We love our missionary!


O.K., so Marcus, my little brother, has almost been in the MTC for two weeks, but I just got these pictures on my computer. We were all so excited for him to go, but we all cried at the MTC. When I see people cry I start crying. My mom burst into tears when they asked her to place Marcus' missionary tag on.
The night before, it was such a neat experience to be there when Marcus got set-apart. He bore his testimony and said he was ready to serve and he bore a sweet testimony of the Savior.
We are so proud of him and love sending same day packages to the MTC. His favorite has been chips and salsa. He said they had a fiesta several nights in a row. He loves the MTC, and will be leaving for Seattle next week.

General Conference



This is one of Kylie's favorite things to do. She would sit in the sink and play all day if I let her.


Wasn't General Conference great?! My favorite conference talk was by Elder Ballard. If you didn't hear it you can go to lds.org and listen to it. He talked about young mothers. He said, "Recognize that the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times, but amid the challenges there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction." That is so true. These pictures remind me of some of those shining moments.

Elder Ballard talked to the children and told them to help their moms and to tell them they love them. Hopefully Kylie will listen and stop telling me she hates me. Although sometimes she says, "Mom, you're my best friend!" She can't make up her mind I guess. But I always tell her I love her.

Holidays Past



Kylie was so excited to wear her Easter dress. We did her hair and she posed for pictures.


Dash and Kylie made Easter bunny ears at our ward primary activity. They hopped around like bunnies.


I know Christmas was a while ago, but I just uploaded these pictures to my computer. This was the first snow of the season. Marc and Kylie built a snowman with red kool aid hair and we went sledding. The kids loved it (and so did Marc and I)!
