Christmas!

We had a great Christmas this year! Part of that was because we were OUT OF UTAH! And IN CALIFORNIA! And of course with Family which was the best part of all. Especially to them, they all missed Parker so much! It was a Wonderful, and Busy 2 weeks, but we loved every minute of it!

We surprised my parents by coming home a day earlier which was so much fun! My mom was so excited she was speechless! It was wonderful! And we left so early that we got there at 1 pm!! It was an amazing drive and Parker did so great the whole way!

We also made it home in time for our ward Christmas Party. It was fun to see everyone. And Parker got to meet Santa for the first time which was also fun! He was pretty tired though, so we couldn't get a single smile out of him, but at least he didn't cry. HAHA!


Christmas Eve is what is big on my side of the family, which works out great for us. My mom invites her side of the family over and we always have a great turnout! This year it was just about 40 people. It was so fun and once again we had great food! It is always fun to see family after so long. It was a great evening!



And here is a little shot with my new camera on Christmas of us and my parents.



When we didn't have something planned, we just goofed off which was especially nice for Jeff not having to worry about school. So a few things we did on our spare time: Watch movies, play games, play the new Mario Brothers game (which was way fun!), and build a K'nex roller coaster.



It was a perfect break! The best part was watching Parker interact with all of our loved ones! Here he is laughing with GreatGrandma Score!



I hope you all had an equally wonderful Christmas Season!

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
