Dayson's Blessing

A quick insert before I forget. Dayson was blessed into the LDS church the Sunday before thanksgiving 2010. Joe gave him a beautiful blessing. Our Heavenly Father works in ways you can't explain. So Joe was very nervous to give this blessing, it was his first blessing he ever gave. The weekend before he was freaking out saying, I cant give it I will freeze up. I replied, you will be fine. Finally, Sunday right before church he said I cant do it, I just am going to write it all down word for word and read it. So I was like whatever, if your too nervous than you can. Right when he had Dayson in his arms and everyone around he pulled out his paper and it ripped vertical all the way through the words. He looked at me like holy crap what do I do. Than the bishop was like are you ready and Joe said I guess. He started and o man, is the power of the priesthood real. He gave such a beautiful blessing. It was so much better than what he had written down. He said things that weren't even thought of when he was rehearsing it prior. It was amazing. I truly know that this church is true and if you ever need anything our Heavenly Father is there. He doesn't give anybody trials that they cant handle.

Holiday Fun!

I love the holidays! I am so excited this year for Christmas because I have the best gift of all our little Dayson, he has brought such joy into our life. We are going to Teasdale this year and I am sure that Dayson will have a blast. Little up date- Dayson is into everything and being a mom has turned into a full 24 hour job. You cant leave him any where, in a blink of a eye he has found something to eat or has opened a cracked door where he wants to explore. He has learned to pull himself up on things. He is very talkative his new words are hey, duck, and YEA. I was clapping the other day and saying YEA to make him smile and than after a while I noticed he was doing it. That's his new little trick when we see people he will wave than clap and say YEA. Its adorable. He still loves his daddy and loves me when he wants to whine. He has two teeth, and last he bear crawls all over the house. He sticks his bum in the air and crawls around as one of the pictures shows. He makes me and Joe laugh daily. He was definitely worth being pregnant for nine months. Merry Christmas from the Ross Family!

Ambitions- releasing some steam

Quote I love"Keep away from the people who belittle your ambitions. Small people do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great." Mark Twain. This quote is a reminder to me that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. There will always be people who are road blocks and try to stop you from your dreams. I just have to remember that they are road blocks and I have to figure out a way to pass over it or avoid it. My sister told me the other day "Raquel your so positive about everything, tell me the truth it cant be that good all the time." I really took what she said as a compliment. Who wants to be around people who are negative about life. I know I wouldn't, I dislike talking to people who complain constantly or hate most things. Life is worth living, not hating! I figured if I can just keep doing what is right and working hard, than things will work them selves out. When thinking about all the people I have usual contact with, I noticed most of them have RED personalities. RED's are people with personalities traits who think they know what is best all the time, and they will speak their mind about most subjects. There do have good traits to, but I think I just need to find a lot more yellow friends. Yellow love to have a good time and just go with the flow. I really need people who will just go with the flow, I hate being so up tight because I cant please everyone. Many people have said Raquel who cares what other people think and say, but to me that is a impossible task. So after blowing a little of this steam I realized I just am going to avoid people who belittle my ambitions. I try never to do that to others, so why should should I have negative influences in my life.
