I am so very blessed. I have no doubt that the Lord has mapped out each of our lives and placed us in the pathway of others at specific times. And I know he is hoping we can just see the big picture and have the patience to see it all come beautifully together. I have been blessed so tremendously lately by those in my life. When the path becomes rocky and I stumble and I look around and think 'Is this really where I want to be?' the angels of my life have taken my hand and moved me forward. Thank you, for carrying me when all I want to do is sit and even dig me feet into the ground.
This quote came to me this week- A reminder that the Lord know how to reach your heart despite all barricades or walls you may build in an attempt to protect.
“Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other.”Elder Marvin J. Ashton
Thank you to all who kept expecting the best of me and seeing who the Lord wants me to become.

Ainsley- An Update
Ainsley's a little camera shocked. Too many Pictures mom. In these pictures Ainsley sure looks like the bishop side of the family.
MMMM.... Tasty!
"Come Here Ainsley, Come Here"
The story behind this picture- I was holding Ainsley and I heard Ian come in the kitchen behind me. Then his cute little voice... "Come here Ainsley, come here."I turn around and see Ian sitting in the rubbermaid. Me-"Do you want to hold Ainsley?"Ian-"Yeah. We're goin' sleddin' "So this is Ian and Ainsley going sledding. Need less to say we got out of our little apartment that afternoon.

Ian has watched mom get "ready" too many times. He found my mascara.

I asked Ian if I could take a picture and the first picture is his response- with no comment. I finally got a smile.

Holiday Wishes
Your Holidays Happy,
And Peace find you
This Christmas Season.
Merry Christmas!
From our family to yours,
Bradley, Calli, Ian & Ainsley 2008
Bradley- He is in his 3rd year of medical school at the University of Utah, which means he is out of the classroom and into the hospitals and clinics. He is loving it. He is currently serving in our student ward Bishopric.
Calli- I’m staying busy adjusting to being a mother of two. On occasion I’ve been able to sneak in reading, scrapbooking, and keeping up my RD credentials.
Ian – In a pleasant 2 ½ years old. He loves trains, planes, cars, and anything with wheels and a motor. He has been going to swimming lessons and loves his goggles. Ian enjoys visiting his father at the hospital- at one of Ainsley’s check-ups Ian stated, “I’m at the Hospital…I a lucky boy.” Ian is such a great big brother. When he hears Ainsley awaken from her nap he says, “I hear Ainsley; let’s go get her.”
Ainsley- Born August 18th is now 4 months old and I can’t believe how fast time flies. She is so pleasant and loves her brother, watching everything he does. She is discovering her voice.

Welcome Ainsley Marie
AINSLEY MARIE One Day Old
Ainsley was born 8-18-08, Weighing in at 7lbs 5oz and 19 1/2 in long.
Mother went to the hospital about 3:30p and she was born about 5:00p. It was so quick that the Epidural didn't have time to take effect-resulting in a "Natural" birth. As my Doctor put it "You may have gotten poked but that was Natural." I've thought that I wanted to try going natural but my vote now is Epidural (Just in case). The birth was doable, the stitching was manageable but when I started having contractions the strenth of Labor contractions about an hour after her birth my thought was when is the pain going to end. Well a long story made short I had a post partum hemerage, clots had to be removed- as painful as labor, and an allergic reaction (airway closing) to the one of the drugs to stop the bleeding. Despite the eventful hospital stay I have been well and Ainsley is doing just great. I have been taking it easy thanks to my wonderful husband and mother.
Ian LOVES Ainsley. His first visit he would come give Ainsley a kiss then run off and play run back and give her another kiss and off to play again- hence the fuzzy Ian below. 
He loves to hold her.
