My Beautiful Nieces

Aren't my sister's kids gorgeous?!  I LOVE them beyond words.  They are each so different and I enjoy living so close to be able to be a part of their lives on almost an everyday basis.

Easter 2013

Easter always brings sweet memories for me.  I LOVED Easter as a kid.  We used to go to my Great Grandma's in West Layton to participate in a huge candy hunt with all of my Grandma's siblings, kids and grandkids.  Five years ago it brought with it new memories - since that is the day Steve asked me to be his wife!  I remember it like it was yesterday.  I love Easter for many reasons - but I can't help but feel very grateful for a Savior that made it possible for me to enjoy so many wonderful things in this life.  We had fun this year, as always.  We woke up to a few surprises from the Easter bunny, then headed to church, followed by dinner and an easter egg hunt at my Grandma's.  Fun day...and might I mention, gorgeous weather (for a March Easter in Utah, that is saying something!)














March 14th - Harley Jean

We welcomed another member to our extended family in March.  Baby Harley was born on March 14th @ approximately 5pm.  I had the most amazing experience of being able to be there in the room when she was born.  It was so neat to watch and experience that miracle....and it truly is a miracle!  With the inability to have children of my own, and not being able to be present for the birth of Jake, my sister thought I would like to experience that process, that miracle.  I am grateful beyond belief for allowing me to share in that special moment with her and her husband.  Harley is Jenn's 3rd girl and I love her as much as I love the other 2!  She is sweet, very mild tempered, and is starting to have the cutest smile and coo.  Grateful for my family - every one of them!
