Our True Identity

These videos are spectacular. So true and the words are so lovingly spoken for us. When you get a moment, just watch them. If anything they will provide you with five minutes of peace in our otherwise crazy, busy lives.

Good Things to Come

Actually, watch the Motherhood: An Eternal Partnership with God video first. Then come back to this one. But watch both. It will make your heart happy and help you breathe a little better today. At least they did for me.



Go Elder Holland. LOVE him.

Motherhood:-An-Eternal-Partnership

Claire who? Oh Claire-bear!

I promise I really do have a baby. I know you only ever see pictures of Abby, but Claire really does exist. So here's some pictures to prove it! Seriously, she is the best baby in the world. She's just happy, fat, and content. She sleeps relatively well, naps well (most of the time), eats well... and she always manages to be asleep when I shop, go to the park, etc. It's rather convenient. Could a baby possibly be that good? I think Heavenly Father knew what I needed. ...or could handle... anyway. So here are some pictures of my beautiful chunky love!

Because this picture ROCKS. My family at the top of a hill in English Camp, Friday Harbor.

On a rainy Saturday morning...

Abigail managed to go GROCERY SHOPPING,

DRIVE a car,

Go CAMPING,

Visit the THREE BEARS and ARTHUR,


Eat BEIGNETS with Grandma,

and RIDE A WHALE.

No wonder this girl is out of energy. Oh wait. She's NEVER out of energy. This was all at the Children's Museum at the Seattle Center. It was perfect for a little girl who can't be climbing, swinging, etc. And yes, that was my mom. She's here to help me cope with the toddler and babe. Huzzah for moms!

This next pic is at the Redmond Town Centre outdoor mall. It's a just a little fountain set, but Abbs played in it with her friends Taylie and Kylie and had a blast. It's actually hot enough now to need the fountain. And A/C... which we don't have...

CHUNKY BABY LOVE. She's such a cutie. And so is the toddler that the hand belongs to on Claire's foot. I love her too.

Yay for Washington! I'm so glad my mom is here. It's been awesome and I don't think I can let her go. Abby is doing well. We've super appreciated the gifts from people to help her stay calm. It's been interesting trying to keep her entertained so the gifts have been awesome! We love you all. :) More pictures hopefully to come.
