We had a wonderful New Year and I hope you all did as well! It was the first time in a long time that my whole family was able to just get together and hang out. Not all of us was able to be around for Christmas. We had some fun activities:
During the time we got to spend with our family, someone asked Kenzi what her goals were for the next year. I was interested to hear what she would say because we hadn't talked about any thing like that. She thought about it for a while and then replied: "I'm going to read through the Book of Mormon." "Oh thats a good goal," says Uncle Chad. "Yeah, I've already started." She said. What more can we ask then that our children 'walk in faith'.
I was reading an incredible talk by Pres. Uchtdorf. I liked his thought:
"You have agency, and you are free to choose. But there is actually no free agency. Agency has its price. You have to pay the consequences of you choices."

Amy,
Thanks for inviting us up for the New Years get together. It was so fun to have all my children and grandchildren together this past couple of days. I thank God every day for my children, their spouses, and their children. I have been very blessed. Yes, God has been good to me. I am so proud that each of my children love the Lord and are living in a way that is pleasing unto him. I love all of my children and their families and am very proud of each one of them. Love, MOM
That was so much fun, I am still munching on the honey candy. I might have to try to make some myself. It was great to see everyone and spend some good time together.
Oh now that just looks like lots of fun! Wish we would have been around to come crash the party! I was glad we went to the family reunion though! We wish you all a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you soon!
Amy,
I love the quote by Pres. Uchtdorf on agency. It is so true. SO TRUE!! This is one thing that we really need to stress to our children. Free agency really isn't free. We must pay the consequences of our actions. And sometimes the payment is very high.
