Bridger is 2!!

We celebrated Bridger's 2nd Birthday while we were in Cardston. He was spoiled with presents and cake and ice-cream, And he has sure been living up to his age lately as well:). He is such a fun little guy with the cutest most irresistible smile, and such a fun lively personality. We love you Bridger and the joy you have brought into our lives!

8 Years of pure bliss!!!

Cheers! to the best 8 years of my life, and the best decision I ever made!

Fathers and Sons Campout

The boys went on a ward camp out with their dad and had a blast. Here are some pictures of the fun that they had.

They love sleeping in a tent, can't you just feel the excitement!


I wasn't planning on letting Bridger go on the camp out because Shawn needed to help with the cooking and I was afraid he would wander off. When we were packing everything up, Bridger put on his shoes, and a baseball cap and was ready to go camping. We couldn't resist that, so I decided to let him go. I was glad I did because they both had the time of their lives with their dad, and made some wonderful memories.

BLESSED

Liv Was blessed on Saturday, July 24. She was given an amazing blessing by her father, the spirit was so strong. Liv has an amazing little spirit, and I feel so blessed that she has come to our family, and I truly do believe that she has come straight from our Heavenly Father's presence.

My talented sister-in-law Tiniel took some photos of Liv's blessing day, and she did an amazing job. Some of the things recalled from the blessing......

Blessed to have a strong body and mind
Blessed to be a leader, not a follower
blessed to be a strong and influential person
Blessed to understand and cherish womanhood
It was an amazing day, and she is an amazing little girl. Thank you to all who came, and all who helped with the luncheon. We feel so much love from both Shawn's family and my family.

Diamond Creek Camping Trip!

When I was a kid, we would go on a camping trip every year to Diamond Creek, ID. It is one of my most favorite places of all time. We were able to go this year and it sure was a blast! We haven't been for 4 years. The boys were in heaven, and Liv did so well! Everyone kept telling me I was crazy for bringing a 4 week old baby camping, but I think she really enjoyed it as well. She was a perfect little angel.

The boys thought it was so cool to sleep in a tent. They had so much fun having flashlight wars in the tent when it would get dark out:)


On a little walk, such a pretty area.


Motorbike ride with grandpa....the smile says it all.
