More Scrapbooking

Well, as you know I have been on quite a roll lately with the scrapbooking. Well, I was hoping to keep it going tonight while we watched a movie, but my darn pictures haven't come yet!! I've been expecting them since Monday! Well, I guess I'll just be proud of the fact that I had nothing to work on until I got more pictures. And I have all the way to our Anniversary (Dec. 30th) up to date, on paper, and journaled!!

So I have this fear that someday my house will burn down and all of my scrapbooks will burn right along with it. So when I took pictures of my pages the other day to post, it gave me the idea to take a picture of all my pages, so I will at least always have a digital copy of all my hard work. I know, it sounds kind of silly, but it does bring me a lot of comfort. Jeff thinks I'm silly, but they do mean a lot to me, not to mention they really are a journal of my life.

It was fun looking through everything again. And I must say, I am proud of what I have accomplished!! I started the actual 12x12 scrapbooks for my sophomore year and have kept it up until now, so that is where the pictures begin. So many memories! So much fun! And I have CLEARLY improved in regards to how good it looks, but either way, it is done and on paper and is documenting my life for the past 6 years! I have 3 1/2 binders full of pretty pages, pictures, and journal entries (as I was trying to decide which ones to post I counted and by that I mean had the computer count how many I have done . . . 114 double pages!!!! WOW!! That is an accomplishment!!! No wonder I had so many after I narrowed it down).

Anyway, enough with the rambling, I figured I would share some of my favorites with you. (I'll keep the not so good ones to myself and those who choose to come see them in person. :))

I'd Love to hear what you think!!
(p.s. Sorry the pictures are bad, because there were so many I was too lazy to take them all out of the albums.)


This is my All Time Favorite Page!!
All about how Jeff proposed, all of our engagement picture negatives, and Our wedding announcement.


I have a separate scrapbook for Nauvoo, but here are the some highlights.

This is my most recent page finished today, our 3rd Anniversary

Rebecca they are wonderful pages! as I said on you last scrapbook post I am just amazed at how you do it. How do you keep up with it? My goal in life is to be like you! P.S. how did you do the negative thing on the engagement page? I really like it. And I don't think you are silly for taking pictures of them. I know how you feel about your hard work. I would do the same.

You are definitely on a roll. I am so far behind on my scrapbooking! I am a little jealous. You are doing a great job. The Circut makes your pages look so professional and probably easier to do.

Also - I think you will like Parker walking around by the time your baby girl is here. He will be a little independent. You won't be HAVING to hold 2 babies at the same time. It will still be hard for a little while but worth it. I feel that way with the girls only being 17 1/2 months apart. It was hard at first but they play with each other really well. Parker will hopefully be a great big brother and helper and a love his little sister.

You will appreciate these so much in the future. You're doing a great job of recording your personal history for your posterity too. I wish I had such a wonderful record of the important (and not so important) events in my life. Good Job!

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...
