10 Years of Marriage!!

Today is the 10 year anniversary of our marriage. Wow, how time flies when you're having fun. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband and I wouldn't change anything about him. He is truly my best friend, my confidant, and my everything. Here's to 10 wonderful years and at least another 60 more!!

Mothers Day 2008

I had a great Mothers Day today. After cleaning up things from primary, K had to do some financial work but made it home in record time so we had the afternoon to spend together. The kids all gave me presents that they had made.


Then K made a delicious lasagna dinner for me and a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I wish everyday could be Mothers Day:)

Happy Mothers Day!!

In a tribute to mothers on one occasion, President David O. McKay said:

“She who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions deserves the plaudits and admiration of mankind. But she who would willingly and anxiously rear successfully a family of beautiful healthy sons and daughters whose lives reflect the teachings of the gospel, deserves the highest honors that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In fact, in her high duty and service to humanity, endowing with mortality eternal spirits, she is a co-partner with the Great Creator himself.”

I want to thank my mother for the righteous example she has been to me. You have taught me so many things; to have faith, to work hard, and to be loving. I could not ask for a better mother. I love you.

(Yes, as you can tell from my sister's outfits and the red curtains, I was born in the 70's.)

New Car

Yes, we finally parted ways with the "green machine". With number four on the way we decided it was time to join the ranks of mini-van owners. Here she is.


I'll have to say that I really enjoy having the extra space. The kids like it too. Everytime we get in the car J says, "I like this one, it's so big". The only drawback I've seen so far is that it is hard to back up. I always thought that the rear camera feature was a completely unnecessary feature until now. I understand the need for it when I am backing down an alley not knowing who or what I am taking out in the process.

Anniversary Weekend

We celebrated our 10 year anniversary early this year. I figured I'd feel a little better at 7 months pregnant than I will at 8. The only requirements for where we wanted to go were: somewhere close and somewhere warm. We ended up going to Logan, Utah which is close and the 65 degrees felt really warm to us (kinda sad). It was nice to see that spring has arrived somewhere. The grass was green and all the bulbs were in bloom. We stayed at the Anniversary Inn which was really nice.


We spent most of our first day there rummaging through a huge used bookstore (one of our favorite pass-times) and walking around old town. That evening we got some Chinese food (I've been craving that) and ice cream (not a great diet weekend). The next day we explored Logan Canyon and then we headed home. It was a short trip, but really nice to get away.
