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!

My Girls Just Know How to Have Fun!!!

Love these girls!


And they are getting so grown up! A day like this one makes me wish for time to slow down already!


Hours spent just listening to all of their news while enjoying treats...


watching them think of fun things to do like hide and seek in a backyard without real hiding places...


pinwheel blowing competitions...



And just time being together. I hope to make the time for more days like this! I am so blessed!

One of the Best Perks of Marrying my Husband?

His Parents!


I met them after Luke and my 2nd date... he didn't have transport and needed a ride 'home' (his parents' home at the time.) They came in as we pulled up. They were both just wonderful to me from the start!

In fact, they both hoped Luke would marry me before he had made up his mind! Luke's dad was kind enough to refer to me as 'gold' and others Luke was talking with as 'silver'. - very sweet, I thought!

Anson and Dee are the perfect in laws for me! They are kind, loving, and always there to support both Luke and I in whatever way needed.

I am so very blessed to have great in-laws!
