What a strong family

My Friend Cheri and her husband posted this quote from Joseph Smith on their blog in reference to their little sweetheart Macie, who passed away last Saturday. I was thinking that they were such a strong family to have these thoughts during such a hard time.


"The Lord takes away many, even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man and the sorrows and evils of the world. They are too pure, too lovely, to live on earth. Therefore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning, we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil and we shall soon have them again." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 196-197).

So sad

I'm so very sad today. My friend Cheri lost her sweet baby girl yesterday. Cheri was about 37 weeks pregnant. They named the baby Macie, she was 7lbs. Her husband did not say what happened, just that Cheri was recovering form a C-section. My prayers are with her and her Family. Please say a little prayer for them, I think we can all understand . It also makes my so thankful for my baby Katie and my family!

We have some news!

Today I went to the doctor and found out that I'm having a girl. We are very excited that Katie will be having a little sister. Have a good weekend!

Just a few thoughts!

I just wanted to say that I'm so excited that we get to find out if we are having a boy or a girl on Friday!

The weather is getting cooler everyday. I'm not a big fan of the snow or cold but I love winter clothes. Though, I have to admit that I got some new winter maternity clothes and I'm excited to wear them. I also got some new winter clothes for Katie and she just looks so cute in warm snuggly clothes.

I have re-connected with some old friends and it's so nice to catch up and see how everyone is doing. I just can't believe that we were all kids together and now we have kids. Time flies!

Also, Monday night football is on....... GO SAINTS!

It's been to long!!!!!

Hello Everyone,

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. A lot had been going on. As some of you know I'm pregnant. I'll be four months this Saturday. We are very excited about having another baby. The downside to the pregnancy is that I have been very sick. I started feeling sick at about six weeks and I have been sick ever since. I have had to go to the hospital and get an IV about 6 times and I can't eat very much. I am starting to feel a little better but I'm still nervous that the sickness will come back. My due date is March 9Th, 2009!

Rob and I have decided to say in Utah for one more year, so we will be here until next summer and then I'm not sure where we will go from there. Rob likes his job and enjoys the people he works with. Our Katie has been going to a home daycare and she loves it, she is a social butterfly. Katie gets to swim and do crafts and go for walks, I feel good when she is there when I don't feel good.

Rob, Katie and I went to New Orleans at the beginning of June for his sister Sarah's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and we had a wonderful time spending time with family and Friends. We really enjoy going to New Orleans and enjoying the different culture and weather, also I think we all love the yummy food.


Katie and I went to my mom's house at the end of June for a visit and we had a ton of fun. We went and saw Thomas the Train. We got to ride on Thomas and play some fun games. Katie had a good time and did not want to leave. My mom and I took Katie to the beach and my mom took Katie for rides in her red wagon in the park. We love visiting Mimi and pop-pop in California!

On a sad note some family friends of ours, The Hyers. Have moved to Arizona and we miss them very much but we know that they are happy there, we love you guys and miss the card games and girls night!

My mom came to visit for a few day and we had a lot of fun. She is a good cook and I love having her here. We got to have some girl time, we went and saw Nights in Rodanthe. We also went shopping. Katie loves having her Grammie here to play with her. I think they had a good time together. I miss not having her around. Also while she was here it was Rob's birthday and she babysat for us so we could go out on a date, oh and just so you know Rob is 27! what a old man!

As the summer is coming to an end the weather is cooling down, we are looking forward to the holidays and seeing family. Hope everyone is doing well, we love you all!


Sorry I don't have any pics right now, I'll post them later!

Dance Dance Dance!

Our Little Katie loves to dance, especially when Dora comes on. She gets so excited. She starts jumping and waving her arms and singing. Here are a few pictures of her Rocking out!

We have Friends that live across the street from us and they have a little Pomeranian named Sasha. Katie loves her so much and she has learned to say her name and now she asks about her all the time. We go over and visit a lot. It's so cute to see how excited she gets when she see Sasha. Here are a few pictures of them together.

Summer Time At The Park

Rob, Katie and I have been going to the park a lot lately. Katie loves to swing and to go down all of the slides, she is not afraid of anything!
