Abby's Baptism Day

Abby's baptism was such a special day. Kyle and I had been having special meetings with Abby the few months leading up to her baptism. We would go through the lessons in "Preach My Gospel" to help her better understand the decision she was making. It was so neat to hear how knowledgable she was about the gospel and hear her sweet testimony.

I hope she always remembers this day and how she felt. She is beautiful, inside and out. She really wants to follow Christ and help others. She is such a blessing in our lives.

Her day was very peaceful and everything went really smoothly. We were lucky to be the only ones in our ward getting baptized that day. So it felt a little more personal. She had an amazing amount of ward and family support. It was amazing to feel the love for our sweet girl. 

We decided to do a dessert party that evening and it was so fun! I had so much fun prepping for it. Abby helped me choose the desserts and helped me make them. 

Before the dessert party we went to see Toy Story 4. They had a craft making these cute little Forky toys. Then we went to MOD pizza for dinner as a family. It was so fun! Just the best day. 

I hope my girls know the testimony I have of the gospel. I know God lives and that he loves me and each of them. They are such special spirits. I know that as they look to follow his teachings that they will live a life full of purpose and love.

June 2019

June was a fantastic month! This summer has been non stop crazy. 

It feels like we haven't stopped moving since school got out. We are making some pretty awesome memories. 

I love making fun pancakes for the girls and they are starting to get good at making their own shapes. Our favorites are making snowmen, hearts and stars. 


This is truth. 


I helped put together the summer raffle for Shalimar. So fun! 


this baby was so cute during swim lessons! 


She is beautiful. I can't believe I get to keep her forever! 


I bought myself a little birthday gift. I did a makeup consult. It was so much fun! I really learned how to do my make up, what products I need/don't need. 


Abby got her scriptures and scripture case! 


We love swimming at Memas



We went on a fun family outing to indoor mini golf. 



This little girls gets worn out easily when she is trying to keep up with her sisters all day. 


Abby keeping everyone busy by reading to them while I make dinner. 


I went on the funnest girls night out with some ladies from my ward. 



The girls were in a two week musical theater camp. It was the best ever!!! They all did so well!! The performance was incredible. One of the best days of my parenting life. 





All the amazing women in my girls lives that came out to support them! 



Kyle was able to go to the API and got back in the afternoon on Father's Day. We had some little surprises waiting for him. 


She's so cute! 


I'm in love with my chalk board and decorating it for every single season/holiday



She loves this dress that Nettie gave her! 


Eliza and Kamden

I love looking back at all these pictures. Life can feel so overwhelming and a little rough sometimes. I am so grateful that I get to carry around a camera all day that lets me capture so many of the happy moments.  

I just want to remember this little face. She is the happiest, busiest baby. We all adore her. 

This sweet, emotional little girl has my heart. 



Jane is such a good big sister. She always tries to include Eliza. 


End of the year concerts!!! They were epic and awesome. Juliet was so enthusiastic, and Abby was so graceful! I just love these two and how they express themselves. 




I helped my mom for her "mom" event. It was such an incredible night with amazing speakers. I was in charge of all the food! It all turned out amazing. 







I love this woman. I am so grateful that I have a mother that understands the importance of her role. 


I love being able to fulfill my role as a mother. Raising these sweet babies is the best! Ever! 





I love this man. He works so hard to be the best he can be. He puts us girls first in everything. I am learning how to be more selfless from him. 



Look at those little teeth!! 


I organized the den to get it ready for lots and lots of crafting this summer. We have big plans. 


Super hero day at school! 


Abby got to bring in a birthday treat to her class. Man I love her. This is her standing in the front while everyone sang to her. 



She thinks she is big stuff. 



I love how creative these girls are! 


Eliza is going to get soooooooo much help through life. 


The weather was incredible this year!! We had so many park days.  


All day. every day.


I love how she started doing the peace sign every time we take a picture.


KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION!!! I can't believe it. She is growing way too fast. Kindergarten was a great year for her. She did so well and was always happy and positive. 



Miss Mason! 





We loved getting to watch daddy a couple of times at his softball games!

Us three went to run the Bolder Boulder with Kylee and Jolene. It was a blast! 


Colorado is beautiful! 



Seriously so fun! 


backyard playing! This was the first and last time we did this. Something happened to the water valve a few days after this and we had zero water outside. It was rough, but ultimately we decided to totally redo the backyard. It looks amazing!! 



Splash days! 



We love crafting! We did so much of it this summer. 


Abby caught a little friend. They were so sad when we had to release him.
