Kami's Wedding

I am so grateful that Heavenly Father never leaves us. Even when bad things happen, he is always guiding our path if we but stay faithful. Kami went through a horrible divorce where her husband broke his vows and strayed away from values they chose to live together. They have a child so no seeing him after was out of the question. He was hateful and mean. It tore Kami up inside having to send her precious girl to be with her father where there were no standards and morals. Three years have passed since then and she has met the most amazing man who wants to be her's. What an emotional expereince to be able to attend and share in their happy day.
Kami and I have always been special friends...I love her and am so happy that she is started her happily ever after!!!

 It was really nice to spend some time with my Momma. It was a pretty day and I always love spending time on the Temple grounds. I have to say this was one of the nicest experiences at a wedding. The workers in the temple didn't rush us, or were never short with us. They let us stay in the temple and look at things and enjoy the moments.I will always recommend to someone to be married in the Manti Temple.

Summer 2013 so far.....

Well we are finally back home and enjoying it very much. The girls are doing the cute little things they do and this momma is just enjoying sitting back and taking it all in.

 This is their favorite thing to do!!! I love to watch them being so happy.

 My little Indian is passing me in the complexion department. She got her daddy's olive skin. One day in the sun and she's brown.

 She is enjoying her front facing seat. I switcher her a the beginning of July and she is loving it now. It took a week for her to like it unlike Addison where it was almost instant.

 Sleeping babies are the best. Whenever we travel to either Grandma's or Gammy's they fall asleep. It's good because Allen and I can talk, but also because it melts my heart to watch them, they are so peaceful!!

There are very few days that the girls don't want to get dressed right when they wake up, but on the occasion they don't , I take advantage of it...MY LITTLE ORPHAN GIRLS!!!

 Livi isn't quite walking so she is enjoying her walker.

 Addie has everything she needs. She pulls it around with her and when she finds a good place, she sets up shop. I got a video of this and can't wait to watch it in a few years!!

 It is my goal every day to help these girls be the best of friends. It isn't easy but I know one day they will thank me for keeping them close and teaching them to play together and be kind!!

It's about time to take this binky away during the day. Give me a month and then she wont have it much any more I hope.

Addie has been very imaginative lately. She runs around some days and cleans the house like Cinderella, makes me dinner or dances around like Tianna. But most of all she loves taking care of her babies.

Oh Livi you are so close to walking, We know you can do it but I guess you will when you are good and ready!!

I try to get cute pictures of these two and it is like pulling teeth. They are never looking, smiling or happy at the same time. Heaven Help me in October when we get more pictures taken!

Gammy & Pops House

We scheduled family pictures on the 25th, so we headed down a few days early to visit My parents who just recently moved to Utah. It is still weird to think they live in Utah and I wont be going back to New Mexico any time soon. I get sad but then I remember I only have to drive 2 hours and we're there. I'll take that over 9hrs!!!

We played in the yard, pulled weeds, gammy made us a smoothie every morning, and played with cousins every day. I miss living close to my family. Maybe one day I can convince Allen to move to were they are...it's still in Utah it probably wont happen....one day!

Family pictures went well...I just hate getting ready for them and all the stress that comes with it and then for them to be over in 30 min seems like I got worked up for nothing.

Halloween 2012

Halloween this year was a bit harder than I thought it was going to be.  Allen had to end up working late so I ventured out by myself and the girl.  We went to the bank where Allen's sister works and trick or treated there...which I hope to do that every year...so easy and warm. (this year didn't matter for the warm part...it was 65 degrees until the sun went down, crazy)  Then headed over to the neighborhood trunk and treat to say hi to everyone!!!  

 She got to where she new what to do if now one was by the bucket...help herself of course, but I had to watch her to make sure she only took one or Two!!!

 Addie was running to every bucket of candy. 

 Livi was tuckered out and fell asleep on the way home.

 This is a rare picture because Addison never likes to take pictures.  She actually looks like she's enjoying herself.  This is a treasure for me.

Pumpkin Patch 2012

 The pumpkin patch was a lot of fun this year.  Addison had so much fun picking our her pumpkins, yes she got two small ones and Livi got 3 small ones,  because I also needed them for my 4th Sunday Lesson for church.

Livi had a great time riding in the wagon by herself.  She is sitting but really unstable at times so we came prepared with the bumbo!

Labor Day

Labor day was great this year.  All the peaches were ready to can, so we headed to Gooding to visit.  The weather was really nice and the wind hardly blew.  We put away 100 quarts and 50 pints of peaches in one day.  I was pretty proud of ourselves. We went boating, had a picnic and enjoyed the day. 

Girls Trip to visit Home

My sister-in-law and I decided we were going to load up the girls and take a trip Home to visit.  Well  for me it's almost a 10 hr drive.  I drove down to salt lake the night before and the next day we left for home.  I think I was as bad as the girls on this trip...I wondered if we were ever going to get there.  We did and had a great time

Livi is thinking as to whether she likes the Bumbo...
