Preschool Graduation

We couldn't be more proud of our girls and how much they have grown over the past year.  Naomi and I owe a huge debt to Missy McConkie who set our girls on a path of loving learning;  we had big shoes to fill but we did our best.  Now - off to kindergarten!!!

Is There a Doctor in the House?

I cannot adequately express in words how proud I am of my amazing, hard-working, cute, smart, funny, handsome, wonderful husband who is now, officially, a DOCTOR!! It has been an incredible four years full of long days and longer nights, ups and downs, tears and laughter, a few broken bones, a second baby, and all the LOVE in the world.  This was definitely one of the happiest days we've ever shared and it's all been worth it!

Mother's Day and More...

This year I got to spend Mother's day with MY mom AND my Grandmas AND my mother-in-law! It was a really great day.  My mom helped the kids pick flowers from her garden and make little bouquets for me.  It was so sweet!!  The only thing missing is a picture of me and my mom together - seriously, how did that not happen?  Anyway - my parents-in-law gave me a copy of Les Miserables - which I thought was a REALLY FUNNY way of honoring me on Mother's Day - get it? "the miserable?" ha ha ha ha ha - but, really, I love it and I can't wait to watch it with a big bowl of popcorn and a big box of tissues! Thanks to everyone for making it such a special day.   


Tuesday was a big day for Kyle - he got his license to practice medicine in the state of Michigan in the mail AND we signed and mailed the closing papers for our new home in Royal Oak!  Can you tell he was pretty excited?  I'm so proud of my smart, fun, cute, awesome husband who works so hard to make all our dreams come true! Love you, babe!!

I can't believe my baby brother is married! I am so excited for him and his beautiful bride.  My favorite parts were watching them be sealed in the Twin Falls temple for time and all eternity and then watching them dance at their reception.  Love you both so much!!
