Macey's Blessing Day

I am so grateful for the priesthood and the blessings it brings to our lives.

I am so grateful we have a priesthood holder in our home who we can call on to give us those blessings from our Heavenly Father.

Today Macey was able to receive some of those blessings. Michael did a wonderful job. In the blessing he mentioned how Macey has been a sweet spirit to have in our home. She will be a great example for Liam and help bring peace into our home and family. Our hopes for your future are to stay strong in the Gospel and to find a righteous husband to take you to the temple.

Macey's blessing dress was made by a friend in our ward, Kaitlin Madson. She made it from my wedding dress that was just sitting in the closet collecting dust. This was the most perfect way to use my dress and it turned out so cute. Now Macey has a keep sake from me and can now pass it on to her kids. Even the headband is made from my dress. I am so happy how it turned out. We even have left overs to do another 2 dresses depending on if I have more girl.

If I have boys we can make bowties.

Your blessing day was a special and lovely day Macey. We are so happy to have you in this family. You fit perfectly in it, we love you so much princess.

Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here! My favorite season has finally arrived. There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping! Michael and I love camping. Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores that get me excited to camp. This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU. Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit. Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first. I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better. After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain. You can see all of Utah Valley from up there. Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest that camping is not what you want to be doing. ...

A THANKSGIVING FULL OF FAMILY & LAUGHTER

I was so excited when I found out my family was able to go to Moses Lake for Thanksgiving! Tualatin is only 4.45 hours away from Moses Lake, so once they said they said they were going, Michael and I were definitely going too. We had so much fun with the family, but missed Kelsey and her husband a lot! Hopefully next holiday season they will be able to get more time off from the Marines. So one of the nights we were there we all played Heads Up (The app game Ellen Degeneres made that is like charades.) We seriously all about pee'd our pants we were dying of laughter! By far one of the funnest game nights I have had in a while! I was able to catch a few of them on video, but I definitely missed the funniest ones. Here is a look at our crazy and awesome family! Justin and Dad Michael and Uncle Corby Seriously though if you are looking for something fun to do with a bunch of people, this is it my friends!! Do it. I absolu...

A Weekend With Family & Friends

There is nothing better than spending time with friends and family. I cherish every moment I get with them. Never take time with your family for granted because you can never get that time back. I am the most happy when I am around family. My goal this year is to try to be around family as much as I can because those are the memories I want to remember the most. Here are some pictures of the awesome weekend with family and friends. .......... We got to go to the Ogden Raptors vs. the Idaho Falls Chuckers game with our friends Ben and Rachel As of lately Zupas soup, salad & sandwiches has become one of my favorite places to eat, so before going to the game I made everyone eat at Zupas with me. such good food!! Overall it was a really great time with our awesome friends. and of course I was cheering for the Chuckers... even though they lost. The girls got to come so it was fun having them ...
