Sledding

Emmy had a blast!

David on a second run

Noah liked it best when mom was on the sled with him

Sizing up the hill

The babies didn't like it so much

It was pretty darn cold

Emmy and David take on the steep hill

Kyle was the thrill-seeker

Kiley kept falling down the hill, but at least she's smiling!

Family 2010

There's nothing better than being a wife and mother. The greatest joy in life to me is my family. I hope my children will stay close to me, and to each other.

"Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. 'Children are an heritage of the Lord' (Psalms 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, to observe the commandments of God, and to be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives-- mothers and fathers-- will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations."

Baby Adam

This little one is my pride and joy. Although he will be two in a few months, he is still my baby. Adam has a usually calm and laid back personality. He unapologetically takes his time and likes to relax. He absolutely loves to watch the Sprout channel and Disney movies. He likes to fall asleep to a movie whenever possible. He likes to play in nursery at church and show mom that he can do things by himself. He is a little mini-me of his dad- he looks almost identical to David. Adam's eyes are absolutely amazing. If there were only one word used to describe this little man, it would be "Sweet". We love you, Adam!

Noah T.

This is my darling son, Noah Thomas. Noah is my three-year-old firecracker. He is full of energy, and has a great sense of humor. He has told me on a few different occasions that he knows everything. He likes cars, baseball, all different sports, riding his bike, reading bedtime stories, and being a boy. He enjoys wrestling and being chased. I love to hear him explain to me how something works, or just listen to him talk about his feelings. Noah looks a lot like mommy did when she was little- a cute, blue-eyed toe-head! To snuggle with Noah is a real treat! We love you Noah!!!!

Emmy-lou-who

This is my beautiful, five-year-old daughter, Emily. She loves to draw, write, dance, do crafts, go places, and is very management-oriented... a real go-getter. She always needs to know our schedule for the day and week. Emily is very independent. She is a big help around the house and is a great big sister to her two little brothers. She is very loving and giving, I love to get her hugs and kisses! She looks a whole lot like Daddy, with beautiful blue eyes to match. We love you Emmy!!!

Kiley and Kyle's temple day

I got to be Kiley's escort for her endowments. It was a happy day.

Sealed together for eternity!

Family members gathered together for the special occasion. Congratulations Kiley and Kyle!
