Seminary Preparation Gets A Little Fuzzy



It never fails. As soon as I sit down to start my lesson so do all my children. I would appreciate it if they had some input on the lesson, but most of the time they just cause a distraction. I love my animals. They bring a lot of happiness to my life.

It's My Momma's B-Day!!

Happy Birthday to my Momma!!
My Mom has so many qualities that I admire. She is un-selfish, (sometimes to a fault), generous, caring, humble and so loyal. She is my best friend. I am proud of who she is and very proud to be her daughter!!

Off To School

This past weekend I dropped Husband off at college at BYU-Idaho. He is going to be there for a little over a year. I know what you are thinking... Are they crazy?? And the answer is yes we are! But sometimes when you know that something is supposed to happen you just do it. If you have been catching up with our story you know that his career path has taken a serious dive with the housing market. As we were looking at options, college became the clear, RIGHT, choice. So many things have fallen into place to make this work out but we are so grateful to his parents for assisting with his tuition. This is an exciting time for our family. Although it is going to be hard we know it is worth it.

The Little Angels In My Life

I love my neices. They bring so much joy to my life. In late August I was so blessed to have both of them at my house together.

Ella Celeste
I was so excited to meet Ella for the first time. What a sweet spirit! She is so fun loving. She looks so much like I did as a baby that it is wierd looking at her. She is very determined but gentle at the same time. It is funny how much you can love someone after only meeting them once.



Maddie Lou


When I found out that Heidi was pregnant with Maddie I was so scared that I wasn't going to like her. I don't typically like babies and so it just made me nervous. Boy was I wrong!! I immediately fell in love with her just like I did Ella. Maddie is funny, loud, smart, talkative and kind hearted. I treasure her phone calls, cards, and letters. She makes me laugh everytime I am with her.

Ashlee's In 8th Grade!!






Ashlee started her last year of Junior High School!! Where did the time go? She was so excited to go back to school this year. She loves school and loves the social time she gets there. Although I am sad that she is getting so old (well maybe I am getting so old) I am so proud of her. She is a great girl. When Bill gave her a father's blessing for back to school one of the things he mentioned was that she would have several experiences this year where she would have to act as an example for her friends. I am grateful for the beautiful girl she is and I am excited for her future.
