Easter





The day before Easter we spent the day at Grandma & Grandpa White's house. We did yard work, stuffed Easter eggs, cooked yummy food, played with cousins, planned our family Disneyland trip, and had a hall of an Easter egg hunt!




Easter morning at are house was early due to church starting at nine am. As you can tell it was not a fun morning with little Ms. Baylee; she cried for an hour and a half before church. We will know better next year and let the princess sleep in. After church we stopped by Nana Cherie's house and then went to Grandpa Riches and Jana's for a Birthday dinner for my Dad. It was a great day spent with family and most importantly remembering our Savior Jesus Christ and his Resurrection!

Rain Rain Go Away....





This month has been more than a little bit rainy but so many special things have happened in our family like the birth of my sweet little niece Rylee! Congrats to my brother Garrett & Holly!







Then Carson took third place in the pinewood derby and also had a very special singing program in school!



Brynlee & Baylee had their spring dance recital and both did a superb job!




April 19th I had my 33rd Birthday! The night before after the girls dance recital a bunch of us went to Wingers to celebrate my birthday. We had a great time. Then on my actual birthday I started the day off with a three mile run, then my friend Sarah and I took our kids to see the movie Hop. Then Warren and I took Brynlee to her second recital to dance and then we dropped her off and headed to the movies. It was a perfect day, spent with all the people I love most!




This week is spring break for my kids and it has rained pretty much every day. We have still braved the cold and headed to the park for a run for me and the skate park for the kids! This sweet picture is Baylee and my nephew George all bundled up for the run. I babysit George on Wednesdays and Thursdays, I think this week has been more fun for him with all the kids being home to spoil him!

14 Year Anniversary!



March 7th was our 14 year Anniversary! We started our celebration on Friday with the kids going to my dad's for the weekend. We had a great time together just hanging out watching movies, going to movies, dinners, cabela's, a baby shower for my soon to be niece, and sleeping in! We usually go out of town but things are tight so we did things around town. It didn't really matter where we were, we just really enjoyed each other. We are so good and our love is stronger today than it was 14 years ago. I have the most amazing husband! I could have never of dreamt to be this lucky. He treats me like a queen and I love the way we laugh together every day! I'm so excited for our future together, things are finally looking up for us. Warren just accepted a job as a superintendent for KNP Construction. We have been so dirt poor the past few months that we have had to get help paying our bills. I know with out a doubt that our Prayers have been answered! I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for his kindness and love for us, the Atonement is real and I am so Humbled.






On Monday the 7th my brother Skyler returned home from his mission. We are so excited for him and proud of the hard work that he has put into his mission. He is such a great example to me and my family and we are excited for his future. Welcome Home Sky, we love you!!

February Fun!


Valentine's Day the kids had the day off of school so Warren and I took them to Pirate Island Pizza in Orem. We had the best time as a family, Warren and I decided that this year we would have valentines day with the kids instead of going out together alone. I'm so glad that we did, the kids were so excited, we didn't tell them where we were going. The drive was full of questions and guesses of where we were headed and when we pulled up to Pirate Island Pizza they were so excited. The past few months have been really hard financially on our family so we were very blessed to scrounge up a little money to do this for the kids.


Connor hit jackpot while we were there!



Connor just finished rec basketball on Saturday, it was quite fun to watch. Connor was on a team with some of his football friends. Connor really improved by the end of the season, he was scoring baskets every game. Connor is so talented I can't wait to see what he does next!


Carson and his grandma Ohma made this cake for the Blue and Gold Banquet on Saturday. He is so proud, he even decorated most of it. Can you tell he loves football? What a cute kid, love his smile!

Families R 4ever...









This past weekend we went to St. George. My Grandma Rawson has been working real hard to get to the Temple and so Saturday we went to The St. George Temple and witnessed a very spiritual event. My Grandma took out her Endowments and was sealed to her parents. Then my grandma was sealed to my grandpa who passed away a few years ago and then my dad and his two sisters were sealed to my grandparents. It was such an amazing day filled with tears and love. I'm so glad that we can be with our Families for Eternity!

New Years Eve!!





We had a fun New Years Eve party at my dads eating yummy food and hanging out with family! I got a wild hair at 6:00 that evening to make chocolate scriptures for all the primary children in my ward. The Theme for the new year is " I know the Scriptures are True" so I found this cute idea and off I went. Thanks to my cute sister-in-law Linsey for helping me, it took us quite a few hours! It was so worth it to see how excited the children were when I gave them the yummy chocolate scriptures.

Our family has been so blessed this year, I am truly thankful for all the wonderful blessings that we receive. This has been a busy and hectic year but we have so much to be grateful for. This year in primary the theme has been “I know my Savior lives” and this I truly know with out a doubt. I am so grateful for my membership in his church and for his love for me. It’s so comforting to know that I will be with my family for Eternity. I love them more than I can say. I have the most loving husband and the sweetest children and the best family & friends. Thank you to each of you for touching my life and making me a better person! I hope each of you are filled with the love of Christ this Christmas Season!
