My Birthday Boys and more!!

Happy Birthday to this incredible man! I love you Loren!! I am so blessed to have him as my best friend!! He's the hardest worker I know, but knows how to make life so much fun too!! I am grateful that he is a wonderful father. We are so lucky to have this adventurous guy a part of our lives! We love you!!!

This girl was so funny! She expressed to me that it didn't hardly hurt, especially because how much everyone warned her that it would hurt. She was so worried. She's way tougher than me!! I had to remind her that this was nothin' compared to what this strong girl has/is already gone through in the last 13 years! At least a dozen surgeries, 1000's of therapies, procedures, falls, broken feet, stitches, wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, glasses and learning to advocate and inspire! Love this Charming, funny, hard working, inspirational girl! She blesses my life!

Happy birthday to my son Austin! What an incredible young man!! It's been a fun weekend of celebrations!! Late night game nights and lots of laughing!!😝😂❤️🎂🎈family is what matters most!

I always love the first day of school and all the excitement! And my little man is in kindergarten! He wore that R2D2 backpack all day long! So excited about all our new and fabulous teachers! Shout out to Snowflake Taylor school District teachers, thank you for all you do! We Love you and are so grateful to you! @ Snowflake Unified School District #5

After 12 years of waiting and lots of cortizone shots, therapies, Protandim...
I finally got shoulder surgery from Dr. Ian Brimhall on August 12, just after the kids started school.  My fear is that my nerves in my hand will be injured and I won't be able to illustrate. I pray and have faith that all will be okay.




Exciting Day with the Solar Eclipse. Glad I got to Experience this with the kids! And of course had to turn it into an art project!! Thank you teachers for the fun too!

Summer Excitement! ~Tatiyee, Merrill Reunion, Pioneer Days, 20 year Reunion!!!

Celebrated Kalicia's best friend, Jaydee's,

So lucky to have such a wonderful family!! Merrill Reunion was a hit!! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Merrill!💙

It was so fun catching up with classmates! The class of '97! We even got a special visit from Barry and Risa Udall. We sure did miss all those who were unable to make it! #stjohnsredskins #classof1997







We enjoyed spending part of the summer, learning about our ancestors.
It was so encouraging to see the struggles they went through, knowing
we can do hard things!  Loved seeing who some of these incredible
pioneers we were related too!  Loved seeing the excitement of my
children as they came to understand and gain a love for their family.
