Deep thougths by Bekah Marriott

I was fixing dinner last night and my five-year-old, Bekah, was coloring at the kitchen table. Our conversation went something like this...
Me: "Bekah, I know that Heavenly Father can help you stop sucking your finger. Do you have enough faith that HE can help you?"
B: "Yes, Mom, I have faith."
Me: "Faith means we can pray to Heavenly Father and we know that He will help us. I know that if you ask for His help he can put thoughts into your head to help you remember to take your finger out!"
SILENCE
MORE SILENCE
B: "Mom, Santa Claus just put a thought into my head that I'm going to get an American Doll named Ruthi for Christmas!!"
So much for a spiritual teaching experience. Maybe our next family home evening lesson will be on WHO we pray to and from what source we receive these thoughts!!

Mikayla's Birthday!!!

So my oldest, Mikayla, turned seven back in May...but she was reading our blog today and noticed that I had never posted pictures of her big day!! SO here they are.

Good morning, Beautiful!!


New outfit for school...


This was a request. It's a Beta fish lovingly named Max Martin Marriott!!


Seven is a special birthday because it means only one year until EIGHT, and that means being baptized!!
