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!

Family Filled Week!

It has been a great week!

First, Charly and Ben celebrated their anniversary with us last Sunday. Even got some time with Jon.

Then Josh will be staying with us for a while. It will be an adjustment for all of us- but the joy in Luke's eyes when he thinks of this wonderful young man makes it an easier adjustment.



Then both Abby and Scott graduated from BYU!!! (more pictures to come). So much fun to spend time with them- and some grands!

To top it off, we were able to celebrate both Cassie and Allen's birthdays with pizza from The Pie and time with their family!


And real life 'hop on pop'!

I am blessed to have such a great family!

Only Six Long, Short Years Ago.....


Met this amazing man for the first time in the same spot we took this picture a couple of years later!

Best decision I made in online dating: meeting this man! I am blessed.

Another ONE!


Olivia is one! And such a darling too!



She is all smiles!

And even puts up with Parker wanting to hold 'the baby'- referring to Olivia, of course.


They look about the same size in this blurry selfie...

Can't wait to see Olivia's smile again soon.
