OH HAPPY DAY!!

Well , I wanted to post good news for those of you who knew of my husband's job situation! He finally found a full time job. He will continue to do some things on the side to supplement his income. It looks like we will be able to get into our house. A ll I have to say is prayer is an amazing and wonderful thing. It has been about 6 months of praying, fasting, and having great faith. I am indeed grateful to my Father in Heaven as well as my Savior for all of the wonderful blessings that we have received during this period of time. Thanks to all who continued to pray for our family because your prayers have been answered. I appreciate all of the words of wisdom as well.

Birthday Fun!!

We enjoyed a surprise birthday party for my mom this weekend. All of my siblings were there except for my brother Roy who is in Kuwait. We had it at wonderful place called Hibachi Grill. I even made my mom a gluten free birthday cake. My mom cannot eat anything with gluten for those of you who do not know her. It was a lovely evening and I know she was surprised! I love my mom very much and am grateful to her for all that she has taught my throughout my life. She is a wonderful example to my family!


Believe it or not I am the oldest sibling in my family.


This is my mom and Aunt Elaine. They are fraternal twins so you guessed it was her birthday too.

My Best Friend


This is my best friend. A person who knows me better than I know myself. Gregg is a very giving, loving,patient, and trusting person. He always knows how to make you smile. He is the positive one in our relationship and also my rock. It has been a wonderful 15 years of marriage and I hope we will have a terrific 15 more. I love him more now than ever because we share that special eternal bond that cannot be broken. I am excited to be able to be with him throughout all eternity.






Gregg is the best father in the world. His kids think he walks on water.









Gregg never forgets how to have fun.




He loves all of his girls, also.









Gregg will always be a hard worker and good provider for his family. He always amazes me how he can fix just about anything.


Happy Anniversary My Only True Love!!! You are my best friend and I love you forever!!




Caroline Is "13"




Caroline and her friend Chelsy enjoy some pizza at her party.


It is hard to believe that I have a teenager under my care. Caroline finally is a teenager. Where did that sweet little tiny baby go? She is growing up and is on her way to womanhood. Caroline has been through a tough time this year with her surgery. She is a real trooper and I am very proud of her. Happy Birthday Caroline! Your family loves you very much!!

Service WIth a SMILE!

We participated in a service project the Fayetteville Stake to help clean up Fayetteville. It was sponsored by the City of Fayetteville. There were other churches and groups there that participated also.
We wore the helping hands pullover with our church's name on it. It was overwhelming to me because our church by far had the most participants. It was a great experience and I am grateful I could serve.
This was one of the many groups that picked up trash in our stake.


President Joseph Catlett is a wonderful friend, father, husband and example to the saints in the Fayetteville Stake.
He asked us to attend and serve in this project. He was very pleased with the response. So many people love him and know that he will lead us in the right direction. I know that is why so many people showed up to do their part.


Egg Hunt

This was our second egg hunt. We did one the day before and my battery wasn't charged.Dang! I was able to get a few pictures at Grandmas house. We decorated our eggs and the kids really enjoyed it. Leftovers made deviled eggs and egg salad all week. YUM!
