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.

Arizona

After Family pictures were over I stayed in Utah to go with everyone to Arizona for a Wedding while Allen came home to go back to work. I was sad that he didn't get to go with us. The drive was not horrible but pretty close. IT took us over 12 hrs because we stopped a few times so the girls could run and play. 4 little girls in a car says it all, right!!!!

 We made it to Phoenix and were very happy we didn't have to stay in a hotel. We stayed at Allen's sister's house. They have a pool and live right on the golf course.  It was GREAT!!

Livi loved the water so much and never wanted to get out of it! The pool kept us cool while we were there!!! (there is such a thing as to hot)

My Cousin James got home from his mission in January and married his sweetheart June 1st in the Mesa Temple. Good Day but TOO HOT!!!! We were finding shade wherever we could so that we would stop sweating.

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.

Grandma Adams Birthday Weekend

We headed down to Gooding for the weekend to Celebrate Grandma Adams 85th birthday. It's been a rough couple of years for Allen Grandparents. Their health is failing them and are not independent anymore, so Sandra has been taking on the load. I really have seen her age over this last year. This is life and what happens and I just hope my girls will serve me with love when I get old as Sandra does with her parents.

To end our visit Toby Jumped up on Addie and she hit the corner of the porch. It must have broke a blood vessel because she got a black and blue goose egg on her forehead. A few days later swelling went down and she started getting black and blue.

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...

Memorial Weekend 2012

We were able to spend another Memorial day donwn in gooding with Allen's family.  Maybe we will make it a tradition to be down there every year.  We have been since we've been married!! The weather was windy, cold and rainy, but on Monday it was a perfect day.  So much so, we didn't want to leave.  We just wanted to stay sitting on the back pourch gabbing.  I really can't believe that in a few days, Livi will be 2 months.  Wow, time goes so fast when you look back.  I should pattent that saying since I've adopted it.  Allen was sick on sunday so I took the girls to church by myself for the first time...I had Sandra there to hold one of them, but it wasn't easy.  I know this might be bad to say, but until Livi is 6 months old, I will not be going to church by myself with the girls.

 It's so fun to see Sierra and Addie becoming friends.  They are 10 months apart, have similar personalities, and need to see each other more.  I guess we'll just have to visit grandma more often.
