"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Stacy and Derek’s Wedding

My cousin Stacy got married and I was lucky enough to be there :) I am one of the older cousins on both sides of my family so I have been able to go to so many of my cousins weddings. I just love it every time I hear that another one is getting married. So many fun memories with all these cute cousins of mine, it makes me happy to see them so in love and starting their own families. Stacy was gorgeous and her wedding day from my view was perfect. It always brings me back to my own wedding day and how special it was and still is to me. A day you just don’t forget that’s for sure. Stacy was married in the Rexburg Temple and I had never been there so that was fun for me. The luncheon was at the Flight Museum is Rexburg and I had never been there either and it was just awesome!! I love airplanes so it was fun to have it in this building with all these amazing airplanes, and I forgot my camera at the luncheon so thanks for the picture Judy :) Then we had the reception later that night and it was beautiful, they had it decorated so nice, it really was perfect. My girls got to help carry presents and they thought that was great (Thanks for asking them) Weddings and babies are my absolute favorite :) Congratulations Stacy and Derek!!Stacy  Stacy 2

My brother took my camera and snuck up on Judy in the line to take this picture. He always has to joke around with Judy about how she takes too many pictures. I don’t think you can ever have too many pictures so thanks for teaching me to take lots of pictures Judy!! Love ya. And my brother, someday will be grateful I take so many pictures of his kids otherwise he probably would not have very many pictures of them. DSC_0641

All dressed up

Just some cute pictures of my kids in their Christmas dresses and….. um I guess you call them boy clothes :) It is hard for me to get use to not calling my kids “girls” or say “dresses” I can’t forget that handsome little boy of mine!! It is really hard to get a picture of four kids and have them all looking but this is what I got, I was happy!! I love these kiddos they are so fun and I am so glad I get to be their Mommy!DSC_0587  DSC_0583

Jaxon and his favorites

I am pretty sure Jaxon has all his favorites in these pictures. Blanky, binky, his sissy, and his new favorite the wagon :)DSC_0566 DSC_0567   DSC_0572 DSC_0574 DSC_0575  DSC_0582

Christmas Dinner

I had Christmas dinner at my house and it turned out so yummy :) It was a job to get Christmas all cleaned up before dinner but I did it! We ate dinner, pie and played and played, the kids had a blast. Jaxon just loves Uncle Jesse he could play with him for hours I love watching Jesse with him :) We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It is amazing how much my kids understand about Christmas and why we celebrate it, they teach me something new everyday I am amazed at what they know. They told me Christmas is magical because it is the day Christ was born :) They are so right it is magical!!DSC_0520 DSC_0521  DSC_0523 DSC_0524 DSC_0525    Jaxon and Daddy before he had to leave for workDSC_0529   DSC_0537  DSC_0539   DSC_0542    All of my nieces and nephews on my side of the familyDSC_0551 DSC_0555     DSC_0565
