WOOHOO!!!



DISNEYLAND HERE WE COME!!! So we leave this afternoon for Disneyland. Can I just say I am way more than ecstatic that we are going. I have been wanting to go with Mike since we got married, so we decided we would make it our trip for our 2nd anniversary which we celebrated earlier this month. The only downfall is that I am leaving my baby :( I'm afraid I'm gunna end up having a total breakdown. How do all you mommies out there do it? I almost cry just thinking about the fact that I'm not going to see her until Monday night. I know my sister Emily and her family are going to take great care of her, but still, a baby needs her mommy. At least I hope that my baby needs me :( She probably won't even notice I'm gone and that makes me sadder than the fact that I'm leaving her. We are going to have a great trip though. We will go to Disneyland Friday and Saturday then drive down to San Diego and spend Sunday and Monday morning, then drive home Monday afternoon. We are going with Mike's cousins Brian and Carrie with their daughter Addie and Brian's mom Gloria. Saturday is Brian's birthday so he gets in free. LUCKY!! It is going to be wonderful. Just cross your fingers that I don't have an emotional breakdown this weekend :) I heart Disneyland!!!

Why Mormons Build Temples

We are so grateful for the opportunity we have to share this video to all those who may wonder about our belief in temples. Going to the temple has been, and continues to be a wonderful blessing to our little family. It is a place that we can go and feel close to our Heavenly Father and to learn and be guided by Him. It is a place where we can feel Heavenly Father's goodness and peace in a world that is chaotic and scary.

We invite all to view this video and we pray that you might better understand "why Mormons build temples".

Crazy Huh??

So my sister put this together and I thought it was both crazy and totally cute! This is a picture of my older sister Melissa when she was 3 months old and then one of the pictures of Alena at 6 months old. Now if that isn't a family resemblance, I don't know what is.

Alena Marie - 6 Months Already



My Oh My!!! Where has the time gone!?! Little Alena is 6 months old already. Can you believe it? This week Alena cut her first tooth. Sweet girl. . .she has been so uncomfortable and all she wants is to be held. That is one of the greatest feelings. . .to know that my holding her seems to make everything better! We are so grateful for our sweet baby girl. We love you Teeny!
