My pride and joy!

Ok so I am pretty proud of my sweet baby and think that she is beautiful and perfect! I can't help but take picture after picture of her pretty little self (neither can my mom!!). So here are a few of those pictures...

I am pretty sure Braxton loves his new cousin! He is so sweet with her, and so helpful. It is so cute!

We blessed Sarah Lynn on July 5. She looked so beautiful. We had quite a bit of family show up and we were very grateful. Thank you to all all who came to show their support!

Four generations...

We took Sarah Lynn in and had pictures taken when she was 1 month old (July 4). They turned out really cute!

Message from a Prophet

"We know not all that lies ahead of us. We live in a world of uncertainty. For some, there will be great accomplishment. For others, disappointment. For some, much of rejoicing and gladness, good health, and gracious living. For others, perhaps sickness and a measure of sorrow. We do not know. But one thing we do know. Like the Polar Star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith.
In sunshine and in shadow we look to Him, and He is there to assure and smile upon us."
-President Gordon B. Hinkley

If I tell you I love you, can I keep you forever?

When they ask me what I liked best, I’ll tell them it was you.

I guarantee there’ll be tough times; I guarantee that at some point, one, or both of us is gonna want out of this thing; but I also guarantee, that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life…because I know in my heart, that you’re the only one for me.

You are what I never knew I always wanted.

I love that you get cold when it is 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.
