Rachels Blessing Day

Nathans brother Bryson, Grandpa Lord, Nathans Dad Keith, Nathan, Our Bishop, My Uncle Floyd, And Jason my brother in law.
My grandma Allen, Sister Catherine, Me & Rachel, and my mom!

We decided kinda last minute to have Rachels blessing at our home yesterday. I will have to say that I really liked it that way, it was really nice. I appreciate everyone who came, thank you guys! It is crazy when I sit down and really think about the fact that I have 2 kids now. I never thought I would see this day, and now that it is here I truly feel so thankful for them. I love my little family so much! Last night when we went to bed, we heard Becca open her bedroom door and she was trying to sneak down the hallway (she is so funny), so we let her come get in bed with us. We really don't do that often because she doesn't sleep well, but it was so much fun having her in there by us. Thats when I started thinking about how thankful I am for my two kids, and my husband! They make my life meaningful!

Easter!!












This was a great Easter weekend, we had such beautiful weather, and family in town! My sister Catherine is here from Texas, it has been so fun to have her and her family with us! It is so funny, Becca has suddenly become really attached to her cousin London (Catherines daughter). We went to Target yesterday to do some grocery shopping, and Becca would not let her out of her sight! She would start crying "nondon, were nondon!" SO cute! Then the whole way home London was making faces and Becca was in the back just belly laughing to the point of tears. Anyway these are some (ok a lot) of pictures from the weekend! Enjoy! The last pic on the bottom is one of my brother Alex in Morocco, we are hoping to make it out and visit them.

P.S. Dad and Alex we missed you guys! Send some pictures our way!

My Dad :)






This is kind of a different post. I was thinking about how blessed my life has been, and what a great family I have! I know it's not fathers day, but I just wanted to tell my dad how thankful I am for him and all he has done. He is in Morocco right now (but I know you have a computer so you can see this!) With the work he does (movie director, and screen writer) he is at times gone for months, but I never grew up feeling like I never saw my dad. He and my mom would as much as possible take us kids with them when they traveled :). He has always made a big deal of trying to attend soccer games, tennis matches and just being there for us in general. He always takes such an interest in what I am doing, and gives me his honest opinion. Nathan has told me multiple times how much he looks up to you as a father. I can always count on you dad when I want to see a good movie! (I am not sure if you have ever turned down the chance to watch a movie?) As I said he currently is in Morocco filming an Imax movie, we pray every night that he and Alex (my brother over there with him) are safe, and that all goes well with filming! Love you Dad, and Alex can't wait to see you in May.

p.s. The pictures posted above are from when he was working in Egypt, just kinda fun! The top one is with he and Omar Sharif. And a current photo of Rachel!

Our Four Year Wedding Anniversary



This Wednesday is 4 years for us! Can't believe were we are today, it is crazy how times flies. I just wanted to write a few things I love about my Nathan :) You are so funny! Even though I roll my eyes at you (a lot) you still make my laugh (even when I don't want to!) You are very sweet and good to me, and our little girls! You are such a great dad! When ever Becca has been sick and can't sleep, you can find him in her room holding her fast asleep making sure she is alright. You have so much life and energy, and are always wanting to learn new things. You are very grounded in the Gospel, and have been such a good example to me. You work hard and take of our little family! You always take the time to make sure we are ok, and on the same page. You are a great listener (I am trying to be better at that :). You love Disney land almost as much as I do! I love it when you sing! So much I could go on to say, so last but not least I love how much you love me! I feel so lucky to be married to such a good man! I hope our daughters will find someone like You! Love you babe!
