I'm so grateful to live in a country that honors it's veterans.

I'm grateful for my many freedoms and liberties that

those veterans have fought and sacrificed for in the past

and that are still fighting today. I pray that I never take

the freedoms I enjoy for granted. Thank You to the

many men and women, past and present, who have

secured my freedoms for me.

Olivia is wonderful.

She is so sweet and so cute.

There are moments she likes to

push every button I have to test her

boundaries, but I understand it's a

part of her growing and learning.

I know our house would feel hollow

and empty without her.

I love her.

Day 249

I have to laugh at this picture.

Tagen loves to play in Olivia's underwear.

Everyday she brings me a pair and wants

to wear it. I finally gave in and put them

on her. It gave me quite a good laugh

for the day and made her quite happy.

Day 248

I love this picture.

Tagen LOVES being with her daddy.

She squeals with delight when he gets

home from work and doesn't let him out

of her sight. She's content to sit by his

side just be with her daddy.

It makes me so happy.

My cute sister is going to have a baby in a week or so...

I'm excited for her family and for the changes that are

coming their way. She's waited a long time for this baby

and I'm grateful they were blessed with him.

Wild flowers and tulips are some of my favorite flowers.

Simple and beautiful.

Day 245

I love a great summer rain storm.

This was taken right after the rain had ended.

It's often the most beautiful part of a storm...

just after you've made it through the downpour,

the sun comes back out and lights the sky.

Today is my dad's birthday.

I'm so grateful to have him in my life.

He can make anyone smile.

He makes everyone feel welcome.

My kids adore and love him.

He's a worthy Priesthood holder.

He's an amazing example to me.

I love you Dad!

This is my niece, Samantha.

She is leaving on a mission soon.

bear testimony of the truthfulness

of the Gospel today.

My deepest desires were fulfilled today.

I was sealed to my husband in the House of the Lord

for all time and eternity.

Then our precious daughters were sealed to us also.

We are a family that will be together forever.

There is so much joy in my heart.

It is a day I will treasure for the rest of eternity.

Day 235

My two jewels.

So much alike, yet so different.

They balance me out.

I'm grateful for the differences.

Day 234

© 2010 Carrie Morris

I want to call this picture "Wall Flowers."

They remind me of a bunch of girls leaning

against the wall during a dance waiting for the

teenage boys to come ask them to onto the floor.

The whole time not knowing how intimidating

the group of them together in all their beauty

is to the poor teenage boys.

I'm so grateful I'm not a teenager anymore.

I'm so grateful to have my friend home.

She just returned from a mission for our church.

Welcome Home Jana!

I was able to help some young girls learn how to tie a quilt today.

I'm grateful for their willingness to give service and

who will share her talents and home with us.

I love the temple.

I love the peace I feel while

being inside, and even while

walking around the grounds.

It truly is heaven on earth.
