Mother's Day

K- cooking dinner.mmm

B- helping her dad cook dinner, and having fun while doing it.

L- sleeping with w/gift hiding under her books.

So I haven't been too great about keeping up on my blog and I'm not great about taking pictures either sometimes, but I really enjoy it when I get the chance. But Mother's Day this year was one of my best so far. I love being a mom it has blessed my life so much. And I have a great husband, because he was behind all of the wonderful gifts I received for Mother's Day.

I got breakfast in bed, 2 dozon roses, plants and homeade cards from my kids, a work free day,and lots of attention. The best part was just hanging out together and seeing how excited they were to give me there little gifts.

L- My 5 yr old came home on the Friday before mother's day and pulled a bag out of her backpack and ran up stairs. She said I couldn't come in her room until Mother's Day, I said "Well how am I going to read you a story?" A few minutes later she came out and said "OK mom you can go in but don't look on the side of my bed!

Later I went in to find a mountain of books on the floor next to her bed, she had made a house of books around the gift she didn't want me to see(picture above). She was so excited and wanted to make sure I didn't see it until Mother's Day!

I loved the look on her face when she brought it to me that morning. How could I not act soo excited to open it! It was a beautiful flower plant she grow at school, we planted it in the front flower bed.

About Us

K- and I met in Colorado in 1997 while I was serving a full time mission for my church. My companion and I were out tracting and we knocked on K's- door just has he was pulling up in the driveway. He thought we were the girl scouts bring him his cookies,(haha) he had ordered the month before. Once he saw who we were he let us in and we taught him the 1st discussion, and came back every week until he was baptised.

I returned home a few months later and we kept in contact. K- was very persistent and patient with me, but he finally asked me to marry him after 1 1/2 at home. We were married in 1999 in the Seattle, Bellevue Temple on April 9th. We have been married 11 years now and have lived in many places; Colorado,Conneticut,Washington, Colorado(again), and Virginia.

We currently live in Virginia. K- works for the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers Middle East District and has for the last 6 years first as a contractor then term and now perminent. He also is an E-8 in the U.S. Army reserves. He has served and worked in Iraq several times. He travels to different places on occasion, in and out of the country. He works very hard for his family and we appreciate all he does for us.

G- is a at home mom, she teaches Jazzercise at a local gym, she has been teaching for 5 years and loves it! She also teaches the youth at our church, will be subbing at the local schools and has been accepted into the Bachelors program online in the fall.

We have 2 daughters 10 yrs and the other 6 yrs they are full of lots of positive energy, they love ballet,swimming,biking, playing, and their American Girls.

B- is in fourth grade this year, she does very well. She is a very easy going child, gets along with most anyone, is very helpful at home and is a great babysitter. She loves to listen to music, dance, and is very good at it.

L- is very spunky first grader, always laughing and giggling and having fun, but also very sensitive, her drama will make her rich someday.

We also have a dog named Little Ann, she barks at everything, has more attitude then all us girls put together, and loves K- more then us. But we love her still the same, I guess;)
