Oquirrh Mountain Temple Celebration

I had the great privilege of going to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Celebration at the Conference Center. It was so good. It was amazing to see the youth of the church excited to celebrate our new temple. It was especially neat to see the Salt Lake Temple all lit up after the event. It was such a pretty night!

Here's a picture of Me & Allison. Allison was a "temple mom" and helped get kids from the ward to practice several times. I was just there for support, and I was so glad to have been there! (I had a pretty depressing summer, and as you can see, I put on a few pounds...BOO HOO!).

This is a picture of some of the cute kids in our ward, and of course...I was trying to be a "teenager" in between Andrea and Meagan.

I'm not sure why Amanda looks so sad in this picture... It was a fun night!

Mothers Day 09

We had our family pictures taken for Mothers Day this year. It's always a little stressful getting together with family, getting organized, looking decent, and getting good pictures. Here are a few snapshots from the event. The actual pictures I will have to post later when I get them, but here's a few from the day.




We had our pictures taken, then we all headed over to Tucano's. Yes, that is my little man, Jaxon eating the Chicken Hearts! Yummm!

Remembering Dad

It was one year ago today that dad passed away. I have needed him so much in my life since he's been gone. I think about him everyday. I was so lucky to have the father that I did in my life. I know he's watching out for me and my family.

I can remember going to my Grandma & Grandpa's graveside with my dad. He would cry, and then I would cry, and he would tell me how much he missed his mom & dad. It wasn't until I went to see him this week that I fully understood how he felt and what he meant. I took Jaxon, and I cried, and then Jaxon cried.

I came across this website when I was doing some research on coupon clipping (I am working on it...getting a little better). This website has TONS of yummy recipes and lots of shortcuts, so I thought I would share. I am always inspired by real moms who can cook...I am a complete disaster in the kitchen!

I have also been getting some information on the Grocery Smart Stuff...now that is my kind of thinking!!!
