During the month of April, we celebrated Brandon's 29th birthday. Our celebration was pretty simple. I made him orange rolls from a can for his breakfast. For dinner, we grilled a great meal. The kids are always so excited when it is someones birthday. The loved helping me pick out a cake and cupcakes for his birthday.Through out the day they each found something of theirs to give Brandon for his birthday.Like at my birthday, the kids were very excited to pass out their presents to Brandon. I gave Brandon the Dark Knight movie and a Jenny Oaks Baker CD of Classical Music. I am so grateful to have Brandon has my husband. He is such an amazing man who works so hard in all he does. We couldn't ask for a better husband or father.

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." -President Thomas S Monson
Sisters, there is something inspiring and sublime about the little forget-me-not flower. I hope it will be a symbol of the little things that make your lives joyful and sweet. Please never forget that you must be patient and compassionate with yourselves, that some sacrifices are better than others, that you need not wait for a golden ticket to be happy. Please never forget that the “why” of the gospel of Jesus Christ will inspire and uplift you. And never forget that your Heavenly Father knows, loves, and cherishes you.—President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
