Aaron's "Inventions"

I came home from running errands to find my baby like this

He was actually asleep, but I woke him up and he was totally content. Aaron said he kept crying and nothing was helping so he figured since Leone likes to stand, he'd make something for Leone to stand in without him falling. Yes, Aaron is some kind of amazing.

Here's another thing he made because he didn't want to buy the floor gym from the store

Creative or ghetto?

Texting with Aaron

My SIL Leisa lent us her jumper for Leone to use, so I put him in it and this was the picture I took and sent to Aaron



P: Nevermind using his legs

A: Haha it takes more work to hold his legs up.

P: It's hilarious

A: He's tryin to be a rebel

P: Gets it from his dad

A: There's a difference between rebel and gangsta

P: You're neither. Anyhoots my mom's patient went to the ER so I'm gonna have to pick her up when she gets back

A: Pick up ur mom or the patient?

P: blah blah blah

Texting this morning:

P: I smell ur scent on ur pillow and I'm missing you like crazy

A: What scent? Like poop?

P: Way to kill the mood.

Tithing brings blessings.

Why are Mormons asked to donate 10% of their income to their Church? (Mormon.org)

Gordon B. Hinckley, prior President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said: “Our major source of revenue is the ancient law of the tithe. Our people are expected to pay 10 percent of their income to move forward the work of the Church. The remarkable and wonderful thing is that they do it. Tithing is not so much a matter of dollars as it is a matter of faith. It becomes a privilege and an opportunity, not a burden. Our people believe in the word of God as set forth in the book of Malachi, that the Lord will open the windows of heaven and pour down blessings that there will not be room enough to receive them (Malachi 3:8-10). Moving and touching is the testimony of Latter-day Saints throughout the world concerning this the Lord’s law for the financing of His work.”

We were running pretty low with our funds and still trying to help out family yet Aaron and I both decided that even though we didn't have much, we still  needed to pay our tithing. Best decision ever! Like they say in the church, the Lord doesn't need our money, He needs our faith. My faith was definitely tested and the Lord came through. I don't know how it makes sense, (looking at our bank acct), but it does!
