I came across this video of one of my favorite LDS songs. I cry every time I listen to it. It is such a spiritual song of just how special us Women are. Enjoy!!

The Refiner's Fire

My sister Trisha and I had an awesome experience recording 2 songs for Dan Bryant on his new cd "The Refiner's Fire." Our friend Cassie is his Sister In Law and had recommended us to him. He is such a talented person, writing his own music on the piano, drums, and guitar. This cd consists of LDS hymns that he wrote in his own style as well as some of his own work. Trisha and I did a duet of "Lord I would Follow Thee" and quartet of "Amazing Grace." The cd will be completed in the Fall, but you can pre order it on his website www.danbryantmusic.com

Trisha and I are so excited to finally have a start of putting ourselves out there with our talent of singing! Hopefully we will have much more to share in the future!!

Grandparent's 60th Anniversary

My Grandpa and Grandma Holt celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on August 19th. We had a huge celebration for them in honor of their marriage and also the wonderful  examples they have been throughout these years. We went to the Sleepy Ridge Golf Course which by the way is AMAZING!! My Uncle Golden has been a huge part in building it and the clubhouse there looks like a huge mansion! So cool!! We had a nice time- touring the golf course, taking pictures, eating yummy food, and spending time with family. We also had a program of those who reminisced about my Grandparent's childhoods and their relationship with each other. It was fun hearing all the stories about them! 

I love my Grandparents so much. They are the most giving people I know and will do anything for anyone. Anyone who comes around my Grandpa will always leave with a smile. He is such a kind man who makes you feel so special! He's the most Christlike person I know. 

I wish Congrats to the both of them of setting such a great example of love and devotion in a marriage as well as in a family!! Happy 60th!!!

My crazy 2 year old!!

Mr. Haiden Belshe has been such a terror lately!! His terrible two's are at the highest they could possibly go!! He is constantly doing things that he knows he's not supposed to like writing on the wall, bullying his sister, having temper tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants, and the list goes on and on!!! I am about to go crazy!!! Is this ever going to end?? Dont' get me wrong, he can be the sweetest little boy, and so cute, but lately, he's eveolved into this little monster!! All we can do I guess is just be patient as possible! Hopefully he'll grow out of it sooner than later!

Can't Sleep!!

These past few weeks, I have had the hardest time falling asleep!! My mind goes into this whole thinking mode where I have constant thoughts running through my head. I think about the past, what's going on now like work, the kids, ect, things that I want for the future, and so on. It's been driving me crazy!!! I try to just block it out, but then something else comes into mind and it consumes my head. I usually end up getting out of bed and to the computer, like I am now and stay up until I am completely exhausted. I don't know what to do! My family would say, just take an ambien or something, but I would really prefer staying away from medicine. I know it helps, but I don't want to have to rely on something to make me sleep! Any suggestions?? I am getting so frustrated!
