Alaena graduates.....

We had a wonderful time watching Alaena graduate from Eagle High School. We are so grateful that we can live close to eachother and share these special memories together. The evening was absolutely perfect. Thanks Alaena for letting us be a part of your life and thanks Caran & Mark for a yummy dinner at our favorite restaurant BARBACOA'S - the hot rock steak was divine!

My greatest blessings call me Mom....

Today was my first MOTHER'S DAY without my three darling daughters by my side. As I walked to church hand in hand with John, I took a moment to reflect on my greatest joys....Stephanie, Vanessa & Briana.
As a young wife thinking about children, I had always imagined having ALL BOYS...don't ask me why...I guess I just figured I was kind of a "tomboy". So, you can imagine my shock and apprehension when I started off with IDENTICAL TWIN GIRLS! It didn't take long for them to completely win me over and wrap themselves around my heart. Four years later, the doctor said..."you're having a boy!" John was pretty excited, but secretly I was worried about the whole boy thing. When Briana came out a GIRL, again I was shocked but this time my heart sang for joy...another girl...yet completely different than her sisters and full of energy and personality!
It wasn't until my girls left home that I realized we really were BEST FRIENDS before we came to earth. I love them with all my heart.
Mother's Day for me is EVERYDAY!
