Closing a chapter....

-
Seriously, I can't believe it! Part of me wants to jump for joy and part of me wants to cry an ocean of tears....In six weeks our family starts a new chapter in our lives...one that is bittersweet...I can't wait to see his face...to hold him in my arms for the first time...to call him by his name as I look into his eyes...to hear his tender cries...to feed him...to love him...and to see how Natali, Noah, Kate and Sophia take to him...and to see Nathan hold him too...there is nothing more wonderful than to see the man you love take a child you created together and hold them for the first time but also playing with them and loving them...the precious moments in life...
It is hard to believe that the time has come to close this chapter of actually creating a new life and giving birth...it is such a miraculous moment...one that really if I didn't have to give up would just love to keep going...but we all know for my benefit to see them grow and learn that this time has come to wrap up this chapter of our lives...and move to the next exciting chapter or seeing them all grow, learn and develop and become responsibile citizens and honorable children of our Heavenly Father.
I know it is a bit sentimental of a post but how can you not reflect on the wondeful gifts that are given to you and to recognize the divine hand that has been in our lives to see these five beautiful children join our family. We have a GREAT family! I am proud...and I am not disappointed in the least...we have been hugely blessed and I am grateful for the ability to carry them and bring them to this earth and honored that Heavenly Father has blessed us to raise them...

They are beautiful....

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
