First Day of School 2011

Victor's 2 yr old Portraits

Amalia's Baptism

We wanted to share some pictures from Amalia's special day. It was beautiful. It was so refreshing and encouraging to feel of the newness of baptism and to remind myself of the atonement and the gift of the Holy Ghost. We are so blessed to have been able to share it with our family too:) Really . . . days like this day remind me of how I feel heaven will be like.

Fiesta Days Rodeo

The kiddos had never been to a rodeo...so a few weeks ago we went with my parents...we all had a great time:) There is something about rodeo that is uniquely American West. I love the country music, the flags and the cowboy hats! Victor loved all the cows, horses, sheep , cowboys and cowgirls:)

Fun Fun Times....We Will Miss You

My Dad is SO TALENTED.... he turned a dark, dusty, storage closet into the my favorite room in the house in just 4 days! That's electrical, dry wall, mudding, tapping, painting, finish work, flooring and built in furniture. I am in sewing heaven! Don't you love it:) The best part is, if I am right in the middle of something I can leave it, shut the door and not have to clear the kitchen table of my sewing stuff before dinner:) We have had so much fun having them so close... we get to see them every day even if it's just a few minutes. We've been to the rodeo, Farm Country, shopping, dinners, sewed, BBQ's, birthday celebrations and late night visits. We are sad it is coming to an end very soon we will miss my Dad very much:) and are happy Mom will be here for a little while longer.

Notice the chair in the pictures....It was my Grandma Kerksiek's and I think of her each time I sit on it:)
