This past year I have really enjoyed researching my own family history work on family search. I have been blessed to find many of my own descendants on both of my parents side. I enjoy learning about the lives of my ancestors. My great great great grandfather on my fathers side was one of the last surviving civil war vets. I have a newspaper clipping where they wrote a story about him. My family tree has many branches of beautiful people and I am excited to do more research. Recently I was able to take some of my own ancestor names to the temple to do temple work for them. This has been such a huge blessing in my life as I have had a wonderful experience and I have felt the spirit so strong as their names were taken through the temple. I know the Lord has blessed me to be able to do this very important work. My 12 year old and 17 year old were able to participate in an indexing challenge in our ward and it really got them excited to do their own family history work. I hope to have my daughters take my own family names to the temple soon to do baptisms for their ancestors. In Doctrine and Covenants 124 we are taught the importance and sacredness of doing the temple work for our ancestors. I have a testimony of the importance of temple work so our ancestors can be sealed together forever. I am so thankful that my family can be together forever.4HessGirlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14143573456562419532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6585479768221451340.post-42030097077862735642011-02-03T08:11:00.000-08:002011-02-03T15:28:38.032-08:00Kindergarten Registration...for my baby!

I told her she had to do a sport in high school and so she decided to try swimming! At first she was very scared, but now she LOVES it! She improved a lot this year, she does a great back stroke and awesome flip turns! Her favorite so far is freestyle! She swam the 500 at her last home meet last week and she did great! She decided for next year she wants to train more for that event and make that one of her main events to swim! She loves being part of a team and she has made some great friends! As a parent I got to say it has been a blast watching the girls complete in sports! For now her swim suit is taking a break, but she can't wait for swim club to start!!!4HessGirlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14143573456562419532noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6585479768221451340.post-87994233432364690732011-01-12T04:11:00.001-08:002011-01-12T04:20:59.874-08:00I'm hoping to get back into BLOGGINGI miss blogging and I'm hoping to get back into blogging again!

I had never made the trek to Nebraska before let alone with four girls by myself. It was exciting!!! We enjoyed the visit with my Aunt Jane, Jamie and her 4 girls, and Amy her 2 sons and 1 girl!!! We visited, played outside, shopped, ate good food, went swimming, went on walks. I even got to celebrate my sweet little cousin Emily's 1st birthday! On the saturday morning that we were to depart for Denver at 7 am my van decided it did not want to start. First my cousin helped us jump it, but it still wouldn't start, then we thought it might be the alternator, oh boy! We called my Aunt and woke her up and she came and looked at it and she figured out what was wrong with it. The cables on the battery were loose, so she fixed it. She also topped off my oil and sent my home with a brand new wrench just in case it came loose on the way home. So instead of leaving at 7am....we left at 10am, but there is a reason for everything!!! We arrived home at 6:30 pm Colorado time and I was so excited to see my husband. I missed him so much. The girls were excited to see their daddy! Thanks again to my wonderful family for hosting us in NEBRASKA!!! I marked two more states off my list of visited. I spent an hour in IOWA shopping with my aunt and cousin.4HessGirlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14143573456562419532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6585479768221451340.post-55516271625715015642010-04-04T19:39:00.000-07:002010-04-04T19:47:38.650-07:00HAPPY EASTERWE HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL EASTER AS A FAMILY!!!

We have definately enjoyed this time of year together. The girls and I finished decorating the house today and it looks BEAUTIFUL!!! We baked all kinds of different cookies today to give as gifts for teachers, home and visiting teaching, and friends!!! We enjoyed our wonderful ward christmas party last friday...we have a lot of talent in our ward and a great since of humor. I loved all of the acts and you could tell everyone that did a act worked very hard in preparing. Tonight we enjoyed family home evening with a christmas message and Rowena played "Joy to the World" on the piano for us and we all sang together. Rowena has been teaching herself how to play the piano and while our foriegn exchange student was here staying with us she did a great job of teaching Rowena and so Rowena has been practicing and learning new songs. Tonight I will finish up christmas cards and packages so we can get it all mailed tomorrow.

The last time I did this was when Mackenzie was six weeks old and she will be turning 3 on the 19th of this month. I know I'm not to happy with myself. We did get other photo's done at walmart since then too that turned out ok. I decided I wanted to do them myself again and we had a BLAST doing it. I got to say though that my almost 3 year old did pretty good, but she made it hard at times. I still managed to get some nice ones. So I'm going to make different sizes of some of my favorites for grandparents and other relatives. They grow up so fast!!!

I though it would be easier with the 3rd since I have done this twice before, but it's not easy letting your precious ones leave for school when you have had them at home in your care for all of their lives. I miss her, but I will make it through. I'm thankful it is only 1/2 day kindergarten. Courtney was so excited for kindergarten, but decided last night while getting ready for bed she didn't want to go becasue she wanted to stay up later with her oldest sister instead of going to bed for school.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhseQ_SGERD51PiNx2D0aVYGSIttEFVq1NjzGIXG2UXaR3CqLiEVhPWko2BjPenkWHU2sHQH_IqYbtQ5kWo2_e7eMjd2gy-6-iWOWNVLUmDKPGnjW6vmQwk07xa-38fLbvgPr-Fe_FGzoA/s1600-h/023.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364258023328967874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhseQ_SGERD51PiNx2D0aVYGSIttEFVq1NjzGIXG2UXaR3CqLiEVhPWko2BjPenkWHU2sHQH_IqYbtQ5kWo2_e7eMjd2gy-6-iWOWNVLUmDKPGnjW6vmQwk07xa-38fLbvgPr-Fe_FGzoA/s320/023.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9zIBf1ClkPSptWenYDo_zZUuWAzlVzRQLQyjfRiKKGHEklRO40nKFTLGxbwTAHPuJLzlBt5yfWDlyPJMxPnWXabbqQVLxCEqoJVGiqSlO4k46iG8FVHLOJkBt_lS8zhiPX2nxJ0IJxQA/s1600-h/020.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364257651056156002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9zIBf1ClkPSptWenYDo_zZUuWAzlVzRQLQyjfRiKKGHEklRO40nKFTLGxbwTAHPuJLzlBt5yfWDlyPJMxPnWXabbqQVLxCEqoJVGiqSlO4k46iG8FVHLOJkBt_lS8zhiPX2nxJ0IJxQA/s320/020.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjAofjhOSPUatqLx8TuNXfCVbJ2u59ZwXnajy286DWR2bF2F8JPjA2cAzzXE-N4F-UpMfgLnJIMt6TxKNZoNB5qQ3boTM9aXR4fuh2j_5IQGyV2Y9bN1n278msamyTjON0mrqVXEt6qts/s1600-h/011.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364257264079163906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjAofjhOSPUatqLx8TuNXfCVbJ2u59ZwXnajy286DWR2bF2F8JPjA2cAzzXE-N4F-UpMfgLnJIMt6TxKNZoNB5qQ3boTM9aXR4fuh2j_5IQGyV2Y9bN1n278msamyTjON0mrqVXEt6qts/s320/011.JPG" /></a> This was taken 2 days ago with her teacher.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">So sending another daughter off to school and pray that what you have taught them in their early years sticks with them.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">I'm going to try and get back into blogging and I'm so sorry to my family and friends that I have been missing in action.
