We are obviously grateful for ice cream at our house. . .
maybe slightly more important, I am grateful for the opportunity to repent and change my wicked ways. To try and be better today than I was yesterday even if only in small measure. I am so grateful that our Savior always gives us the benefit of the doubt--especially when we feel we don't deserve it. It is depressing to think that I'll never get it 100% right in this life, but that the Savior will forgive me 100% of the time if I sincerely ask for a do-over and try again.
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."
-Mary Anne Radmacher
I'm grateful for courage today--even when I feel like the cowardly lion.

Can I just tell ya how much I love that last picture?! Oh my heck that kid makes me laugh!
Every week as I sit in sacrament meeting and reflect on the week previous, it frustrates me. I feel like I am not progressing, even though I feel like I am trying. It's those darn slip ups! But then, I make the promise to try harder and renew my conviction to do better. And then I feel peace, as though Heavenly Father is accepting my efforts to try a little harder to be a little better.
First - the pictures. Hilarious! That bottom left corner - you can just see the little devil in him! How cute!
Second - I love that quote. I don't think I've heard it before but it is just beautiful and so very true.
Sooo, in the last picture is Coltie all done with his ice cream and looking for a lick of yours?
He would make his great grandpa Kent proud since he always has to have a large bowl of ice cream.
I'm glad you took the time for the pictures. It totally made my day!!!
Love you guys!!
I don't know what I would do without ice cream. I don't think I would make it in this world. In my mansion in heaven, we are going to have ice cream everyday-and there will be NO WEIGHT GAIN!
