Tyler, the Inventor

Paul and I went to check on Tyler one night before we went to bed and we found this very creative contraption. He calls it "The Revolver".

Ryan's song

Ryan told me that he made up a song and then he sang it to me. I thought it was sweet. He is singing "pretty star".

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Make a Smilebox greeting

Happy Birthday, Alyssa!!!

Our Alyssa turned 12 on March 5th. She is such a beautiful girl, inside and out. I love that she is happy, helpful, faithful, kind, and a friend to everyone. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful daughter.

I am not a very "gushy" person, but for some reason as I wrote this post I got a little mushy over my sweet Alyssa. I really am so proud of her.

She's always smiling


In her baptism dress


She loves to have fun


I love her curly hair

So beautiful


Paul holding her for the first time


This is the first time that I held my baby girl. I remember the feelings of amazement and gratitude to my Heavenly Father. He gave us such a perfect and beautiful gift. I felt humbled and yet so happy and excited.
