My Shopping Buddy

I have taught her well!!!! She found my wallet and decided to play in it and found the great green stuff! She is definitely my shopping buddy, where ever we go she is all about grabbing everything and putting it in the cart.

Me and Jordyn at her 1st birthday. She wasn't really paying attention, there were to many people there she wanted to play with.

Jordyn's 1st birthday

She sure loved her cupcake! She downed that thing so fast and was such a mess!

I was just looking through some blogs and saw this on one of them and I just thought how true this is, especially what me and Andrew went through at the beginning of our marriage I don't know what i would have done with out my father in heaven. I think we need to really remember what we need to do to keep him with us always and that no matter what you are going through you can always count on him to be there!


"I ask everyone within the sound of my voice to take heart, be filled with faith, and remember the Lord has said He, "would fight [our] battles, [our] children's battles, and [the battles of our] children's children." And what do we do to merit such a defense? We are to "search diligently, pray always, and be believing. Then all things shall work together for [our] good, if [we] walk uprightly and remember the covenant wherewith [we] have covenanted." The latter days are not a time to fear and tremble. They are a time to be believing and remember our covenants.

I have spoken here of heavenly help, of angels dispatched to bless us in time of need... I testify of angels, both the heavenly and the mortal kind. In doing so, I am testifying that God never leaves us alone, never leaves us unaided in the challenges that we face. "Nor will he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand, or there shall be one man [or woman or child] upon the face thereof to be saved." On occasions, global or personal, we may feel we are distanced from God, shut out from heaven, lost, alone in dark and dreary places... but even then the Father of us all is watching and assisting. And always there are those angels who come and go all around us, seen and unseen, known and unknown, mortal and immortal.

May we all believe more readily in, and have more gratitude for, the Lord's promise as contained in one of President Monson's favorite scriptures: "I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left,... my Spirit shall be in your [heart], and mine angels round about you, to bear you up." In the process of praying for those angels to attend us, may we all try to be a little more angelic ourselves - with a kind word, a strong arm, a declaration of faith and "the covenant wherewith [we] have covenanted." Perhaps, then we can be emissaries sent from God..."

So these are just a bunch of pictures we got done for her 1st birthday! She looks so darn cute in them i had to share them with everyone. Her birthday is on the 24th of April so there will be more pictures to come. We got a lot of them in her tutu which i love!!!! She is taking a few steps here and there but isn't quite there yet. So we are so thankful for her and are so excited for the next 18 years to see her grow. 

So this is one of my favorite pictures we took! It is a little blurry but she was clapping at the time, but her face is just so adorable!!!!

She isn't always this happy taking pictures but this day was different.

Well it is a new year and I am ready to take this one head on as I did this last one. We had a great year this past one we adopted our wonderful daughter which she will be turning one this year so that is something we get to look forward to. Another thing I get to look forward to is my best friend from high school is having her first baby in August and I am so excited for her!! Plus I am sure we have many more blessings that will come this year, but what they are we don't know as long as we stay true to our heavenly father we will be blessed as we were this past year. I just want to thank my family and friends for being there for me when ever I needed them especially for being there when we were sealed and blessed to Jordyn that really meant a lot to me! I also want to thank my sister Jessica for being able to be there with me at the temple and to hold Jordyn while we were at the alter I loved having you there and I just want you to know that you are an amazing woman! You are a great example to me (even for being my little sister) you are so good to your husband and kids and boy are they adorable. Keep positive and keep being a good example to the people around you! I love you !!!!!! So I hope everyone has a great New Year!!!!!
