I loved this quote from General Conference.

"Think of the purest, most all-consuming love you can imagine. Now multiply that love by an infinite amount, that is the measure of God’s love for you. God does not look on the outward appearance. I believe that He doesn’t care one bit if we live in a castle or a cottage, if we are handsome or homely, if we are famous or forgotten. Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God’s love encompasses us completely."

-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I tuned into conference just as he was saying this but it definitely made me wish I would have turned it on earlier!

Pride and Joy

I can't take this song off of repeat. I love Brandi Carlile's new CD.

So Long Sweet Summer

We have been enjoying summer to the fullest around here. I guess that explains why my blog has been so neglected! I was planning on putting up some swimming pictures since we practically lived in the pool this summer, but I got distracted by all the pictures of my niece Hallie. I babysit her one day a week and when she looks up at me with her big smile and cute little dimples I have a compulsive urge to grab my camera. As soon as she sees the camera her cute little smile disappears and she pulls one of these...

Pick the Ricks

Kaden (my little brother and our best little budy)is running for student council this year... He even came up with his own slogan "Pick the Ricks." We had a little photo shoot so that he had pictures for his poster. Isn't he the cutest!?!?!

Love Him!

Today I stayed home sick from church. I was laying on the couch reading when Brent walked in dressed in his Sunday best carrying this flower that he picked for me. It was so simple but so sweet! I love him!

Happy Birthday to Me!

23. I am so freaking OLD! Thank you to EVERYBODY who helped make my birthday absolutely PERFECT!

The Ranch

On Saturday we went to visit B's Grandparents on their ranch. We helped brand cattle, road four wheelers, went fishing and had a blast visiting with Grandma and Grandpa Kelly! I can't wait to go back!
