Life Update

So life has been way too busy to keep up with the blog so here is an attempt. Cameron has been competing in Winter Drumline competitions and they have placed first at both of their competitions so far. They have a great team and have done well. Their competition is improving though so I hope they can keep it up. I forgot my camera the first week so I was very disappointed. Last week, I remembered my camera, checked the battery and then 1/3 of the way through the performance, I remembered that I had taken my memory stick out of the camera to process some pictures so I didn't have enough memory for the whole thing! That is my life!!!! So, here is a small portion of Saturday's competition. I WILL remember to get everything in order next time!!!!

Hayden made omelets and strawberry smoothies for us for breakfast a couple of weeks ago. They were delicious!!!

Colton moved in with us a couple of weeks ago. It has been fun to have him around more often. We do a paper route together every morning during the winter. He does it alone when the weather is better. Here he is eating breakfast this morning! (Paul was trying to figure out how to record a video.)

Hayden performed in a talent show at school today. He did an amazing job!

So that is a small summary of the happenings at the Page house the past couple of weeks. I will be better and try to update more often!

Life Thoughts...

In my book that I'm reading, she quotes John Wayne: "Life is tough. But it's tougher when you're stupid." She then goes on to talk about integrity and how it's much more than just being honest. She says, "Integrity is the foundational virtue upon which all other virtues are dependant. It is the first rung on the character ladder. Where there is integrity, other virtues will follow. Where there is no integrity, other virtues have no chance of developing." (Sheri Dew, No One Can Take Your Place, pg.119) It's a great chapter and it really makes you think, just like the other ones. But I really liked the first quote. I think I might put in on my wall in vinyl! I hope I can get through life without being stupid!

Faith, Again....

Little did I know that when I wrote that last post, my faith would be tested again. I guess Satan really knows how to try my faith. I am a firm believer that when we vocalize our goals, Satan knows them and works twice as hard to thwart our plans. Life has been really good for Paul and me, physically, spiritually, mentally, etc. As soon as we discussed our goals last week, I felt good about them and knew that they were the goals that Heavenly Father wanted me to work on. We discussed ways to accomplish them and even felt like they might be reachable. Well, today I am doubting again and I wonder how my goals can be reached. I know that Heavenly Father can help me reach them, but I don't know how they can come to pass. I guess that's where the faith comes in. Do I have any? I hope so..............I guess we'll see.
