Beauty asked for a few pics! We will take her senior pictures at a few parks and she would like some urban pictures taken in the city but these were on our property at the house. I have really enjoyed the beauty of our place here in St. Louis. It is always fun with her infront of my lens.
I can't wait until we take some head shots!!

Just the way I like it! What a fun day we had.
Dash, he is simply amazing. Things seem to come easily to him. If he wants to do it, he does. I believe he has no idea what it is like to struggle in areas because its a gift given to him. His struggle comes in areas as patience, perfection, etc. A year ago we watched Dash participate in his first race.

So we headed to Borders and Books where they were going out of business and we set up camp.

So, please don't worry they are not hunting out of season!
When they go hunting in our back yard, all the boys go. Even Kekoa has his moment of victory. Kekoa is not interested in deer at all. He doesn't care for the smell of blood or the sight of raw meat. He prefers his meat cooked, and so do I.

On the 18th of April marked your passing of a year. I can't believe I made it. Some days were harder than others; mostly in the beginning transitioning through the habitual tasks of the day. As the months went on I stopped calling and I finally deleted your number from my phone. That was hard but a much needed closure moment.

We were out at a feed store buying the dog some food and they had little chics out for sale! They are the cutest furiest little things! Sweetheart just fell in love with them and begged and begged to have them. I had to say,"NO". I just knew our big puppy dog would love those chics too much and cause them unintended harm. Just think of the character Lenny in Of Mice and Men. Yep.

The month of October was a great month! Each of our children had their mid quarter assessments and each of them are doing well and thriving in school. Always good news and especially sweet since this is the start of our first full year here.

We had to report to the Stake President's house, President Hensey at 7:30. They took our picture. We wrote some words to go in a scrap book. Had a good chat and get to know you and the he was set apart as a missionary. In his prayer were words and thoughts that were very similar to his patriarchal blessing.

Today is fast Sunday. The entire week has been crazy busy. I had forgotten that this would be my last Sunday sitting with my son, for quite some time.

This place we have called home for almost 12 years! She has kept us warm, safe and has given us a great refuge to come home to. The walls hold so much laughter and happiness that it out shines the tears, words of anger or haste. She has been a great home to us and I hope that the next inhabitants are blessed with such love that our home has offered us! So, anyone mother goosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06514668932799794084noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953274300279328182.post-44973431871246895402010-01-22T10:53:00.003-06:002010-01-26T09:50:26.564-06:00Praying worksAs I continue to watch our Father's plan open before our eyes, my heart swells and pools of tears fall. It is more than I can bare. Father's love is pouring upon our family and it is so intense and glorious it takes my breath away. His hand is in everything we do, in everyone we speak to and in everywhere we turn. It is so prevalent and matter of fact that it makes stops my heart for a beat or mother goosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06514668932799794084noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953274300279328182.post-36250698639622996752010-01-19T11:30:00.000-06:002010-01-19T11:30:06.682-06:00Fear Not....Mr. I flew out yesterday for his first day on the job. It was so exciting to see him put on his work clothes, pack a suit case and head out the door. He looked pretty scrumptious! The children and I brought him to the airport with excited hearts and beaming smiles. The kids were a little apprehensive. They have had their dad home for 4 months straight. The loved having him home; he is a great mother goosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06514668932799794084noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953274300279328182.post-69216856468926952772010-01-18T14:12:00.000-06:002010-01-18T14:13:32.844-06:00My nephew SamAfter the New Year I got to go to NY. My nephew Sam had insisted I stay one more day to watch him play basketball! I'm awful glad I did. We arrived a little late and Sam was on the line shooting two. He made the first basket and I was screaming and saying "WOOHOO, way to go, Sam. But, my sister told me Sam doesn't like. OOps, My bad! My sister also told me if I keep yelling at him saying, "Hi" hemother goosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06514668932799794084noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953274300279328182.post-67704959261994889702010-01-14T22:30:00.000-06:002010-01-14T22:32:31.080-06:00The Journey.....Today the full blessings of heaven have completely opened and poured upon us. 1/11/10has been the deliverance that our family,family members and ward family have been praying for. The once salty tears of pain and worry have been replaced with salty tears of relief and gratitude. When we heard the official offer come across the telephone it was surreal.

Perhaps the road gets too long, you've lost your way or you have just given up. I wanted to post this because when things were so hard it was family that held us together. Not just my own immediate glorious family but the family support of our extended family. I love my grandmother, I call her almost daily. I love my parents and my mother goosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06514668932799794084noreply@blogger.com9
