So we’ve had lots of firsts in our marriage and with our children. We just had our newest first. The youngest child of the family is now 3. That has not happened in the last 12 years. Crazy but true. Read the rest of this entry »

Jaime has been dancing with Mrs. Gentry for 7 years. Niah 2 years. Alix 1 year. I LOVE Mrs. Gentry. She is definitely the last of her kind. She is 88 years old and just LOVES dance.

Much to Niah’s excitement and joy, she lost both of her front teeth in May. She wanted them out so bad she would ask me to tug on them everyday. She just loves to smile that toothless smile and is so cute doing it! Read the rest of this entry »

I love that Utah is close. I love also that you can find cheap plane tickets to Utah too! Because when I realized that I needed a break from life, it was the perfect destination! About 3 years ago I went to Utah and was pregnant with Keri. So even though I was technically by myself, I really wasn’t. So this time, I was really by myself and wow, what a GREAT time!

Easter this year was more low key than usual. In my attempt to focus on the Savior more and Easter being so late, we ended up pushing secular Easter almost completely out the window. Fortunately for me, I have a husband who helps balance me out and a mother-in-law who hasn’t forgotten a holiday yet. I’m so blessed!! Read the rest of this entry »

Milo’s baptism was Saturday April 9 @ 10am. We had such a good turn out. It was a random day and time and so I wasn’t expecting many more than who was on the program and family. But we had about 50 people there. Whoa!! Read the rest of this entry »
