Awesome Family

I have been looking through old pictures and videos lately and have come to the very real conclusion that I have an AWESOME family!! I feel like it has been quite a while since I have stepped back from the day to day and really looked at each member of my family. I have been so blessed. GREEN is such a great guy. He is always there to tell me to take a breath and cool down. He is helpful around the house and always has a project going that helps make life better and makes me happy!! YELLOW is the brains. This kid knows things I am surprised at. (In a good way) Helping him with book reports and watching him grow up and do more without being asked has really brought a smile to my face. BLUE keeps our house covered in beautiful pictures. He has such enthusiasm that sometimes I flinch at the noise. He will ever be our little cowboy. RED is princess everything!! She loves dresses and sings and dances her way through the days. I love to listen to her and her little sister play. My sweet baby BROWN is such a sweetheart. She likes to help around the house and tells fun stories to make everyone laugh.
What a wonderful blessing they are in my life. I hope you all take a minute to step back and look at the wonderful things in your home.

Temple Trip

I think spring has finally sprung in our little paradise. We took a little trip to the temple to walk around and get some of those winter jitters out. Here is the highlight:


Families are FOREVER!!

I can't even tell you how thankful I am for my family. They have all been really great through some rough times and have loved me in spite of my attitude. As of today I am done babysitting. I can't express the weight that is off my shoulders. I honestly feel like a new woman.

14 Years Later

Well Green and I celebrated our 'IVORY' anniversary yesterday. It is hard to believe that we have been married that long. Because 14 is IVORY I had to really get creative. I gave Green a bar of IVORY soap and invited him to join me for some 'good clean fun.' We went to Desert Star Theater and ate a wonderful meal and then watched Jon Schmidt play/tickle the IVORIES for 2 hours. It was so nice. Here is our latest picture together. I sure love this guy!

4 kids and 14 wonderful years. I am so blessed.

Cut Short

So Red and Brown have been begging to get their hair cut. I was really leery about having it done, but I LOVE it!! Brown used to cry when we'd comb out her hair. Not any more!! Here is a pic of Brown with her new hair cut on her way to school. I'll have to catch Red later.

Check the knee highs!! I made them!!

Off to school!! What a cutie.

Birthday Girl

Six years ago our little Red joined our family. She came 3 weeks early and was thus our smallest baby. I can remember that sweet little girl having tons of black hair that only curled when it was wet. We brought her home with an IV because of an infection she got from me. (Terrible mom, I know) I loved dressing her up and putting little bows in her hair. Now she is a beautiful little girl who enjoys singing, dancing and playing dogs. What a blessing she has been in our family. I love you Red.

New Parents

10 years ago today Green and I were introduced to the world of parenting. We had prayed and tried and tried and prayed for almost 4 years before we were sent our first little miracle. I can not believe how quickly time has gone by and Yellow has grown. I miss my sweet little chubby Zommie and the wonderful memories made in Portland. (Yes, I still have the memories, but I want to relive them!) Happy Birthday my sweet boy. We love you!
