Hazy Days

Well our plan this weekend was to go to Chicago and visit my friend Debbie M and watch her first born, Max, be baptized. The time off requests were taken care of! I stayed up late cleaning the house, washing and ironing clothes, and finally packing for a weekend trip to Chicago.

If you've been in Utah this week, you know we've had some amazing fog for a few days. The local news stations rated our air quality as a code RED. The news announcer said , "If you do not need to go outside then DON'T..".

We spend the better part of Saturday at the airport. The non stop was over booked due to cancellations the previous night. O.K. We'll give Cincinnati a shot... Then the connection from Cincinnati to Chicago was cancelled- Mechanical. Foiled again.

So we tried for Sunday morning. The baptism was taking place at 7pm on Sunday. We figured we try and catch the first two flights in the morning and we would make it in time. Well, you gotta love HAZY DAYS..... All the flights were over sold...

We never made it. We want to let Max know we love him and wish we could be there to witness his baptism however, we are with him in spirit.

Our Kids

Jacob is our baby. He gives the greatest hugs you can think of.

Jacob has a heart of gold. Jacob is always willing to help out when he can. He has an interest in cooking.

Jacob has an attraction to blonde's. He will tell you that Anne is "HIS" girlfriend.

I look at Jacob and I see how loving he is and wish he will stay this way forever.

Our Kids

We are truly blessed with McKenna. She is so loving and I appreciate the songs she carries in her heart...

McKenna is so caring about her classmates and her brother. She is the greatest big sister!

McKenna loves music and too sing. She tells me everyday that she is the newest iCarly or Hannah Montana.

McKenna has lost 6 teeth already and she is in Kindergarten.

After 9 Years of Marriage, our family was Sealed in the Temple for Time and All Eternity. November 13, 2008

We were blessed to have tons of friends in attendance for the sealing. We were informed that our group had to be moved to another room to accommodate all of our guest. What a blessing for us to know that we filled the largest room in the temple with Friends who support and love us.

The kids loved the Temple. It was very difficult getting them to leave.

Debbie Larsen Jensen and her mother MaryJo was so thought full to recreate my wedding bouquet for the Sealing.

McKenna sure did feel like a Bride that day.

Our Family

Well for some time I've had several friends ask to me to create a blog. If you know me, then you know I love to scrapbook. If your life is like mine, then you too do not have time to create until your hearts desire.

I was sold on blogging because it was explained to me that this is a great way to journal. I can create a blog, print it off and add it to the kids albums.

Yahoo! I was sold. It made sense. Then trying to create a blog for the first time is time consuming. I hope you enjoy the ramblings of full time working mother and full time house wife.

I will try to post pictures and as well as pass along wonderful family stories as they happen.

Dreams and Wishes

When I was little, I loved the weekends and Holidays. During this time we would visit our friends and family. I always wished my kids would grow up hanging out with tons of cousins and their Grandparents. Unfortunately, my wish did not come true, therefore this is the only way we can keep in touch.
