This is Tyler modeling the snowman outfit my mom gave us a couple of years ago.

Tyler and Emalyn are so good at getting Krysta to smile and laugh. She loves her brother and sister very much.

Tyler and Emalyn are so into books right now. They love to tell their own stories by looking at the pictures in the books. They are so creative with their stories.
This weekend, we had the opportunity to sustain the newest prophet in these Latter-days, President Thomas S. Monson. As the weekend was approaching, I remembered when we sustained President Gordon B. Hinckley as prophet, seer, and revelator. It was my Senior year of High School, and I didn't remember Pres. Hinckley that well up to that point. I wondered how I'd feel about him being our prophet. So I prayed that I'd know that he was called of God. It was such a neat experience that followed. As he spoke in that General conference, I felt such an outpouring of love from him. I felt the Savior's love so strongly, and I knew he was called of God. So, on Saturday, when President Monson spoke, I looked for a similar answer. I was again amazed at the love I could feel emanating from him. He is not the same President Monson that spoke at conference last October. The mantle of the prophet has fallen upon his shoulders, and it has changed him. Not a lot, just enough to make him the prophet. I know he is our prophet and called of God. I know if we follow his advice and counsel, then we will not go astray. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful man as God's representative on the earth.
The snow is finally melting! We actually went for a walk for family home evening tonight, with coats and gloves on of course. It was so fun to pretend like it really is spring and starting to get warm! Spring can't come soon enough in my opinion.
