Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I love and miss you all!

This One's for the Girls

I finally went shopping for my little girl! I wanted to get some really small things for her to wear because I have really small babies and people don't usually buy preemie sizes as gifts.
This first one will probably be the outfit she'll come home from the hospital in. I'll put a onesie under it. And of course I still need some hair bows.


This one will be her first Sunday outfit. I couldn't pass up the shoes! I do need a little white or pink sweater for it. It's suprizingly hard to find spring/summer clothes with sleeves.


And a swim suit for our back yard pool. That way she can hang by the pool with out brother getting her clothes all wet. I bought them all at a consignment store. (You know me I won't pay full price for anything.) They were great deals. And so cute!

A Special Witness of Jesus Christ

I hope you all had the oppurtunity to see the funeral services of our beloved Prophet. I know that he was the true Prophet of God and that he was called to be a special witness of Jesus Christ. I know he knew the Savior personally and that he lived his life as an example of Jesus Christ himself. I thank my Heavenly Father for a family that has stayed true and taught me about the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and how I can return to Him. I wanted to share with you Presient Hinckley's testimony of the man he strived to be like. May we all remember his example and testimony.

My Redeemer Lives, hymn no. 135

I know that my Redeemer lives,
Triumphant Savior, Son of God,
Victorious over pain and death,
My King, my Leader, and my Lord.
He lives, my one sure rock of faith,
The one bright hope of men on earth,
The beacon to a better way,
The light beyond the veil of death.
Oh, give me thy sweet Spirit still,
The peace that comes alone from thee,
The faith to walk the lonely road
That leads to thine eternity.

Five Years Ago...

I remember how hard it was to be away from home, how much I wish I could have been there to hold her hand and say good-bye and thank-you for being such a great example to us. I know she's happy and that she loves us and that we will see her again, but still I miss our neighbor lady so much sometimes.

What do you call cheese that isn't yours?

Well since i have a camera now it seems pretty fun to post new pictures and such on the blog so here is another one! I had a fun week, i went to the basketball game vs. oregon and it was awesome. we are planning on going to watch the stanford game in a couple weeks too!

These are my friends i went to the game with and the middle one is bryan my new good friend who lives a floor above me that i met the first day of church. We hang out quite a bit. This quarter is really cool, my clases are much chillaxed and less rigorous. It is nice and it has really allowed me to spend more time to focus on the more difficult chemistry and having more time to study, i find that i realyl enjoy it! Also, the new quarter has been fun because you start out knowwing people from last quarter and you arent just trying to meet new people. Its cool seeing everyone after break that you were so used to seeing and living with everyday! Also, im having a lot more fun with my roommates. A few nights we stayed up talking to each other and telling jokes and stuff and it was really fun. All three of us love the office ALOT and so we usually can be found going to the store to get ice cream and watching a season three in our room. its been fun getting to hang out wiht them more!

On the left is patrick a tall guy, and loves his laptop, and on the right is Abed who likes music and movies.

ANSWER: Nacho (Not your) cheese!

For Uncle Neil

Anytime you want to come down for a round-up, Cowboy Paul is ready!

Holiday fun!!

I know it has taken a while to put up the pictures, but its better late than never! The first one is of our wonderful family (well just the boys were home) going out on our annual christmas tree shopping. Neil started off the comic relief by wearing his nice christmas sweater he bought from a thrift shop, followed by carl's customized yet chic outfit and my bright retro sweater. Wow such a fashionable fam! The second picture is from Christmas morning as we were opening presents. It was the first picture i took on my new digital camera (thanks mom and dad!) It was sad not having Terra and Jeremy there but we still had fun!
