Family Happiness!

Just some random pics.  

We went up to my parents to have a party for Parker and swim and eat tons of food a few weeks ago.  It was fun to hang out with my family.  And the kids loved it too.  My parents were so sweet and let the boys stay there that night so we could go to the temple.  It is wonderful to be so much closer to the temple.  Afterwards we went to Nielson's with some other couples from our ward.  Everyone is so nice.  We love our new ward and know this is where we are supposed to be.

 The next Monday we went to a family party with Jared's family and it was tons of fun too.  

We are so blessed to have such great families!

I borrowed this cake pan to make for Parker.  He LOVES Mcqueen.  X-)

We celebrated birthdays for Jalen, Parker, and Bailey. 

 They are all so cute!

A couple pics from my parents house...

My brother Ross is soooo cute with all the kiddos.  

He will be such a great dad someday!

One of Parker's gifts was this tool kit.  He is in love with the goggles!  He wears them around the house on his head all the time!

Tanner started 3rd grade this month and is doing great.  He is such a smart boy and I am glad that he enjoys learning.  Pic above is the 1st day.  He was so excited.  other pics are one morning after Jared's long night shift.  He was about to fall asleep in the chair after reading family scriptures, but I got him to smile for me.  =)

Babies are Claire(2 months) and Carson(4 months).  He sure is a chunk next to her!

Last pic is our FHE activity.  Ring around the Rosie.  It was so fun.  The boys both loved it.  After that we played the jumping game.  Ok, ok it's not really a game.  Parker just likes to jump and yell jump at the same time.  Lots of jumping and lots of laughing.

I feel so blessed lately.  I am grateful for my family.  I am grateful for my husband who loves me and respects me and tells me so everyday.  I am grateful for healthy, happy children.  I am grateful for the gospel in my life.  It is so wonderful to know of my Heavenly Father's plan for my family. I am grateful for the temple. I am grateful for family prayer and scripture study.  I am grateful for the Spirit that is in our home when we choose the right and when we show love for one another. 

 I am just happy to be happy.
