We are so lucky and blessed to have a Temple so close to home!

It is amazing how we can be loved so much that He wants us to be able to feel of His love for us and that we can feel so close to Him.

The kids are getting so big! I know that I take a picture in front of the fountain just about every month. That's because it is one of my favorite spots, besides I love to look back and see the changes in my wonderful kids that on a day to day basis tend to get over looked.

It is almost Spring and the flowers and trees are bursting with vibrant colors.

Such a wondrous sight!

The Temple grounds are so beautiful and peaceful. They are my favorite place to go with my family. To be able to walk around and partake of the Spirit and the glory is at times overwhelming, there is so much to see, to hear, and to feel.

It's time to head home, memories have been made, and in time will be cherished by all. I am so thankful that I have been blessed with a wonderful husband, who is so understanding and thoughtful. Who goes out of his way to insure of my happiness; and to have be entrusted with four gifts from Heavenly Father that keep me on my toes, cause me to worry, and at times cry. I would wish t no other way. For I know that it is through the trials that we face each day we are made stronger, and as long as we endure to the end doing all that we possibly can Jesus will make up the difference and all will be well.

Jan

A new year has just begun and so has all the fun! January has been a busy month for us, way too much to do! From adding a new member to the fam, haircuts, Birthdays, sledding, choosing classes for next year...whew...what a month! Many memories made to cherish! Hope you are healthy and happy and that 2010 is starting out great for you!

Tahoe fun!

We were able to get away for a weekend as a family and hit the mountains! What a blast beautiful home, trees, trees, and more trees. Lets not forget about all the lovely snow! The kids made sled runs in the yard and pulled each other down. They saw HUGE icicles and had a lot of fun! We took a short walk and found the perfect spot to sled, it took some time, but we were able to get all the snow packed down and slick! Marce and Jesse seemed to fly! Then Jason and Toby decided that they needed a jump and climbed higher and made a run off of huge rock! Tobes and Britt tried it and crashed~ We all had a great time, laughing and playing together! Just what family is about.

the crash!

Time for a new do!
Some of you may not know, but Toby and I had a deal. He could grow his hair until just before his 12th Birthday. So his last haircut was in August of 2008.....now it's haircut time!

No he was not too happy about the fact that HC day had come, but hey a deal is a deal. Man what a difference! There was enough hair on the floor to cover quite a few men's heads. I have to say I am proud of my little man, he was such a trooper, just did what had to be done and with no complaints!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOBY!!!



So hard to believe that our little Tobers is now 12!! He got his ice cream cake and got to eat it too! Sweet! We have a Deacon in the house! :0)

New additions =})

Okay so I am one of those people who cannot leave a stray alone on the street in the dark of the morning in the winter. This is Zeezrom I found him on my way home from taking Jesse to Seminary. We put an add in the paper looking for his owners, no luck! He is as sweet as can be and has quickly become one of the fam. So now we have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a lizard named Cricket! I just love it!
