When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Some Fun in the Fisherhood

 Lily loves to make this face, and we think it's pretty cute...
 On August 25th, I ran a relay race with 4 other ladies from our ward.  It was SO much fun!  I even got my own little cheering section during part of the race.  Our team ended up taking 3rd in the women's category.  It was HUGE for me!  I have never gotten anything like that when doing the races, so it was exciting for me to bring something home other than a sense of accomplishment!  :)  We ran 31 miles in 4:11:57.  WAHOO!
 Todd is teaching them while they are young...
 Todd tried on his mom's wig the other day, this apparently is his Zoolander Face... nice!
 For our anniversary we took a much needed quick trip to Lagoon for the day.  We jumped into one of the photo booths and used Todd's phone for some free pictures!  hehe
 I am not exactly sure why, but I just LOVE this picture! 
 Reese was eating an ice cream cone at the fair the other day... yeah VERY MESSY experience. 
 We found this at Todd's mom's house and Todd decided to bring it home!  :)  It has been wonderful having it! 
We attempted to let Reese ride rides at the fair, yeah this is what happened...
So we tried again, and this is what happened... so we stopped trying.  Hopefully someday, she'll be daring like her sister, but if not it'll probably save us a lot of money in the long run.  :)

We have been busy starting school and doing all sorts of fun things.  I know I am a slacker and didn't get a picture of Lily on her first day of school.  Maybe I will get a picture of her on her 4th day of school though!  lol we are doing a joy school with some ladies in our ward as well and she is loving it so far1  I love how grown up she is, and how much she is learning!  LOVE HER!
