V Day at home


A candlelight dinner for all of our love bugs on Valentines!


Paris


Preston


Cheers to love!

Jared made a beautiful dinner of: steak, cajun grilled shrimp, squash, broccoli, fresh pineapple and Grandpa's famous juice. It was so good! I set the table with the gorgeous roses Jared got me, and lots of candles! The kids loved it- our first family V day dinner was fun and a bit chaotic... love is in the air!

World Market


Jared, Jenny and Jack outside one of my favorite vendors!
A cool bed we were scouting for a friend.


Crib for Annie.
Outside the market buildings... it was FREEZING in Vegas!


Happy Jack Jack!


For Valentine's Jared took me to Las Vegas to do something I LoVe doing... shopping! It was so fun to look at all the neat stuff. We went with my Mom and Dad- we had so much fun! We had to tote little Jack around- and he was a perfect angel. Jared surprised me when he actually admitted to having fun, and saying that we could come back again! I just loved being there with Jared and my parents- so fun! Jared bought me some REALLY cool pieces!

A New Year 2009!

Some of our family goals for 2009:

Have dinner as a family 5 nights a week.

Save money.

FHE.

Go on a family vacation.


Goals from our Stake Presidency:

Be Close to the Temple.

Heed the voice of the prophets.

Hold Fast to Hope.

Preach the Gospel.

As we start the new year- I just want to send out my love and my testimony. I want to live a good life. A happy, peaceful life filled with love and wonderful memories. I have hope that our families, our friends, our church, our belief in Jesus Christ, our country and our leaders will help us in living our best lives. I want to be surrounded by my children and my husband, and have the constant presence of the spirit in my life. I know Christ lives. I know he is real. I can feel his spirit and his hand pulling me along. I am thankful for my dear, sweet mother who taught and continues to teach me about life and the important things. I am thankful for her influence and friendship. I can strive each day to be better. I love my family. My wonderful, hardworking, honest and kind husband was meant for me- without him, I'd crumble. My children are my life blood- they keep me happy, busy and motivated that life is worth every second! I am aware of my real friends- those kindred spirits who are beautiful inside and out- who emit goodness from all aspects of their lives. Thanks to all of you- for being a part of my life and for enriching the lives of my family! Cheers to an even better 2009! LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT!

this is so my life. i don't ever really complete a coherent sentence. i video my kids, teach, dance, sing, bathe my baby, repeat myself, yell (somedays more than others), snuggle, wipe noses, wipe tears, giggle with my girls, play tag with Preston, laugh, cry, drive here and there, talk to my mom, love, talk to my husband about the mail, cook, feed kids. i am queen of multitasking... or at least maid servant.

Our daily life

Our life is crazy with paje 6, preston and paris 3, ava 1 and jack 7 mo. But, I love it! A picture says 1ooo words.... enjoy.

Jack
















our sweet baby Jack could not get any easier! He eats when he's hungry, he's always happy and content, and if he's sleepy, he SLEEPS- of course! I feel so blessed to be the mommy of 5 such incredible little people! Jared and I have talked about the possibility of Jack being our last baby, so I'm trying my best to savor these wonderful, warm and perfect little moments of heaven with my baby boy.
