Old Missouri Friends June 2009

Leslie and Yvonne. Two friends from my mission in Springfield, Missouri Institute and Branch. It was a lot of fun to visit them. Leslie was visiting from Texas so we all met at Yvonne's in Utah.

Meet the Family

Life is busy. Who's isn't?! We have a wonderful family (extended included). We're trying to stay afloat with all the unknowns in the future and living each day the best we know how.
We're going into summer of 2012 with 3 growing happy kids. They keep life fun and interesting. You never know what's going to come out of any of them but you do know that it'll keep you on your toes.

Kimmie is a BIG help for us. She loves to help daddy do ANYthing. She gets straight A's in school and takes piano lessons. She is trustworthy and honest and a leader for good in her little body. We love her very much.

Jacob is our clown. He loves to keep us laughing. We can't keep a serious face when he is in the room. He is cuddly and loves to have lots of attention. He is also the top of his pre-school class excited for Kindergarten in the Fall. We love him tons.

Austin is our "Big Block of Love". He is solid and strong. He isn't afraid to show what he loves. He's got the "goofy" of Jacob, the "brains" of Kimmie and the Fun Cute Personality all his own. He is physically so strong it amazes us. He is also fearless and will jump off of anything and loves to climb the gate to get into the front yard. He's our "into everything every second" child....only he's the 3rd. :) We love him to pieces and enjoy seeing our baby grow.

Mom (I) Love being the woman of the house. I do so many things to keep it running. I gain more appreciation each day for what my Mom did. She did and still does, SO MUCH for me. I didn't realize that the Mother is the one going to school and taking the piano lessons. The Mom is the one cleaning up after everyone and everything. I also learned that by doing all of these things the feelings turn to love and service for those I do everything for. (Along with trying to teach them to do them for themselves ie. make their own bed, pick up own toys etc.).

Daddy works hard every single day for our wonderful family. Even if he's under the weather or doesn't feel like working he does because he loves all of us. He works just as hard being a Dad as he does making a living for us. The kids all LOVE when Daddy Comes Home! Austin always runs to him and says, "Dad--eeee!"
