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!

Blessed to Love Papa Ooh Ooh

 AKA Grandpa Luke!


This man is such a wonderful Grandfather to these boys!

They have so much fun with him!

And I have so much fun watching them have fun together!



They look up to him both literally (for now) and figuratively!

And I could not be more thrilled!

I am so blessed to be married for all eternity to him!

'Two' Cute!

 


and ALL boy! Our Oliver is so adorable - even though he likes Grandpa Luke better!

He loves all things that might be considered a vehicle - cars, trucks, lawn mowers, tractors... When we went to the farm, Oliver did like the animals, but he loved sitting on the tractors!


And he loves 'giving rides' to all of his toys. 


He is growing up fast - but growing well!


I am so blessed to be his grandmother!

 Our Rylee Sue is five!


She is such a sweetheart! Rylee loves her family. She always tells me how happy she is when I visit or when she comes to visit me. Rylee just loves being with her family!




I am so blessed to have this girl in my life!

This beautiful girl turned 9 - already! Time goes so fast any more.

We love Claire so much. She is so fun loving and always learning.

I am so grateful to have this grand in my life and that she allowed me to be one of my favorite things - a grandmother!

There Really is Beauty All Around

 especially this time of year!



The flowers are out everywhere!


Plants are flourishing despite the bugs and weeds!


And the front yard project is complete! (Here's to hoping at least some of the weeds stay away...)

I am so blessed to live in such a beautiful place!
