Congratulations to Jentry & Kaylee!  We are so happy she said "YES!" and we are very excited to have her in our family!

12-13-14

12-13-14 coolest date ever! The last running date in this century. A good date for bearing my testimony: I know my Savior lives and loves me! I'm thankful for his atonement, the Book of Mormon, and a living prophet.

"27" on the 27th!
Happy Birthday Jade!

Angel #2 just arrived

What makes a grandma happy?  Yep, grandkids!  My heart is overflowing with happiness as Angel #2 arrived on September 3, 9:19pm.  Fresh and new from heaven, we are so thankful for his healthy, safe arrival. 

Congratulations Jaren & Kassie!

We couldn't be more excited to have grand baby #2 but now we know he's a...BOY! we can hardly wait.  The best news of all was that he looks healthy and all the parts are there.  

Congratulations Jaren & Kassie!

Thanks to Fritz & Odie for doing their part to make the gender reveal so much fun!

100 Days til out missionary comes home!

June 20th here we come!

Merry Christmas!

I wish blogspot would let me put these blogs in order, but I'm catching up on my journaling as you can see!  Please keep in mind...the best blog of the day is the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!  That's my favorite of all!

So, catching up...2 sweet boys joined our family on Christmas Eve!  It was a surprise even for me that they came home with us.  It must have been one of those rare Christmas miracles.  I cried as I held them up to my face and walked out of that door in Layton.  Oh, it was so wonderful, they smelled like Oscar and their fur felt like his.  They were there to fill a huge hole in my heart and I cried the whole way home while kissing them.

I'm not going to wish away their puppyhood but the potty training is a real drag.  Thank goodness they are such sweet puppies and love to cuddle and kiss and snuggle up.  A special thank you to Tanner for being so understanding.  It took him a while to warm up but now he loves to play with them too.  They have brought out the puppy in him too.  More fun puppy posts to come!

In Memory of Oscar

In Memory of our sweet Oscar.  We miss you terribly!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT - Grandbaby #2!!

February 17, 2014
What an amazing day! My baby turned 25 today and my mind was on that day 25 years ago when  Dr. Duke asked: "How would you like to have a baby today?" He was born at 8:30pm.

How cool that 25 years from that wonderful day, I would get some pretty fantastic news that another baby was on it's way! We are happy beyond words that another sweet baby will join our family on September 4, 2014 and we are so very happy for Jaren & Kassie! (Insert: BIG SQUEALLY NOISE!!!)
