I guess I didn't post this last year.  I found it in my drafts.  Enjoy...

Eating ice cream at Great Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Aspynn loves animals, and I guess that includes garden snakes.

GGGGreat Grandpa John Hatches house in Taylor AZ.

My Little Fraggle with Grandma. I was usually sitting next to Mira on the other side....we now know what sardines feel like.

CAMP: First 2 weeks

Mira and Aspynn decided that they should get as dirty as they could on their first day here.  This is a picture of Mira covered in it.

Larry decided to go out on Lake Tahquitz with the girls.  They were pretty excited.

All was going well until both girls decided to be on one side of the canoe and it tipped over.

Some thought I was going to be hysterical but when I saw that the girls weren't screaming, I just decided to take pictures to document it.  Plus it gave them a chance to use their rescuing skills they get to learn up here.

Larry is in the capsized boat trying to bring it to shore.

The girls just said they were "wet".  And when I asked Aspynn if she was ok, she said:  "Yeah, I ok"

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

On this day (4 years ago) I married my best friend.

Yes, I know it is a few days past (our anniversary is April 8th).

I just love my husband and am grateful we were able to be sealed together as a family.  Larry, you are my HERO.

I LOVE YOU!!  TE AMO!!  TE DUA!!

He Lives

Amazing video featuring Apostles and the Prophet testifying that Jesus Christ lives!

Quote of the day

Dear Abby: Some months ago, you printed a letter from a reader who was disturbed that the spark was gone from her marriage.  I asked my husband whether the spark is gone from our 18-year marriage.  His response: "A spark lasts only a second. It lights a fire. When the flame burns down, we are left with the hottest part of the fire, the embers, which burn the longest and keep the fire alive."

Betty in Cap May, N.J.

Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they
are always watching you.

Quote of the day

Thomas S. Monson

"An attitude of love characterized the mission of the Master.  He gave sight to the blind, legs to the lame, and life to the dead.  Perhaps when we make face-to-face contact with our Maker, we will not be asked, "How many positions did you hold?" but rather, "How many people did you help?"  In reality, you can never love the Lord until you serve Him by serving His people" (BYU Devotional, January 11, 2009).

 

I just really liked this picture of my beautiful girls.  

Some fun over the last few months

Our Early Start friends.  Mira & Aspynn love going.

 

Making Christmas cookies at Gma Frosts.  Sugar and butter, anyone?  Do you even know how many pounds you used, Mom?

Great Great Gma Sewell.  I guess that makes her REALLY GREAT!

Gingerbread Temple at a Young Marrieds FHE (yea, we won)

Beautiful Aspynn

Christmas Fun

A cute pic of my brother's family:

Chris, Brooke, and Devi

A bit of light reading Mira?  (Jesus the Christ)

Doing the dishes and Sweeping.  (When will that ever happen again?)

Aspynn Turns One Year Old!!!!!

Cake attack!  Well, one finger did the trick for Aspynn.

We had a lot of fun at Aspynn's birthday party.  Cookie decorating, pin the nose on the pumpkin and the sand box were enjoyed by all the youngin's.  We still can't believe that she turned one today.

It sure is fun to see her walking.  Her smile and those bright blues shine up any room.  We LOVE you ASPYNN!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Mira decided that Aspynn needed to wipe her hands off from the cake, so she found a napkin and tried to clean her up....what a good sister!
