Mother's Day

Mother's Day was a great day! Church was good, and spending time with both mine and Steven's mothers was perfect. I have a great mother in law who raised my husband into the awesome man that he is. And for that I thank her. My mom is the strongest woman I know, and that is a fact. She deals with so much everyday, and she still puts everyone above herself. She is so selfless, and loves her family with her whole heart! I look up to her more than she knows, and I truly hope I can be like her! My children adore her, they always ask if it's the day we can go over to Ftn. Green. I am so glad they love it there as much as I do. I admire my mom. I remember growing up with a mom who had a love for the scriptures, who did everything to teach her family the Gospel. She loves her Savior, and she helped plant the seed in me to help me come to love my Savior. I am so grateful for that. The Gospel is so important, and she taught me that, and I hope my children will also learn that from me. I love you Mom! As for me; well I love being a mom. I honestly truly love it. Growing up I knew one thing for sure, and that was that I wanted to be a mother. I had changed what I wanted my career to be several times, but I never strayed from the fact that I wanted to become a mom. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for that opportunity. Truthfully being a mother is HARD. There are a lot of days when I feel like a failure, where I don't feel like I am cut out for the job, and then my girls tell me how much they love me, or Jace cries for his Mom, and I know that at some point I got something right. I am so blessed to be able to stay home with them everyday and watch them grow. I am so grateful my children chose me to be their mom. They are perfect for me. I never in my life thought I would have twins, but I am so thankful I do. My girls have become my best friends. They know me so well, and they especially know my heart. And my buddy Jace has his mommy wrapped around his finger, he is my little mommy's boy. I love my children, and even on the hardest days, they make it all worth it. I could look at their sweet little faces all day! I just hope I can be the mother that they deserve, and the mother that can teach them to love the Savior, as my mom, and Steven's Mom have taught us. I hope my kids know how much they are loved!

Payson Temple

I have been so so excited to take my girls to the Payson Temple open house. They love the Temple and always talk about going inside someday. It is such a testimony builder to see the love they already have for Temples. It was so beautiful and I'm so glad we got to go with our little family and also my parents!

My baby is on the move

My little buddy is on the move! Don't ask my how this happened to fast! He should still be my cuddly little newborn, instead he is crawling around and standing up next to everything. He has been trying so hard all month to move around, so I am happy for him that he is happy :) He is already wanting to do things with his sisters, and get into their stuff. They are not so sure about his crawling anymore. Next thing I know he will be running after them. I'm just grateful he still likes to give his mom cuddles, and spends most of his time climbing on me. Love you bud!




Steven's birthday

I am late in posting, but wanted to brag about my husband for a minute. His birthday was on the 23rd and we celebrated with Chinese food and Cheesecake. We are still waiting to go pick out his suit, but the girls got him some cookie dough Oreos :) 
I am so thankful for Steven! He is such a blessing in my life. He has always been my rock, and always there to pick me up when I'm feeling down. He works his butt off everyday to provide for his family. He amazes me, and just let me tell ya, he is an amazing father!!! His children adore him. They always get excited to ride their bikes to the farm to see him, or love hiding and scaring him when he gets home. Jace looks a lot like his handsome daddy! I love you Steven and am so grateful you are mine!
