HAPPINESS

It has been crazy in our family lately! This last Saturday my older sister Stacia got ENGAGED to Jean a wonderful man-you can check her blog for the whole story. Last night, my older brother Jared called me and said, "He no longer was dating Hannah"-because they are ENGAGED too! What is going on around here! I told my husband he needs to propose again so I don't feel left out! Ha! Just kidding---We are soooooooo EXCITED for both of you! Jean and Hannah are fabulous and we are so thankful to welcome them into our family! Congrats on becoming your best self, so that you could deserve the best-each other! lOVE YOU ALWAYS!

Home SWEET home

Well This past weekend My brother Judson returned home from his mission in Denver, Colorado where he served the Lord for 2 years! My entire family-minus my youngest brother colton (he is serving a mission in Guatemala) were all together at my parents home for a few fabulous days. Here are some random pictures of our doings before Jud got home:


Jean-Stacia's man and my parents. I didn't know until later that he was asking for their blessing to PURSUE their relationship. Pretty great huh?! We are thankful for the genuine and good man that he is.

One of the greatest blessings in my life is music. My mother instilled in all of her children a love and appreciation for the arts. Here we are----my favorite moment of the weekend-all of us singing different songs together while mom sat and listened on the couch-and cried sweet joyful tears. What a great time we have just being together.

Many of us are early risers-so here we are on the veranda at about 6:30 a.m. I made sure mom was toasty!

Jared got A POEM published that he wrote about my mom...here he is reading it to her-how great! Go Jared. I am so thankful for the gift of family. The many things we are able to learn from eachother, and teach eachother is a treasure. To have so many who love you knowing you are so flawed and understanding that they have theirs too. I so appreciate my friendships with each of my brothers and sisters and my parents. When it comes to family I JUST LOVE!

The Gift of a Family

Here is our darling Kennedy at 8 weeks old! She is fabulous and as precious and sweet as can be. I have been slacking on blogging-I couldn't find my camera for 2 months---thanks to a nice police officer for giving me a ticket I found my camera in the jockey box in my car! Nevertheless I am so thankful to capture our sweet little girl.

Me and my little girl-DARN PRECIOUS! She is growing so fast. She sleeps pretty well, eats great-in 10 minutes and is very content and happy. We have been blessed to welcome her into our home.

One of my favorite things about having another child is to see Bentley adore her. He wakes up and says, "Mom, where is my baby!" All excited he says, "HI BABY KENDY" then smooches her profusely. What a blessing it is to be a parent and especially a mother. I am so thankful for the joy I recieve from all the love I put into my family and my children.

It has always been important to Byron and I to go on dates weekly-just the two of us, and for now Kennedy too. I never get enough of Byron. When I first got married people use to say to me,"Oh the excitement will wear off." I thought and still think THOSE PEOPLE ARE NUTS! I get more excited each day to see him and spend time with him. I can't believe I have him forever and I am so thankful the Lord saved him for ME! How blessed we are!

The greatest miracles

Kennedy Paige joined our eternal family on Tuesday July 21st, 2009. Those of you who have given birth hopefully have seen and felt the heavenly blessing it is to be able to bear and rear children. "To have a child is to have your heart forever walking around outside of your body." I feel this is true in every sense of my heart.

We are both feeling well and doing great. The birth was fabulous. I only pushed four or five times! The best part was that my darling mother was there. My mom has been at both my children's births. I think it is the neatest experience to have your mother-who gave all of life and love to you-see you give that for your child. It was a fabulous and memorable day that I am so thankful to be able to share with my mother. My whole family was able to come to the hospital afterwards and meet the sweet new addition! Thanks fam we love you all!
