Congratulations Lonnie!

Lonnie has spent the last 18 weeks enduring countless hours of hard work, study, physical and mental stress. He did it though! He graduated from ALEA this past Friday. I know that he worked extremely hard for this and I am so proud of him! Now comes the scary part...the streets!

What a fun weekend!

This past Friday Lonnie's mom came by to visit me and the children and she brought us lunch. Then we were able to chat for some time while the children took their naps. It was really nice and I truly enjoyed just talking! Hopefully when Grandma retires at the end of the year we can have little "dates" like this more often. Then...Michelle got to spend the night at Grandma & Grandpa Durham's house for the first time! She kept on saying, "Mommy I go to Grandma's house and you go to mommy's house." I felt bad because she kind of invited herself. Oh, well. I think it's safe to say that she and her grandparents had fun! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa!

This Saturday we celebrated Mason's 3rd Birthday! He loves Spider Man lately...so that's what we had a Spider Man Party! Thank you to Grandma & Grandpa Durham, Aunt Candice, Grandma & Grandpa Moffitt, Uncle Chad, Cousins Kyan & Lola, and Great Grandpa & Grandma Durham for helping us celebrate!

Happy Happy Birthday Mr. Mason

I cannot believe that little Mason is turning 3 today! It's amazing how quickly they grow up. From starting out at 6lbs 2oz to now close to 30lbs. Wow! Anyways...Happy Birthday Mason!

Wonderful News....

We just received our adoption date for Saige & Gage! It will be August 2nd at 2:00 pm. We are sooo excited! Lonnie's cousin gets home from his mission on August 20th so we are hoping to go to the Temple the Saturday after he returns home!

My Poor Baby!

So Mason had his big surgery today. Everything went just fine. Of course, he is really sore. He won't take his pain medications so this ought to be so much fun. I just hope that everything heals up quickly and doesn't cause him too much pain. He really is such a trooper!

Good Night

I love this picture of Gage. He is the first of my children who likes to snuggle with animals. He is such a blessing to our family!

Tuesday Night Volleyball

Okay...so there has been a lot of confusion about volleyball at the Stake Center on Tuesday nights. Please note that for the next couple of months it is men's volleyball. Therefore, our Tuesday night fun is over with for a while (at least at this location). Please let everyone know. Thanks!

Haley & Brent

I have had one amazing experience working with Haley these last couple of months on her wedding. She had a beautiful day last Saturday and I just wanted to say thank you so much to all of those that helped...you know who you are. I'm so grateful for the opportunity that I had to get to know Haley better. She is such an amazing and inspiring person. I truly am going to miss her. Congratulations to both her and Brent!

Such a Beautiful Family!

This morning I had such a fun time photographing this beautiful family. They are one of the many wonderful families that are moving now that school is over. I wish them the very best of luck!

This one is just for Jenni!

Finally...Mason's Photo Shoot

This is looong over due. I must say that this was the most difficult photo shoot ever. He is very hard to work with. Nonetheless, I love this little guy so much and he is such a stud in his white suit that he wore when he was sealed to us!

Happy Little Boy!

I cannot believe how fast Gage is growing up! He is so big and so much fun. He is by far the happiest baby we have had. He is such a blessing to our family!
