September Blessings

each month seems to go by so quickly!  september was no exception.  it was beautiful weather except for a few days of rain and we enjoyed every minute of it between football, dance, meetings, work, church, school...okay, we enjoyed all that too but just don't have pictures of it right now:).

Seeing Our Blessingsfor fhe, we read this article by pres monson on seeing our blessings and then followed the instructions to find our own blessings...so, the kids took a lot of these fun, blurry pictures.  enjoy!

Good idea! You will have to tell me how to play the marshmallow game.

A fun way to document your blessings. I liked them all especially Bridon with the umbrella!
