Once upon a time we lived in Irving and Coppell Texas.

-The house on the left was the house where we lived when we had Alissa and Kenzie.

-The house on the right was the house where I was pregnant with Taft. We moved the night before he was born.
-The house below was where my mom lived for over 3 years. We lived with her some of that time. It was where Kenzie was born, where we were told we would lose him, where Alissa learned to run, where we learned and grew as a family.  In February I got to go back and visit all of them for the first time in six years. Wow how the memories flowed of walks along the river way and a simpler time. Such a blessing to visit those memories!

Just Because.....

Sometimes adorable little girls pick flowers for you just because. Emily likes to pick flowers for me pretty much everyday and it is adorable and sweet! Her favorites are the little white and pink ones on the side of the house. I am so blessed by her spunky giving personality!

Everyday Life!

Somedays, we make dinner as a family and it feels great!

Somedays, we get into moms makeup to look pretty and then end up getting laughed at when we feel beautiful.

Then we feel sad. :(

Somedays, we go be crazy at the park!

Some days, we go for ice cream dates as a family!

Alissa as The First Lady!

Alissa planned this whole thing on her own!

Savoring the Moments

Well, I just got home from my first Diamond Club trip to Oakland/San Fransisco area. You sure learn a lot about yourself when you go out into the "real" world. It was so hard to leave my sweet family. I missed them terribly, they have been my life for so many years and I would do anything for them! 

The trip went well, we had a great class and the meet up was good! It made me appreciate my life and my religion even more then ever. I did not realize how different it is out there in the world. I am glad I have the gospel and my family to give me guidance and direction in my life. I came home Sunday and saw this cute girl and watched this amazing father snuggle his baby girl. Counting my blessings!
