Why this blog...

I am the mother of the three most talented, intelligent and beautiful children ever to live on this earth. I am also privileged to be married to the most wonderful man! He has added three additional talented, intelligent and beautiful children to our family! I have a job that I mostly love, a wonderful education, a beautiful home, marvelous family, and I have the privilege of belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been greatly blessed in my life, but I sometimes forget that. So, I decided to create this blog as a way to remind myself of all the many blessings and miracles that surround me. (I'm also terrible at keeping a journal- so this will be something for my kids to enjoy as well.)

I hope you enjoy what you read. I would love to hear what you think!

Last Hurrah of Summer!

It was back to work I went this past week... but I had an amazing weekend full of friends and family before heading back!


Claire's newest expression! Gotta love it!!

The kids and many of Luke's family were able to come over to celebrate this one turning 1!


 I think grand-pops enjoyed the day...


reading together on the floor- how precious!


I just love the look she is giving Luke!

Leslie's family even came from North Dakota- so good to see them!

Ashtyn (and the rest of us) finally met Nate!

yeah, not so impressed...

And we got creative celebrating Brynndi!




A very busy but FUN weekend of family! 

I miss them all already...

And a big CONGRATULATIONS to Jared on earning his master's degree!

I am so blessed to have so many in my life who love me!
