Carson's First Hunting Trip Fall 2007

President Hinckley/Idaho Falls Temple

Picture drawn by: Paul R. Smith

My brother, Paul drew this pencil drawing, I believe in 1996. I have always loved this picture, but now it is very much a cherished keepsake. What an amazing life President Hinckley lived. If we can only take a small portion of his counsel into our lives we will be better people for doing so.

Eternal Families

Our family had the opportunity to go to the Rexburg Temple Open House on January 16th. What an amazing experience! Being able to do this with our children was so special! I just sat back and watched their expressions and the excitement of being in the temple. The temple is beautiful! All of the kids commented on how beautiful the temple is inside. It is my hope that they remember this experience and cherish this opportunity that they had.

SNOW DAY!

New Year's Eve 2007

What a fun day playing in the snow. Snow had been falling all day and so the kids decided to play outside and build a snowman. It is so much fun to hear the laughter and the giggles of our children. Being a mom is one of the most rewarding experiences we have in life. Yes, challenging at times, but so incredibly rewarding.
