A nice quiet week...






My family LOVES the month of May. We all try to schedule as much into the month as possible. This year was no exception, in fact as the last week was approaching we decided we better cram in a few extra activities. My youngest brother decided to get married on Wednesday. My other brother and his wife decided that moments after the wedding festivities were done that it was time to head to the hospital to have a baby. Not to be left out my sister and I decided that as soon as her family reunion was done that we would have both of our girls baptized. Not too much for a five day period. So, here are a few pictures I managed to snag during our business.

Grandma


How does one begin? Can you ever really understand the memories that run across my mind as I stare at this picture and others like it. This woman gave. That is what she did. She was always giving. I remember asking my mom how I would repay her for her generosity. My mom insisted that neither she or her mom, my Grandma expected repayment. They only expected me to continue sharing all that I have with my children. I can and will do that. I will also try to show them the value of an education, help them see the beauty in the world that surrounds them, and help them to feel the love that comes from spending time with family. I will try to help them understand the excitement she had for missionaries, and why she felt that was such an important work. I will carry on the legacy of love and teasing that she and my Grandpa shared.

Chloe at Costco!!!



Check out my beautiful daughter at a Costco near you!!! (If you live in Utah, and hopefully others.)

While I have NO desire for my children to get into modeling, this is kind of fun. I was able to get some great pictures from Shana Whipple Photography, and I get to brag about how pretty my little girl is.
When I learned they had pictures of her for their new display I had to drag her into the Lehi Costco last weekend. (Even though it will be at our Costco soon.)
