I love to see the temple......

We had a great day at the temple last weekend and got to share a perfect day with my sister and her family.

Here is the handsome guy! He was so good and those blue eyes melt my heart!

Also this sweet girl was a star as she watched over her brother and posed for a cute pic. She was so beautiful in her princess dress.

I am so grateful to have a forever family and be a part of this forever family. What a memory and unbelievable day as they said his sweet name to be in their family!!!!!

Love you guys

Rain drops are fallin on my head!

Well this is what happens when your mom is busy on a Saturday and lets the kids play in the rain. First they were asking if they could go out and feel the rain drops. I obliged and off they went. Then minutes later they were at the door asking if they could take their shirts off. Quickly after that it was their pants. I said yes and hopefully no one was looking we only have one neighbor. They were having the best time

Being siblings is so special especially when they have such fun together and they did. They were even laughing as they threw mud. That was quickly stopped by me, but fun was still had by all involved.

M was queen of the world as she showed me her muscles. She wants to do anything J is doing and mud and sitting in puddles is what transpired. She had on yellow underwear, but it will never look clean again, and J's are dingy forever too! Oh well they can be camping pants now!

J came in after the no pants were approved and states" M just took her underwear off" I quickly put a stop to that and explained the gross water is very dirty.

What a great day!

I'm one!

Here is a peek at our little sweetie! She got a photo shoot on her b-day in her new special outfit!

Turns 1!!!!!!!

W is one!!!!! A lot has happened since this little gal entered the world. She has touched the lives of many with her sweet shy grin and loud squeal.

She crawls "army style" all over the house. She has even managed to learn the step up and down.

She has learned to say hi and wave and bye bye. She loves to hold the phone and babble to it usually no one is there.

She is a great sitter and sleeper and has been for awhile now. She also loves to eat, anything and everything and will continue to eat until the food is no longer in sight.

She loves to be cute and smile and has her dad wrapped so tight around her finger. She loves music and starts movin whenever she hears it. She loves the social life and wants to be with someone always, usually mom.

She has a great time with her brother and sister and they adore her and kiss and hug on her all day. She is one of the greatest joys I have and I can't imagine life without her! Love you W, Happy Birthday!

Colorado

Here is the Stanley Steamer and Mr Stanley himself we went on a little car ride and I wished my kids were there to ride as it putted along and squealed with the steam.

So Colorado was a great break and FREEDOM!!!!! I was allowed to sleep in, worry about only me getting ready in the am, only have a purse on hand if needed, no one to share with, and lots of quiet.(that was missed a lot I must say)

We ate great food, hung out with the funniest company, and were part of a phenomenal cause.

We ran into this big guy on the golf course in Estes Park. A lot of shopping was had and many taste testing sessions at all of the candy shops.

I got to spend some quality time with my parents that I will treasure. Not very ofter being an adult do you go on a trip with just your parents very special!!!!

Got to cheer on my sweet prego cousin as she walked in the 60 mile trek!!!!! She was a trooper and was actually hospitalized the first day. She recovered and finished with the last of em! I am so grateful for her and the motivation and inspiration she gives me. She is one of a kind and I love her lots!!!! I was able to walk a couple miles with her and what an honor to see and witness daughters, sisters, mothers, fathers, and husbands walking for this awful disease of breast cancer. I hope to walk those long memorable 60 miles one day, what an experience. I was changed for good this weekend and am so grateful for the new lease on life and rejuvenation it gave me!!!!

Molly Golly

Yes that is what our Gramps called her! She is a happy wonderful sister and her birthday is here!!!!! She is a great 28!

I was lucky enough to spend the morning with her and have a yummy breakfast and of course shopping!!!! We always have a fun time chattin it up, getting good deals, and I feel great in her company!

I am so grateful for her and her wonderful example and advice in my life.

Everyone needs a sister or someone close like a sister.

She is someone to laugh with, be silly with, talk to, cry with, vent to, feel comfortable with, help me out, not be judged by, take trips with, support me in labor, love my kids as her own, love me, know me better than almost my husband does, and makes me happy and a better person when I'm around her!!!

I am proud to be her sister and I couldn't ask for anyone better! Hope you have a good one!

Love ya!!

Bowling with Dad

Two great friends watched their Dad's get strikes and spares and hung out together.
