Happy Birthday Sweet Haley

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZZI- Last night we went to the Broadcast for the Young Women of our church. As I sat and listened I was overwhelmed by the gifts of Miss Haley Edwards. Everytime I heard the speakers mention a quality that a young lds woman should have, I immediately thought to myself, that sounds like Haley. They talked of courage to choose the right, being an example for good. Letting your inner beauty run deep, so that you shine on the outside. Haley is very passionate about sharing her beliefs with others. She nourishes her testimony daily and has followed the words of the prophets since she was baptized. She is a remarkable young woman and will bloom into a wonderful wife and mother before I know it. Here are photos of Haley over the past year.

Our Family Mission Statement

We recognize and respect that we have come from different backgrounds and upbringings
But that we are now united as one, with common goals and visions. We share an eternal bond That enables us to communicate honestly and openly in all issues. We are each other's greatest strength, comfort and encouragement.
Together we have a home of Love, harmony, cleanliness and learning, One to which we want to come back to each day and where family, friends and neighbors
Can come and feel comfort and peace; our doors are always open. The way we live our lives invites the spirit to dwell here. We turn our back to all influences that would cause the spirit to leave our minds, our Hearts and our home. We seek goodness in all situations and people, constantly keeping our eyes and hearts open to others in need, most specifically our extended families, which we hold dear.
We wish to instill in our children Unconditional love, respect, happiness and integrity And understand that we must first embody these qualities ourselves. Our ultimate goal is to return to our Heavenly Father together -- a complete family -- And we strive to instill in each this sense of unity. We strengthen and encourage each other so that each person has the capacity to gain a sense of self and individual worth from within themselves, independent of all outside influences.
As a family, We eat together, pray together, study and ponder the scriptures and gospel together, attend church together and laugh together.
We know when to work, when to play and when to relax. Most of all, we know each other. We know how to make each other smile and laugh And we are constantly seeking opportunities to do so. Our greatest legacy will be that we loved each other well.
