Wilbur and the Mother-in-Law!

This past week we had Christian's parents come up and visit us for their spring break and it was so much fun! It was just so neat to get to spend so much time with them in the comfort of our own home! We were treated to Six Flags and had so much fun running through the short lines and riding the roller coasters! We had a babysitter for the morning and Sandra held Tyson in the afternoon. The weather was perfect and it was a beautiful day.

Tyson absolutely adored his grandparents. It was so cute to see! He would smile and laugh and grab at Greg's glasses. They both had fun feeding him sugar (his first doses) and were so good to him. We are sad they are already gone but thoroughly enjoyed their stay! Thank you so much for visiting us!!

Christian playing with our happy son! He is still Tyson's favorite person in the world!

Tyson with Grandpa's beloved glasses! Greg had to go blind pretty much the whole vacation!

Here he is at 7 months!!

Tyson and me!!

The wedding bench on the riverwalk! What a beautiful couple!

We actually saw a wedding take place at this spot while walking on the other side of the river. We also saw Jake Barnwell giving his tours!

Remember the Alamo!!

Here Tyson's showing off his teeth!! He has two so far and they are super sharp! I actually had a dream all of his teeth had come in which is what made me check in his mouth! He only had one for a long time and it was so cute! We'll see how long it will be until the next two come in! He is actually wearing Christian's old onesie in this picture!

Grandma and Grandpa Francis with the little guy!

Grandma and Tyson!!

The Articles of Faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

A Beautiful Quote

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." Marjorie Pay Hinckley
