Conference

Well, it sure has been a long while since I posted anything. I found facebook and abandoned my poor, lonely blog. But I'm back! (At least for today ... lol) I am going to catch up on all of your blogs and see what everyone is up to.

The reason that I wanted to post today is that I just had such an awesome "Conference Weekend" and I just wanted to share my testimony with my friends and family that I know that this church is absolutely the true church and I am so grateful that I am apart of it. I know without a doubt that the prophet and Apostles are real and true and that they are a mouth-piece for the Lord. He loves us and wants us to have direction in our lives and He will not leave us alone.

I read this in D&C 1 this morning and it re-confirmed to me how I felt about conference...

38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.

39 For behold, and lo, the Lord is God, and the Spirit beareth record, and the record is true, and the truth abideth forever and ever. Amen.

Zak's 1st article of faith

For FHE this week, we thought we would teach Zak and Maddie the 1st article of faith. We had no idea he would be able to memorize it, but after only about 3 tries, he had it down! I'm so proud of him! He's growing up way too fast!

On Friday, Wal*Mart had a midnight release party for the release of Twilight onto DVD. They found out on Thursday that a cast member from the movie would be showing up. They didn't say who was coming - it was a surprise. Mat was in charge of putting the party together. He did all the decorating and put together all the games and prizes etc... He worked so hard and it turned out awesome! At 11:30, Rachelle Lafevere walked in! (Victoria from the movie) It was a great party! Mat got to hang out with her in the back room while she signed a bunch of posters and movies and then he got her some food and helped with security while she signed movies for all the fans! There were about 3,000 people there! It was INSANE! Mat let me butt in line and so I got my movie and book signed! and I shook her hand! YAY! It was so fun! Here's some pics from the night. Some aren't very clear. There were so many people and it was really hard to get any good pictures. But here they are...

I LOVE her hair! Isn't that the best picture? LOL!

Here's me getting her autograph! I was pretty dang happy!

Here's Mat and one of the body guard lol

This is me shaking "Victoria's" hand!!!"

Here'es when "Victoria" first came in!

Here's somof the Awesome Decorations! This tree was so cool! And behind it was the gazebo with posters of Bella and Edward inside.

Great Friends

Jenny came to visit today! It was so fun to see her! We reminisced about the good ol' days and laughed so hard at some of our crazy memories... Her little girl, Natalie is so so cute... Thanks for coming over, Jenny... it's always good to spend time with great friends...

This is what I found when I came in the kitchen one morning ... My little artists ...

Thanks, Leslie, for the tag! I was supposed to find the 4th picture in my 4th file and here it is... 2
summers ago, we lived in Roseville, California and we would swim every single day. This is a picture of Zak and Maddie ready for the daily trip to the pool. Zak would take all his turtles to swim with him. Maddie was so so fat! I love it! I tag Chelle and Marissa.

Going Private

Ok, I hope Michelle doesn't mind I just copied what she wrote on hers but she said it well, and it is time for us too...

We have decided to finally give in and go private. I write things that we want to keep amongst my family and friends and not have the world be able to view it. We have been torn knowing that, that is how people can find you but that also means strangers can too. If you want to be able to view the blog please leave me your email or email it to mine. I hope all of you will still want to view it. My email is babesthomas@hotmail.com. I hope this does not cause any problems with anyone but I think it is wise to do. Thanks for understanding!


ps. if you would rather not have to sign in or don't have a google account I can also put you on my email list and every time I put on a new post it will automatically email it to you. Just let me know!
