A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!! 3-9-13

Well the wedding plans are over and the big event is done but their "forever" is just beginning!! It was a beautiful day inspite of the crazy cold weather.  I am very grateful for family and friends and for the opportunity we had to all be together on Saturday.  There is nothing better then gathering in the Temple to witness the starting of an Eternal Family.  So thankful for JT and Lexie, for their desire to do what is right and for their example to my other children.  My cup runneth over!!! I LOVE the word ETERNITY - it makes me happy:)

All you need is LOVE!!!

Just sending a little Valentine LOVE your way - can't help it - this picture does it to me every time - you can feel the LOVE!!! So, to all the ones I LOVE out there - HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

P/S even when your dad is FAR AWAY you still feel his LOVE on Valentines Day!!!

Baptism of a GREAT kid!!

On January 5th we were able to witness the baptism of Jack Gaylor.  Jack has been one of JT's best friends forever.  He is such a great kid!!  He has spent a lot of time in our home and we have enjoyed every minute of it. Through the years we have had multiple gospel discussions and we were thrilled when we heared that he was serious about getting baptized.  

I belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
I know who I am.  I know Gods plan.  I'll follow him in faith.
I believe in the Savior, Jesus Christ.  I'll honor his name.
I'll do what is right.  I'll follow his light.  His truth I will proclaim.
I have always loved this song - its message has become sweeter to me as I have watched this young man enter the waters of baptism.  So grateful for the gospel in my life and for Jackie Boy !!!!

Engagement Pictures!!!

I love this photo!!!!!! My sister took these pictures- she always does an amazing job and has great ideas - Thanks A.Tiff!!!  

We are super excited and counting down the days for these two to get married.  They are a ton of fun to be around and we are excited to see what the future holds for them.  It is amazing to me how LOVE gets you through anything and everything.  These two have had a bit of "bad luck" lately (wrecking/totaling a vehicle then purchasing another one to have it break down and cost more money to fix then what he paid for it) but together they will get through.  It is part of life and the beauty of marriage:) I remember being newly married, feeling so poor and wondering how we would make it.  I look back now and realize we didn't have it so bad:)

2012 School Christmas Programs!

I wanted to have these pictures on my blog of the three little guys, they are not so little any more. I really enjoyed this years School Christmas Program.  The kids did such a great job with their parts and singing.  I love music and I love to hear children sing.  I am especially proud of Nate.  With his processing issues, he seems to be a word or two behind when he sings. It is the cutest thing to watch and I just hope he keeps singing his little heart out!!!!

Arizona Cardinals!!

Tim - on the JUMBO Tron at University of Phoenix Stadium!!!

On a previous post I comment on how Tim was selected as "coach of the week" by the Arizona Cardinals.  They invited all the coaches that were selected and the high school teams that won their state championships to be part of the Cardinals pre-game show.  It was a high light for Tim this football season!!!!
