Handsome husband

The kids wanted to see what this was all about. Chase was all over it. He is so much like his Dad. He loves being a cowboy. Sydnee just loves being outside and playing with other kids. Sierra gave her a ride on her little pony. Sydnee loves riding. Even better when there her size. The kids thought is was great. I thought is stunk and looked like to much work.

Graduation...DR. SMITH

We are officially done with school.....eight and a half years later. We are so proud of Courtney and his hard work to support the family. We are excited for the next phase in our life. He will be working in Soda at Star Therapy. Graduation was an exciting event for us. I guess a celebration that it is over.... I sure many of you have been there. Sydnee kept asking Court why he was in a costume. We couldn't help but laugh. Chase was just loving all the attention. We thought we would share this event with all of you. Thanks for all your support!!

A Beautiful Story

Dear family and friends I have been so inspired and lifted up by this video of Stephanie Neilson. I think you all should take a look. Click here on Chocolate Sundaes blog and check it out. How blessed we are to have the gospel in our lives. May we all draw closer to the spirit that we might know are divine role as mothers and daughters of God. I leave my testimony that our Savior lives and that our Heavenly Father knows and cares about all the daily task we do that seem so pointless day after day. He loves us and wants us to return home to be with him. The gospel is true and it offers so much love and hope through our daily faith and prayers.

April 1st. Look at the snow. What a great April fools!! NOT!! WE NEED SUNSHINE!!

Chase loves this as a hat.

Watching DORA!! He just named his baby horse DORA. She is his favorite.

Our Spring birthday boy! We won't say how old he is....but still looks good and has enough air to blow out six candles with help from the kids. HA HA HA!!
