Halloween Scare

I couldn't manage to write a new post for almost a week. (I just love my hubby's post and video!) Halloween was really scary for my family. Earlier in the morning, Baby Pearl had fallen off the couch onto the carpet hitting the back of her head. About an hour later she vomited about three times. So we decided we'd better take her to the Children's Hospital to get checked out. She was running a mild fever when we got there and had to have a CT scan to make sure that everything was okay. A few hours and prayers later the Dr. came in the room and told me that she was fine, but that we should take her in for a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician. I took her home and felt so relieved! We took the kids out trick or treating and finished up the holiday. Baby Pearl is doing just fine now, and I am so grateful! I have a testimony of the power of Prayer and Faith. I am very thankful for the blessing that we have the ability to communicate with our Father in Heaven not only in our day-to-day lives but when we are faced with the trials that truly test our faith.


"Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with asurety bhope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which chope cometh of dfaith, maketh an eanchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in fgood works, being led to gglorify God."-- Ether 12:4 (The Book of Mormon)

Happy Anniversary Ane:2009

Good Morning Honey,

I needed to hi-jack your blog for a moment so that I can publicly share my affection and gratitude for you. You are an excellent mother and equally a loving partner. Eight years has flown by and I am excited for the future. I am grateful for your patience, empathy, understanding, and diligence within all that we do.

I appreciate your willingness to remain optimistic during our tough times. The strength that you provide enables me to push forward despite tough and turbulent conditions. I depend on you to maintain our home while working full-time and going to school full-time; and most men would probably agree that what we do in the workplace is a lot less stressful than taking care of kids--let alone, five vibrant and diverse personalities.

I am truly grateful for the wonderful example that you set for our children. Your adherence and testimony of the Gospel of Christ is both, true and exemplary of unconditional love. I have made a Flash-movie for you. I would of embedded the video/movie on this website but I am worried about your load-times.

Happy Anniversary!

I invite you and your readers to view this movie. I want to reciprocate the love and affection that you have expressed for me. Love you! French Toast & Pancakes.

8 Years of LOVE

Next week's our 8th wedding anniversary! The trials we have had seemed to bring us closer to one another and strengthen our trust and love. The greatest blessings have been our kids along with a growing understanding of what it means to build an eternal marriage. (Just because it's Eternal doesn't mean it is going to be perfect each day.) We have our hard days, but we have managed to keep one thing going that has always seemed to help us. And that has to do with humility. Never going to bed angry at one another and apologizing no matter who started the argument. I have a hard time holding a grudge and my husband has such a love for me that, even if it is my fault, he always apologizes even when it was my wrong. (He's so sweet!) I definitely am so blessed to have a wonderful husband who has loved me unconditionally. He works hard in school and at his job.

One memory that I will always cherish is when I was pregnant with our first child. He went out and bought a body pillow to make sure that I was very comfortable, along with beautiful flowers and a card. He does little things each day to remind me that he loves me.

*My new photo header above is a new family tradition. I took the kids to take a picture at the restaurant where we met. I plan on doing this each year in front of this wall. I made an album for Kenneth with photos from where we met, where we had our first date etc.
(He loved it!)

To my husband:

How blessed I am to have you to share this life with.


You are my heaven on earth.

Thank you for 8 wonderful years

our beautiful kids and for being the

amazing man that you are!

I am the luckiest woman ever!

--Love me
