{July 2014: Hospital, 4th of July, Reception, Cousins, Friends}

Our Poor Baby Girls!  {In Idaho} Our Daughter R, was admitted to the Hospital with a severe case of Pink Eye {I didn't even know that was possible!}, and then while we were there, Baby H, fell and hit her sweet little head on a chair and cracked it open, requiring 4 stitches!  It was convenient that we were at the hospital when that happened though, so her Daddy just took her right down to the Emergency Room to get it done.  They gave her a cute little doll, for doing a good job.   

We went to Oregon for the Week of Fourth of July, and enjoyed spending time with Family and Friends.  The Kids had fun Spending time with Cousins and Friends.

 We went to a Fourth of July Parade, with Family and Friends, and went to a Delicious Barbeque at Mark's Parent's House.

We lit Fireworks as a Family {the Kids Loved the Sparklers!}, watched the University's Firework Display, and Rode on Mark's family's over a Hundred Year old Steam Engine.

Then we went up to Washington to Visit more Family and Friends. 

The Kids had fun spending time with their Cousins and Friends.

 I had fun going to the Wedding Reception of my Childhood Best Friend Adrienne, with my sister Celestia.  To view pictures {on my blog} of her Adorable Reception, click here.

We had a Wonderful time up in Washington {and Oregon}, visiting Family.  The Kids had Sleepovers with their Cousins, and we had a Barbeque and Roasted Hotdogs and Marshmallows over the fire.

{Happy Eleventh Anniversary! M & E}

"It's Your Love" Tim McGraw (feat. Faith Hill)

Dancin' in the dark
Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
And holdin' it tight
Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doin' all over again
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go

 

It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love
Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By takin' your hand

And who I am now
Is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever
I'm happy and free
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in, no
And if you asked me why I changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name
It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love
Oh, baby

Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go
It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love
It's your love
It's your love

 Eleven Years ago I Married my Best Friend, 

The One I Laugh With, Live For, Dream With, LOVE.

 _________________________________

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.  I am married to the man of my dreams, who treats me like a Queen every day of our lives together.  He is an amazing husband, father to our 5 children and a wonderful man.  He respects, honors and cherishes our relationship and me.  Every day is an adventure: learning, sharing and growing together.  I love him more today; than on the day that we were married.  I adore him, miss him like crazy when we are apart, and love our lives together.  I am so blessed.        

We're Pregnant! {2010} Visit to Washington, and lots of fun

We're expecting Baby Number 4, September 2010, I am nearly 15 weeks along.  We are very excited and thrilled to have this baby coming to our family.  I have been pretty sick with morning sickness, and I am glad that it finally seems to be starting to dissipate--some.   I went to my first doctor appointment a couple of weeks ago, and the baby was looking good--strong and healthy with a strong heartbeat.  We are excited to find out if it is a boy or a girl in a few weeks.

Baby K, LOVES Shoes!  Above she is pictured in Daddy's work boots, Daddy's little wooden shoes (a picture tradition in our family) from his mission to the Netherlands (for our church), and Mommy's high heel shoes.  Baby K, likes to explore and gets into things.  She got into one of my ink pads, and got it all over herself!

We went up to Washington to visit my side of the family, and went to my brother Dan and wife Jolie's Baby C's baby blessing.  It was a beautiful blessing.  Baby K loves kissing baby "coco".  She just loves little babies.  We were so glad that we could be there for it.  We also got to go to Cousin S's 7th birthday party.  The kids had so much fun at S's Toy Story party. 

(Me, Julia and Anjuli) Another thing I got to do while I was up in Washington, was go to one of my friends from high school, Julia's and her husband Hyrum's wedding open house.  It was a lovely event and I was really glad I could be there for it. 

Baby K, is such a little snuggle bug.  Here she is snuggling mama and her baby doll, falling asleep.

My mom came and visited us for 5 days, and we had such a wonderful time with her here.  We really enjoyed it her visit.  She helped take care of us and helped clean our house.  We especially enjoyed just spending time with her though.  Little Miss R, has the same color of eyes and hair as Grandma.

I helped throw my sister in law Kristy, a baby shower for her and new Baby J.  It was a lovely shower.  Niece/Cousin T, played with the tissue paper after the shower.  

My sister Angela, her husband Grant and their 5 girls stayed with us for a night on their way down to General Conference, for our church in Utah.  It was lovely having them here.  We are looking forward to having them stay with us, for a couple of days on their way back from Utah.
