Our Latest Family Pics






These were taken by my visiting teacher whom I absolutly adored! We took these a couple of weeks before she moved. The girls are wearing their Easter dresses. I love the ones of the girls! The ones with me in them-I can't figure out how many camera's were actually on me! (get it)

8 Years!!


The best anniversary present ever!!! HE PASSED THE NCLEX!!


Todd and Josh laying in bed together. Neither of them were very happy when I snapped this shot. It was priceless though!!


Me rockin' it. It felt so good!


Todd rockin' it!!

What a ride we have been on. But I couldn't think of anyone I would rather be on it with. I love my sisters and my friends but no one in this world compares to my Sweet Bug. He has taught me so many things...a lot of which is to let go of things because they don't really matter. We have so much fun together and it's interesting to see how when I think I finally have him figured out he goes and switches things up on me. I love so many little things about him...like his great love for ice cream and his never ending patience and yes some things still get on my nerves like when he brings chips to bed and licks them. But I must say that I have the way better end of the deal...He has to put up with me!:) We went to St. George for our anniversary and left the girls at home with Todd's mom and dad. It was the first time that I have ever left them like that but boy was it worth it!! It was so fun to talk and not be interuppted, to spoon at night and not have anyone try to climb in between us and when we were out to eat not having to get up in the middle of our meal to take someone potty. I was so excited to sleep in but when 7:00 rolled around and I had fallen asleep at midnight I was good to go. I can't remember when the last time was that I got seven hours of sleep let alone uninterrupted sleep! I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful man to enjoy this journey with.

What The ....?!!!


How does this even happen? I know that everyone around me is so grateful for the snow because of the moisture but I don't know if there is anyone else on earth that loves the SUN more than I do. I cannot even begin to describe how sad I get when I look outside and see snow. I'll be the first to admit that I am the worst winter mom in the world. I would way rather stay inside and play than go outside and pretend like I'm having a good time freezing my...well...everything! I know that this spring is no different than any other in Utah, but I am about to pack up everything and move somewhere warm...seriously!!

NARF!!


While Linny (Todd's little sister) and her girls were in Utah visiting we went up to Clare and Cindy's as much as we could. One night after I had bathed the girls I was standing @ the bar talking to everyone. Brylee had been playing with all the tupperware in the lazy susan when all of the sudden I heard her crying. I look over and this is what I found. She had gone for a ride and didn't like it very much. Cindy went to grab her and I made her wait so I could get this priceless picture.

My Sweet Baby Girl


I couldn't resist taking a picture of this!

The Draper Temple Open House


The Draper Temple


Our Krew-notice we didn't want to move to far away from the cookie table:)


Most of Clare and Cindy's Family...All we were missing was Brad, Rudy and Chris


Cindy with all her grandkids. I love what is going on between Kelbee and Raimee. It's so typical!

What a fabulous day this was to be able to go the the Temple with my little family. As we were walking through, the girls kept going really fast and I had to slow them down a lot because I wanted to be able to explain things to them. But when we got to the Celestial Room they stopped at the door and their mouths dropped open. As we all went in together, what an overwhelming feeling it was to know that this is how it will be when we live with Heavenly Father and Jesus again. I am truly grateful for the knowledge that I have been given and that I can go to such a sacred place and help others have the same opportunity to be with their loved ones for Eternity!

AUGH!!!


I wanted to see if my new camera was working...unfortunately, it was!!
