Jazz Games Etc.

I have been trying to download a few more pictures but it keeps telling me a bad message error. Anyways here is some of what we have been doing lately....

Dave and his friend took their kids to a Jazz game. They lucked out because it just happened to be the Jazz Bears birthday and so they got to see a bunch of the NBA Mascots.

This is Brendon, Candace, his daughter, Joey and David. They had fun!

I am trying to post some pictures of us Iceskating, but those are the ones that won't post. Oh well. Life is good and here a couple pictures at least. :)

Easter Meaning

I was just looking on the LDS.org website to plan a little more for my lesson tomorrow and I saw this. Wanted to share. Enjoy some LDS Youtube.

I was so thankful for this talk during conference. I found great insight and hope in these words.

Happy Easter,
Marilla and Family

So much has been happening...

Well hello to anyone who reads this. Noone has said anything about missing my blogs so maybe noone reads it. I just messed up the blog by trying to update the background and maybe I'll be able to figure it out, or maybe not.
Anyways I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the blessings in my life. There are so many little things that happen that I can not deny divine intervention. I know our Father in Heaven loves each of us, and am so thankful for that knowledge.

My camera has been broken, but I think I have figured out how to use Dave's so as soon as he gets some Easter pictures downloaded I'll post them with some more thoughts. Other than that I'll just stick to facebook.

Life is good! Busy, but good. I have been enjoying getting to know more people in my Social Work cohort at BYU. We have a great group to learn with and learn from. We have been working on some projects and I am getting ready for our closing social for the year. Finals are just around the corner, in fact I have two on Tuesday.

I loved Conference last weekend! It was so nice to have my mom here and my siblings, except the oldest, Joe. I ran in the Provo half marathon on Saturday morning. It was nice and snowy. Then we were able to go to Sunday Morning session of General Conference.
Love,
Marilla

Over the weekend

I wanted to change my blog cuz the last one is way outdated, plus it is a new month, March.

Over the weekend my cousin Adam was married in the Mesa temple. It was a nice weekend.

Since Dave's job is fairly new, he could not get work off.

And since I am practically non-existent with my family for the first three days of the week, I wanted to take my boys, but Dave did not want me to, cuz he misses us too much when we leave. We decided that a great compromise was I would take Joey and David could stay

with him. We felt that it was the best decision too because then each of us could have bonding time with one of the boys, something we feel is very important. It ended up being a nice weekend. (I don't think either of the boys got yelled at the whole weekend, what a relief!) The boys fight often when they are together, they are buddies, but fight they do!

Anyways, some thoughts that I have had over the weekend are that I Absolutely L O V E my family! Husband, Sons, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents, Mom, Brothers, and Sister(S). I say sisterS because I have more than one... My sister-in-law Tonya is amazing, she is delivering baby boy Thursday! And guess what... both of my other brothers are probably getting married, making all three of them married to older women, creating 3 big sisters for me. Actually I have more because of my hubbys sisters and sis-in-law on that side (AND I LOVE THEM), but I am just ecstatic for my brothers. I can't wait to get new family pictures when they actually tie the knot. We don't know when, and I am not saying it is for sure yet, they are not even engaged, they are both dating and really like the girls they are dating and the girls like them back!

We'll See. Our family is growing, the more the merrier! Life is good!

Mary Kay

It is that time of year again friends...

I am doing a Mary Kay cosmetics order before the end of the month.

In a week. If any of you need anything let me know ASAP.

Thanks,

Marilla

Well I do not know what is up, but once again I can't post pictures. So I'll tell you a "Kids say the darndest things"...

Saturday as I was hanging up the boys clothes David said "the first time you kiss there is a baby in your tummy"... I said "huh"? And he repeated himself.

I asked him about some friends of ours who kiss, but they are not having a baby, and he said "in marriage". So apparently after you are married the first time you kiss, that is how you get pregnant.

Learn something new everyday don't we? :)

Well I have been trying to update and post some pictures,

but for some reason I am not having success.

So, I just wanted to write and say how blessed we truly are each day.

I think about all that we have and all that we are and I know that I need to express gratitude and give thanks to a loving Heavenly Father.

I am so thankful for my family and friends.

I am so thankful for the gospel and the blessings that come from living the teachings

of the prophets.

Our little family is speaking in church today on that very principle,

obedience to the gospel plan. I

am grateful for all we have.

We have been trying to enjoy the cold weather by going ice skating, sledding and checking out the Utah Jazz.

We are loving Hot chocolates from Maverick and krispy kreme donuts, hot and ready...

Life is good, Dave's job is good, the boys are wonderful, and my school is busy.

We really can't complain...
