GiveThanks Day 2

 I’m grateful for the blessing of being a wife and mother to this beautiful family of mine. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a mom and have lots of babies! I couldn’t have fulfilled my dream of motherhood without my wonderful husband Danny! Oh how grateful I am to have Danny as my partner and father of my children for eternity. I’m thankful for Danny's patience that he has for me and our children and his desire to have a strong relationship with each of us. I’m grateful for the many learning experiences Max has taught me as my firstborn. I’m grateful for the relationship I have with my oldest daughter Hanna. I’m grateful for the fun and humor that Van brings to our family. I’m grateful for Daisy’s excitement for life and the relationship that she has with her little sister Jane. I’m grateful for Walt’s easy going personality and the bond that him and Daisy have. I’m grateful for Clark’s fun loving personality and that he still loves his mama. I’m grateful for our caboose Jane, what a blessing to still have a younger spirit in our home that everyone still fights over kissing on. #givethanks

GiveThanks Day 1

 I’m grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and the knowledge I have been blessed with as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints. My gospel knowledge and my relationship with my Savior have blessed me with faith and hope as I have gone through my life, especially during difficult trials. These blessings have given me so much peace and joy in my life. #givethanks

Happy 14th Birthday Van

 Happy 14th Birthday to our Van! Van was my biggest baby at 10lbs and born on his due date at home (planned). He grew 4 inches this past year and is now almost 6’3” (just under Max at this age, Max wasn't quite 6'3" either). Every family has a teaser and that’s Van in ours. Happy Birthday Van! We love you!

14 cream sodas


This was 5 or 6 years ago, but he still asked for Canes this year.




Sadly we didn't get to celebrate with his best buds, yet.

Halloween 2020

Surprisingly, we were able to have a pretty normal Halloween. 



Lots of candy.

Jane found a creepy friend.

Daisy as a mermaid when she was 5 or 6.

She really wanted to wear the mermaid tail,
