New Family Pictures

My wonderful mother came to Spokane last weekend to take our yearly family pictures. My mom is an amazing photographer and I think she did a great job. Here are just a couple of the pictures she took.

A Couple Church Things

I love my church so much. I feel so grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know that this gospel has blessed my life in so many ways. I believe in the leaders of this church. I just wanted to share a couple of great things about my church. This video is from one of the leaders of the church and has helped me realize how much Heavenly Father loves me and how important my role as a mother is.



Also, my church is doing a some really cool adevertisements in certain cities in the U.S. The videos show the lives of real LDS families. They are pretty fun to watch. Go to mormon.org to read some profiles and watch some great clips of LDS people.

Random Pictures of Jaxon

I haven't put many pictures up of Jaxon so I thought I would share some from the last month.

Jaxon at 1 month

Still very jaundice here

I love this picture, one of my favorites

First time being able to sit in his Bumbo. He is getting a lot better at holding up his head

He has been smiling a lot more lately and it is so fun to watch

His church outfit. Unfortunatley, it is already too small. Time to go shopping.

Just a cute picture of Brett with his baby boy. I love thse guys!

A Special Trip

Brett amd I decided a couple years ago that when the girls turn twelve it would be fun to take them on a special daddy daughter trip down to conference. Well this year it was Makenna's turn. She turns 12 this October, so she and Brett took a road trip down to Utah. Makenna was in heaven the entire time. Any time I called them she was so excited and in the best mood. They were able to go to a football game, walk around temple square, shop at the BYU bookstore, and attend a couple sessions of confrence. I am glad the girls got this experience with their dad.

It's like where's waldo. Can you find them?

Blessing Day

This Sunday Jaxon got his blessing at church. We were blessed to have many friends and my family there. Brett did a great job with the blessing. Afterwards we all went over to our house to celebrate September birthdays. It was actually Ben's birthday (Kim's husband) that day. We all had so much fun!

My mom made his white blanket and a lady from church made his blessing outfit. It was so cute.

My dad

I just love this little guy so much. I can't believe how big he is already. Tomorrow he will be one month. Hopefully I will remember to take a picture!

A Trip To Leavenworth

Brett's brother just got back from Kuwait (I think that's where he was) and his family was visiting Leavenworth before moving to Guam. We haven't seen them in over three years, so we decided to head over for the weekend. We had so much fun hanging out with their family and of course I always love seeing Gloria and Pat (Brett's parents).

While we were there Kyra had her birthday. We didn't get to do anything too special but she loved seeing all of her cousins and spending time with them. This is her opening presents with Audrey.

Makenna and her cousin Julia. Believe it or not, Julia and Audrey are sisters!

Sunday Activity

A couple weeks ago we took a family drive up to Mt. Spokane. Brett wanted to show us his mountain biking spots and I thought it would be fun to hike around, It was so beautiful at the top of the mountain. I thought it wasa great Sunday activity for us.
