Peter's Baptism

I can't believe that my Peter is 8 and already to be baptized!

Rachal's Mission Photos

 Rachal has been called to serve in the Arizona Tempe Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! She is super exited for this opportunity to serve her Heavenly Father.

She enters the MTC on January 30th and will serve for 18 months! 

I so proud of her for making this choice and know that she will have a big impact on those that surround her.

2012 Reunion

 Aunt Mary was in charge of the reunion this year and she did a wonderful job! 

We all met up at Lava Hot Springs and enjoyed some amazing barbecue and potluck. 

We had a lot of fun visiting and catching up with each other. 

Some dozing was also done...

As well as lots of rafting and tube floating

Counting down to the next one!

Hello, Anyone Out There

I'm back and hey this is much easier to navigate.
I'm wondering if we can get others on here, but I think
we are all wandering around facebook!  Last week was
one of those exhausting weeks that you're so tired you can't
think straight and your temper is very short-fused!  I had Angie's
two boys while she was trying to maintain her sanity in making
phone calls for a mortgage on a new home, our air conditioner went
out and so that meant a new furnace too--of course we just retired!!
I was doing peaches and Natalie was here trying to get ready to go
back to school on top of it all.  I know for some this might be normal
but for me it was a bit tiring!!  Today is wonderful to be home finally
with Sharm and just being empty-nesters!

 Meet newborn Princess N! 

Isn't she adorable! Believe or not this is my first real newborn session! I was super excited and way nervous! But it all went well! She was such a cutie! 

She was determined to stay awake through the whole session! 

But finally fell asleep so we could get these! 

Well...half asleep!

 Overall I think that it was a good session! I learned a lot and am thankful that her parents were willingly to let me capture this small moment in their lives. 

Glen's Missionary Photos

Glen has been called to serve in the Marshall Island Majuro Mission!  He enters the MTC tomorrow and is super excited to teach people about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. 

I was super excited to use my newest props...vintage suitcase! I made him haul them all over the place! But he was a good support! 

I know that he will do a great job and that many people will be touched by his testimony!
