One year ago today...

Was the day Sophie and Sage were sealed to us. It's a day I'll never forget, sealed in the exquisite Manti Temple surrounded by our loved ones. Click here for a recap.

This year went by so fast! It has become our "forever family" day. Another great time to celebrate life, families, adoption, God's great plan for us... If you know me, I'm always up for a good celebration, and this day means so much. Since the kids had the week off, we spent some fun filled days somewhere warm.

It was cute watching Sage peek around the corner, waiting for Trevor & Sophie to come (top right)

Showing off our February "tans"

Sophie & Josh making a splash, so great having big brothers!

Trying out some effects, I like the B & W & Sepia

Early in the morning, the clouds in the mountains were so pretty. I took this shot while driving down the freeway (passenger side), through the window and all.


We've been known to drive half a day for these breadsticks & pizza

I'm so thankful for temples and my forever family! I'm especially grateful for a loving Father in Heaven that blesses me every day. I won't say it's always easy raising a big family, but the rewards are great, I wouldn't trade it for anything!
