I love these boys and don't know what I'd do without them!

Family Pictures

Dearest family, there should be a fanfare because this is my first entry in our blog for the Judds or any blog for that matter! We had all of the Princes in our yard a few weeks ago for family pictures and these are a few of the cutest of my family. I have so enjoyed reading your entries, thanks for spending the time to put stuff in for us to see and keep in touch with each other.

Spencer's hair is growing back in! We were planning on dark and curly, but no such luck.We are just happy to see whatever comes back in.He has a final scan this friday and we expect it to come out clean and clear. We are learning to deal with Emily's celiac disease.The translation is she is gluten intolerant so we are trying to cook without using wheat products which is more than a little tricky. I got a cookbook and talked to a friend who has been dealing with this for several years. She helped me a lot and gave me a lot of encouragement. The doctor that did the biopsy to confirm the diagnosis for Emily said we should all be tested for this disease because it could affect more people in our family.I am so excited to find out although it won't be harder to deal with if I have more than one. We love all of you so much and are so grateful to have you in our lives. With all my love,Tam

Your cute big sister!

So I was looking through some pictures and saw some cute ones of my mom and thought I would share them with you guys since you don't get to see her as much and she is really amazing... so of course you miss her dearly : )She seems to be doing much better now that the chemo for my dad is over and they are going to the cabin this UEA weekend to relax with the family so I hope the all have a good time. She watches lyndi for me every other week while I work and take Hyrum to gym, Lauren to soccer, Emily to track and runs all the other mother errands while trying to keep up on the house work. She also is so cute with my dad and you can tell the love eachother so much. She truly is my hero and I know now that I have one I could never do what she does and what Grandma Alice did for all of you guys. We have some amazing examples to looks to don't we.

This pic of her and my Dad is on Lyndi's 1st birthday so its a bit old (hence the hair on my dads head) but I thought it was cute!

Memories

Jaxon loves to give Henry kisses.
Sweet Henry!
Here is my dad with the boys...what a happy grandpa!
Henry 3 weeks old and a little cross-eyed...
Devin's grandparents recently sold their cabin in Utah to buy one closer to the family. They found outside of Payson and we went up for the first time last week. After we were home for a few days, we went up again and took my mom and dad for the night. We had a really fun time.

My dad said this is a bird's nest in the dirt. Is it true, I'm not sure. I've never seen a bird's nest in the dirt, but he didn't seem to be making it up...
Devin and Dad wanted to crack some black walnuts we gathered on our walk. Those nuts have such hard shells, they used a sledge hammer to crack them outside on the cement.

Yeah, I don't look so great, but these boys are so cute I had to post this pic!

cONFERENCE in gENERAL

So I decided that since "blogs" were mentioned by name a couple times in general conference it was about time that I share a bit of my thoughts on one of the most important subjects in my life. I love my daughter and husband very much and for that reason I feel very blessed to have the gift of the gospel in my life. It has brought me more comfort, guidance and peace than any other one thing in my life. So it would be very ungrateful and in a way greedy not to share my thoughts, beliefs, and feelings about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My testimony itself is very simple and often helps to simplify the chaos of my life. There are things Jake and I have accomplished that were only possible because of the help we recieved through the gospel. I know I am given help on a daily basis and so I know my Heavenly Father knows and loves me individually. I also have felt the healing powers of repentance through Jesus Christ and so I know he lives and suffered for each one of us individually so that we can be forgiven of our sins and return to live with our Heavenly Father. I have felt the confirmation of the spirit and now know that Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet and mouth peice of God as well as Joseph Smith was when he restored the church on the earth. I'm thankful for the temple and the ordinances that are performed there to make it possible for families to be together forever. With all my heart I testify to the truthfulness of these things and say them in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
I also came accross this video clip that you may have already seen since its being shown in the Mesa Tampl but if not you should check it out at http://mabrystudios.typepad.com/reflections_of_christ/2008/03/reflections-sli.html
I was very impressed by it and thought it was cool that it was photographed and filmed in Arizona. Love you guys and thanks to Sara and Alisa for their posts!

Roxie

Roxie said the cutest thing the other day. Tami...you will love this!!! Our next door neighbor was moving last weekend and so Danny went over to help her get things loadeed into her U-haul. When Roxie asked where Daddy was I told her that he was next door helping Ann move. She asked "where is Ann moving to?" and I told her "Far away to Utah" She then said " Oh far away to Utah by Aunt Tami's house?" I started to laugh because even Roxie, my sweet 3 year old, knows that her Aunt Tami lives too far away!!!! Just thought I would share that little moment with ya. Love ya!-----Alisa
