Your baptism will come soon enough and it will be the most special day ever!

 

Singing Angel!

Our sweet little Penny was asked to sing in sacrament on ward conference Sunday. Penny was so excited to sing. She had been working on the song "My Own Sacred Grove". She knew just who to ask to play for her. Thank you Tiffany for always accompanying Penny! Tiffany is such an amazing pianist. We are so grateful for her. Penny did amazing! Nailed it up there!  She is a singing angel! So confident and calm. A natural. A singing angel. Boy did she bring that spirit into the room. As soon as she began to sing you could feel the spirit rush in. There wasn't a dry eye in the crowd. She is such a beautiful singer. Made her momma and daddy so proud.

She had lots of support to come hear her sing. Such an overwhelming feeling of love.  This was the 1st time Penny sang without my dad being there in person. He never missed one of her performance so Penny was a little sad that grandpa John couldn't be there in person. He was definitely there in spirit along with Grandma Penny. I know they were they smiling down. So proud of their grandbaby. Times like these are hard and especially for my kids too, but we know they were there. We could feel it. Thanks to all my siblings and family that came to support Penny. It means the world to her and me. I love my family so much! Can't wait to hear our singing angel perform again. She said she can't wait to sing again. She absolutely loves to sing and perform. Love my sweet Penny so much. 

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter! These kids had us up  bright and early to see if the Easter Bunny found them! Did that bunny ever find them! They were squealing and jumping for joy for their baskets filled with surprises! I love seeing the excitement on their faces! The biggest hit was the air-fort that Cash got in his basket! it is the coolest fort ever! You add a box fan on one end and it completely lifts up into a dome fort room! The kids could stand up in it! Our whole family fit laying down in it too! Super cool! Seriously so fun even for me and Chad! lol 

Once all the Easter excitement settled we enjoyed general conference together as a family. I love when it's conference time. Love listening to our Prophet and all the general authorities speak. It fills my mind and spirit! With Easter approaching we have been focusing on Jesus's Resurrection! Because of Him we are an eternal family! Because of Him we can  live again! Because of Him I can see not only my mom  but now my dad again! So many things I can list off because of Him! I'm grateful for my Heavenly Father and Jesus in my life! It has been a very special day thinking of my dad and mom and the atonement! I will hold strong to my Heavenly Father and Jesus for the day I will be reunited with my dad and mom  again.  What a glorious day that will be. We ended our wonderful Easter watching the new release of The Chosen! The life of Jesus Christ! Such a beautiful Easter!

Easter Fun!!

Saturday we woke up and hit the day with the Ivans Town Easter Egg Hunt! They had the big grassy area separated off into age groups! 3...2..1.... go hunt for those eggs!!! Piper got 45 eggs! Cash got 35 eggs! Penny got 25 eggs! They were running and grabbing those eggs so fast!! Love this tradition with my sister and her family! Cousin time is the best time!! 

After the 1st egg hunt we headed to the next hunt! My Aunt Jill's! I love being around my cousins and their kids! My kids have so much fun with their extended cousins too! We ate yummy food and treats! Aunt Jill planned out 3 different treasure hunts! Each hunt was a different age group and each  age group got harder and harder to find the treasure! The kids had a blast! They even dug for their treasure! Seriously so fun!! After the treasure hunts the kids went on a big Egg Hunt! In between the activities the kids dyed eggs with flowers, leaves and string! Such a wonderful time with family!

Chad's 1st Spartan Race!

After our busy weekend of Balloons and Blessing up in St George with my family we headed to Littlefield for Chad's 1st Spartan Race! As we were pulling in we could see the obstacles! Holy Moly the looked so hard! I kept telling chad you can back out it's not too late! lol Nope there was no backing out for him! He was so pumped up and ready to hit this 20 obstacle course hard!  The pics from this top collage are the ones that the Spartan Race took while he was killing it on the course! lol Love these action shots! So proud of my honz!

These are the photos I got before the race! The kids were so nervous for their daddy! lol He has been working so hard on his 75 Hard challenge! He's down 36lbs and lots of inches around! He was ready for this race!

These are the photos I took during the race and the finish line. There was only 1 spot that we could see him during the race! The kids were so excited when they spotted their dad out their killing it!! They were screaming and cheering him on! "Go Daddy Go!" They were so proud of their daddy! Chad was extremely proud of himself. He was happy that he could do all the obstacle! I guess that 75 hard challenge has been working! lol He was stronger than he thought he was! I love it! So proud of my honz! Chad said this is the 1st of many Spartan races to come! He loved it! Now to get me out there racing side by side him.....lol.....nope not for me! lol I'll watch and cheer from the sidelines with the kids! :)

A Very Fun and Special Weekend Together!

We kicked off spring break up in St George! We were "cousin Eddie" with our trailer parked in front of  my sister's  front yard! lol. Ryan's family, Eryn and Joanna came up too. It was a weekend of celebrating Daddy! Daddy just had his Birthday! It was the first birthday with out him here! His first Heavenly Birthday! Ryan cooked daddy's famous Dutch oven chicken, potatoes and apple cobbler! We shared many stories and memories of dad! We love hearing the kids share their memories of grandpa! It's the best ever! Cousin time is the best time and they all had a blast together!

On Saturday Eryka picked up yellow sunshine balloons! Enough for each of dad's 4 kids, 4 in laws, and 11 grandkids! Sunshine reminds us of daddy! We all wrote special notes to daddy/grandpa and even mom/grandma! Tears were a flowing reading the sweet messages to grandpa and grandma! We then tied the notes to each balloon! Lined up for pictures then it was time  to let them go to Heaven! Ryan gave a beautiful prayer! Then we sang Happy Birthday to daddy/grandpa and off the balloons went into the sky up to Heaven! It was very peaceful! The grandkids loved it! We all miss our daddy and grandpa so much! We still can't really believe he is actually gone! It was a beautiful day to honor and pay tribute to our dad and grandpa!

All of dad and mom's kids together and their 11 grandkids! While we were up at the grave Eryka gave each sibling a beautiful surprise. She printed the last picture we had together with our dad up at the grave visiting our momma almost 1 year before daddy passed. On the picture she had the eulogy that my brother wrote and read at the dad's funeral printed and framed. The frame Zane picked out and it was a rustic western style that reminded Zane of his grandpa! Also given was a small box and in the box was a puzzle piece keychain that said "sister" on one side and Dad and Mom's "initials" in their hand writing on the back. The puzzle piece fits with my other 2 sisters pieces and my brothers piece forming a Heart! You can see it in this photo collage above. We were all crying. Such a special thought out gift to always remember our loving parents. I'm tearing up as I'm typing this into my blog.  I love any and every chance I can get to be with my siblings and their families. We had such a wonderful day!

 On Sunday Eryka and Adam blessed grand baby 11 for my dad and mom! Baby Vaughn Adam! He's a perfect little angel baby! Such a sweet baby boy! We were all so sad that daddy wasn't here to see his last grand baby be blessed! There will be so many special events to come that both my mom and dad will miss and it just breaks our hearts but we know they are both watching and smiling down on us! Adam gave a beautiful blessing for baby Vaughn! Eryka, Zane and Hayes each shared their testimony's in sacrament that had us all in tears. The Spirit was strong and I know Dad and Mom were there. So proud!  Another great day together! In fact it was a perfect weekend together! I love my family!
