I will post some pictures of the last 3 months, but I want to say what a wonderful Sunday and Valentine's Day I have had.
I know my Heavenly Father is mindful and aware of me. I know he loves me. I am grateful for my wonderful family. Nathan often reminds me of the sweet and simple testimony that is so dear to my heart. Our home teachers came in January, and gave a lesson on testimonies. They spoke directly to Nathan during the lesson. Ever since, he prays that he can have a testimony. So precious! In Jan. I was made the Sunbeam teacher (I was over the 4-5 year-olds). I love being Nathan's teacher. There is only one other child his age in our ward, so I just get 2 cute little 3 year olds. I love it! (although, I secretly hope that after this year, I get to go back to Relief Society... I guess it's not a secret anymore). They are learning a new song in primary, and Nathan has got it down. It is so precious to hear him sing those words with such conviction...
"A long time ago in a beautiful place, children were gathered 'round Jesus.
"He blessed and taught as they felt of his love, Each saw the tears on his face.
"The love that he felt for his little ones, I know he feels for me.
"I did not touch him or sit on his knee, yet Jesus is real to me.
"I know He lives. I will follow faithfully. My heart I give to him.
"I know that my Savior loves me."
It brings tears to my eyes. What more could I want from my little boy. He knows that Jesus loves him. He does more than just sing it. He believes it.
He strengthens my testimony every day by being such a sweet child.
Making a gingerbread house with Dad...
Nathan loves his Daddy. He always has to get a hug and kiss before he leaves for work. If he's still asleep when Jon leaves, I have a very sad little boy.

Sledding with Mia. Such cute cousins!
These two are pictures of Matt's birthday. He is such a funny little boy. We laugh a lot. He is so animated. You should see him dance. Hilarious!
Lights at Temple Square
Isn't he cute? I LOVE HIM!
We often call him 'banana man' b/c he LOVES bananas. Sometimes he'll eat 2 whole bananas in one sitting.

Jon has been really busy lately. He is working full-time, plus he teaches some drafting classes at UVU. Last week the boys went a couple days without seeing him. They are often asleep before he gets home when he is teaching evening classes. They love their Daddy so much. Matthew's favorite phrase is still: "Hi Dad". He doesn't say much beyond that, but he says Dad a lot. He is sure trying to talk, but we can't understand him yet. It's obvious that he knows exactly what he is saying, and thinks we're crazy for not understanding him. He is a very vocal child. Our house is loud A LOT! But I love these 2 loud boys!
I did decide to stop teaching piano and dance for now. It was a difficult decision, but it was a good one. I am happy to be home with them, and they seem much more content. I am happy as well. In my small, short and quiet moments, I am reading like crazy... and loving it! (That's probably why no blog posts, I am reading instead).
