First Pickin's of the Season

The other day I was on the porch, cleaning....when Lil' Monster calls to me..

 Mamma! I have a surprise for you!!

Flowers! For you.

Because I love you so much!

They are the first flowers of the season...

he picked them just to tell me how he felt.

Warmed my heart, and brought tears of joy to my eyes.

I love this little guy!

Simple Delights

Received a

special

Delight

today

From the sweetest and loveliest man I know:

Mr. Elskan.

Thank you, my dear husband.

Glad I have you for eternity.

Great Pumpkin

Great Pumpkin,

For enticing the eye with your beautiful orange glow and for delighting the tongue with your rich flavor. Your delicious delectable divinity can make almost any food a heavenly party that dances around in the mouth.

This morning, you helped a handsome and thoughtful husband delight his wife upon her waking; as he surprised her with your yummi-ness melded into these delightful treats. Who knew muffins and doughnuts could be made worthy of consumption all because you were willing to add your spice into these rather mundane food items. Who knew crumble top, cream cheese, glaze, and chocolate could taste so inspiring.
Thank you for delighting a mamma to such an extent that even fits and tears later in the day could not destroy her happy high!

Sincerely Satisfied,

Mamma Sass

 P.S. Thank you dear sweet husband for going out of your way on such a busy work-day to bring a little joy into your wife's daily routine. These thoughtful acts of love and consideration only make her fall even more madly-in-love with you. If you continue to persist with such behavior, you will only cause a heart to beat with such depth of love that there could be no way of releasing you from such a connection!

"The Moose Is Loose" Fall Pumpkin Treats

Bald Baby



July 2009

Haircutting Day is usually spontaneous (when Mamma is feeling creative) and we try out lots of new styles. We haven't done "Bald" in a while. The last time was back in 2009. It was a first time. The boy had the cutest afro and then we had some fun carving it out. But the bald look was the final result. This Lil' Munchkin was impressed for all of but a day. He would rub his head all the way around and say, "Where's my hair?" Then once he reached his eyebrows he would say, "There it is!!"

BUT  WE HAVE SOME NEWS!!!!!!

BALD is BACK,

BABY!

He loved using the shaving cream.

Not only all over his head,

but squishing it on his fingers and

wiping it this way and that

(shaving cream is good like that).

July 2011

Look at this beautiful bald boy!

He thinks he looks just like Uncle M. our military soldier,

and a friend of ours, Brother W: (an incredible man from our church)
who happens to be bald.

We got some beautiful shots of this beautiful baby.

Forever Family

As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints we believe in being

families forever.

We believe that families can be sealed together for eternity in a

Temple.

This sealing is a bond that will always last, even beyond death.

We believe that children can be born into this sealing,

 if the couple has been married for eternity in the Temple.

We believe that children who are not born (meaning adopted) under this seal can still be sealed into the family forever in the Temple.

I am so grateful for this principle.

 I love my precious boy!

I am not able to conceive children and I am so grateful God has provided for even such as I.

I find much comfort knowing that I can be a forever family

with my husband AND beautiful son.

Family Comes First

Our Family Standard

When Mr. Elskan and I married we decided that Family Comes First.

We hope to build and train up our family using the following principles:

Faith
Prayer
Repentance
Forgiveness
Respect
Love
Compassion
Work
and
Wholesome Recreational Activities

Don't expect perfection in these from us - we won't make it.
But we hope to strive for perfection through practicing them!
