New Office

Jacob worked really hard over the summer to give me a new, beautiful office!  I absolutely love how it turned out and it is my favorite room to be in!!

Craft Days!

This year we did something new and signed up for Kids Craft Days at Michaels and it was so much fun!  They spend one week making crafts from Finding Nemo and another week making princess crafts.  We are definitely going to do it again next summer!

Madison's Baptism Day!

Madison is baptized!  We are so proud of her and the decision she made to be baptized.  She has looked forward to this for a long time and we couldn't be happier.  We love you Madison!

Visit with Old Friends!

On our recent trip to Utah, I was able to visit with a few old friends!  I got to have lunch with my old roommates: Denise, Rachael and Natalie.  It had been quite a few years since I saw them last and we had a wonderful time catching up!  It was also a lot of fun to catch up with the Jensen's.  I have missed them and it was amazing to spend some time with them!

Palm Springs

For my birthday, Jacob and I enjoyed a trip to Palm Springs without kids!  We had a wonderful time swimming in the pool, watching movies, and eating!  I love it when I get to spend time with just the two of us!

Father's Day!

We have such an amazing daddy who works so hard for us so we love celebrating him on Father's Day!  He got his favorite french toast for breakfast, picked out new suits for his gift, and then enjoyed a day of spoiling from us.  We love you daddy!
