What's on my Happy List?

Hannah's Baptism


Pictures used for Hannah's Baptism Invites....

More pic's from our photo shoot....

Congratulations to my sweet, precious Hannah on
becoming a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.
What a blessing this will be in your life.








Kyleigh gave a talk on Baptism and the
KEY reasons why we need to enter the
waters of baptism, the KEY things that
Heavenly Father promises us as well as
the KEY covenants we make with him. She
presented Hannah with this keepsake
KEY to remind her not only has she made
a KEY choice in choosing to become baptized
but that she now has the KEY to open
the gates of heaven...as she is now one step closer
to being able to return to live with Heavenly
Father someday and having eternal life.


Emma did a wonderful job on her talk about the
Holy Ghost. She did an object lesson that I don't think
Hannah will soon forget. It involved a rock....and
Hannah is a rock collector!



What Heaven Sees in You....

Hannah's 8th Birthday Party


Come "Rock" with us


At Scofield West


We'll have a blast


On our Mountain quest.......


Hannah loves rocks so we decided to have a ROCK


themed birthday party for her. We took her and a few of her


friends up to Scofield for the day to rock hunt on the beach,


ride ATV's, play in the water, have a bbq and campfire s'mores.


The girls trying to find the polished rocks I had hidden...




The girls loved playing in the water


even though it was freezing!








The girls ready for the highly anticipated ATV ride..





Hannah cracking open a geode...the girls loved


finding the crystals inside. We had a rock'in time!



Seeing David Archuleta at church...


and getting his autograph!!! How that all came to


be is quite an amusing story that I won't get into...


I'm keeping mum for the record not only to save me


any further embarrassment but because I know I


nor Heather will ever forget that experience. I just


wish something intelligent could have come out of


my mouth when I had the chance to talk with him. LOL
















Kyleigh's 6th Grade Graduation


Kyleigh had a fantastic year. Great memories.


Fabulous teacher. During promotion she was


presented with the Presidential Gold Award...


straight A's from 4th thru 6th Grade.


Way to go girl!





Kyleigh with her teacher Ms. A




Pic's with some of her best friends...




Am I really old enough to have


a daughter going into Junior High?


Yikes!!!!




Bubba's Arrival




A new cousin and nephew to love...


What a cutie!



Mother's Day


Okay, I know I'm a little behind as Mother's Day was


over a month ago but I HAD to post this picture not only


because I love this French painting, it's one of my all time


favorites, but because it explains how I feel about my four


beautiful daughters. They are my jewels!















Noël Hallés painting illustrates this principle with the help


of an image drawn from Roman history. The widow Cornelia,


daughter of a great warrior, receives an ostentatiously dressed


visitor. In response to the rich fabrics and the precious jewellery


of the visitor, Cornelia, referring to her children, asserts ‘These


are my jewels.’ Cornelia is the supreme example of the virtuous


mother, who places the emotional, intellectual and moral needs


of her children above materialism. Note her simple clothing and


hair and her inquisitive, upright children; two of them, Tiberius


and Gaius, would go on to become great leaders.






Emma does an awesome job setting the table on Sundays.


Mother's Day Sunday was extra special with handmade


origami at each table setting. This girl has an eye for detail!







Am I feeling the love or what?
