My Parent's Baptism

This last weekend was an experience I never thought I would have. My parents had chosen to be baptized so me and the family headed to Oregon for the weekend. On Saturday we went to the State Fair and then that evening was their baptism. I was surprised at how many people showed up. My friends and members from the ward were there to give their support and love. My friend Andrea was even able to be there from New Mexico and Stephanie came from Rexburg. I still really don't know how to describe my feelings but it was a great day. My Dad was glowing with excitement and Mom seemed very happy. I look forward to what the next year brings and if they will continue to grow and strengthen in the gospel. The Temple is the next step and I look forward to the blessing that ca bring them and myself.

Russell's 1st Day of Preschool

Well my little Russell has now started preschool! I can't believe how fast my boys are growing up. Russell has been very excited to be able to go to preschool and his teacher said he did very well for being one of the youngest in his class. Now Samuel and Russell will be gone on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:30 - 3:00 p.m. and it will just me and baby James at home.

A Great Couple

So I have been thinking lately about life and the events that happen along the way. For me my life has turned out for the most part how I had hoped it would. I am a wife and mother. I think these were the 2 things I wanted most out of life. Most the women I know want the same things. I have come to learn that life doesn't always allow the same opportunities to everyone. I have a wonderful sister-in-law who is a great friend to me that has not had the opportunity to have children of her own. Mandy and her husband Jake are amazing, loving, kind, caring people. I wanted to share their link with everyone in the hopes that their lives may be blessed.


My sister-in-law Mandy and brother-in-law Jake.

They have been able to adopt one little boy, Luke, who just turned 2 in July. They are currently looking to adopt another baby. Here is their link to the adoption site, https://www.itsaboutlove.org/ial/profiles/23028372/ourMessage.jsf Mandy and Jake live in Idaho and are members of the LDS Church. Mandy is a stay at home mom and Jake drives truck. Mandy is one of the few people I trust leaving my children with. I know they will be trated with love and kindness and my kids love going over to stay there. As I have watch Mandy and Jake raise Luke I have seen the love they have for him and their desire to adopt a sibling for him. They are great parents and wonderful people. Feel free to check out their profile and pass their information along.
