It's fascinating how quickly Brett learns how to do something. I showed him how to make his bed, and the next morning he jumped out of bed and made it all my his little self, and then came to show me how smart he was.

Here he is sitting on his "made by Brett" bed saying "ta-daaa"

now he's saying "oh ya, I'm awesome!" I hear these words about 20 times a day. His confidence is amazing!!

I am thankful for Forgivness!~Maddy

I am so thankful that even If I make a horrible sin Heavenly Father will still forgive me!!! What would life be like If every time we did a sin and we wanted to forgive, but we couldn't. I would be in so much trouble at the judgment seat If Heavenly Father held me accountable for every little sin I have done! God promises us that every time we deeply forgive of our sins, He will forgive and COMPLETELY forget! I am so grateful for this wonderful gift, and I will never take it for granted.

I am thankful for Temples! ~Maddy

Temples are such an amazing thing, for me they are just more proof that god lives and protects us, and wants us to live back with him in Heaven! It says that Temples are a tiny-tiny glimpse of what Heaven will be like. Whenever I see a picture of the temple I feel so relieved and comforted, and at that very moment I feel no need to think about the world around me, I just think about my goal and where I am headed to. I love temples, through the temple I can baptise family members that never got the chance to when they lived on this earth,   that is a true gift, because I am doing exactly what God wants us to do; serve others!!! I know someday I will be able to go into all of the different parts of the temple and see the wonderful house of god, I cant wait!!!:)

I am thankful to be a Mormon!!! ~Maddy

I know this may seem pretty obvious, but i truly am thankful to be a Mormon! I am lucky enough to come into a family that supports, and teaches me everything I need to know about the church. Without the church I really don't know how I could live, In the hardest times in life It Is the most amazing feeling to know that someone has gone through so much pain and suffering, even more than we can imagine, it makes me feel good when I know that he knows what we are feeling, and that even if we are feeling lonely, God is ALWAYS there for us, and loves us no matter what!

Thankful for support, friends and service by Taylor

I'm very thankful for my family, friends, and service. I'm thankful for my family because they give me so much support. About 2 weeks ago the second term for school was ending and I was freaking out because my grades weren't the best. I had worked really hard in all my classes but my grades weren't turning out so great. On the last 2 weeks I worked so hard but my parents were the ones who really helped me the most. They were able to wake up early and take me to school to take tests, or pick me up after school when I was finishing something up. My grades turned out a lot better than what they would have been but I wouldn't of gotten my grades up if it weren't for the help of my wonderful parents, and there support to my brother's, sister's and I.

I am very thankful for my friends because they are very kind and are always there for me. Some kids don't have great friends and I feel really bad for them because my friends are so kind to everyone and they like a lot of the things that I like. My friends that are surrounding in my life are the people who like me for who I am. They build me up, like the things I like, are giving, and work hard to be the best they can be.

The last thing that I'm thankful for is service, because service is a way to show your kindness and gratitude for others or when it's something that helps you. I love giving service because I love seeing the face of the person I've served. I love it when I'm able to help the needy or just do something nice for my family. Service is so great because it comes with being kind, outgoing and being a leader.

I am thankful for all these wonderful things and I know I'll love these things for the rest of my life.

I am thankful for a house to live in~Maddy

Every day coming home to a warm, safe house makes me so happy! Even though I may not talk about it very much, I truly am thankful for it! After years of being in church and school I learn so many dreadful stories of people that die from freezing weather and not having a roof over their heads, there are so much more stories that make me appreciate the home, time and area that I live in!! Thank you mom and dad for giving me such a wonderful home!!;)
