Heres how we began this wonderful journey 25yrs ago. Thank you Jeff for many wonderful memories. Thank you for being there with me through lessons and trials and babies and tons of fun. Thank you for making sure this journey started out right by taking me to the temple. Thank you for 7 beautiful children. Thank you for everything!

I realized my family is growing up. As much as I love looking forward to watching them start their families I am so going to miss when I had a bunch of little ones. Enjoy these pictures. Its therapeutic to remember them back when they were so little.

Favorite sounds

I love country music. Just the fact that I can understand the words.
I love Christmas music. The feeling of celebrating and cooking.
I love church music. The spirit it brings with it.
I love listening to my kids talk to eachother. Especially when they are telling stories of the day.
I love when my kids laugh. The best is when they cry cause they laugh so hard.
I love the sound of rain. Its very calming.
I love the quietness of night after everyone is in bed. To know that everyone is safe.
I love hearing my 7 yr old call me on the phone crying and saying "I want you". Its awesome to be wanted.
I love to hear my children say "thanks mom". I love to serve them.
I love to hear my son say "will you just scratch my back". I hope he always needs me.
I love to hear thunder. Its scary, captivating and awesome.
I love to hear my mom and dad say thanks for being who you are. They had a big part of helping me.
I love to hear a child breathe deep when you are putting them to sleep. At that point you know they are really asleep.
I love to hear the washer, dryer, dishwasher going all at the same time. I feel like I am working so hard.
I love to hear my husband say "I Love You". I know that eternity will be wonderful.
