St. Patty's

I make corned beef and cabbage every spring...taking the tradition from my mom's side. I'm not Irish, but THIS is a tradition that will continue.

A Very Barry Friday

We have these random last-minute parties every once in a while. Friday, Devin and Allison sacrifice their night for the Very Barry Party Cause.

Al grabbed our camera apparently and took a few pictures without us knowing....Are you hiding in the kitchen?! Hilarious!!!!!!

Ella LOVED holding Sam. Of course, every time she sees him she pretends to be a baby for the next 48 hours.

Anniversary Update

We had a fantastic anniversary day yesterday! First we brought the kids to Gogo's for an all-day adventure (they picked oranges and watched show, Ella ate and ate). Thanks Gogo!

We drove off to In-n-Out for burger and fries...I scarfed it down.


Weird smiles.


Then we spent the afternoon at the Mesa Temple, reflecting and counting our blessings.
Here, 8 years ago, our life together started. We survived the "7 year itch" and we are pressing forward with a bright future ahead. Together, as we entered the House of God, we were able to reconnect and remember what life together means... Hard work, self-sacrifice, enduring to the end, forgiveness, repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. We'll keep taking it one day at a time, on our knees in prayer together, reading scriptures on the couch every morning, and laughing at the kids!

Celebrating 8 years today!!

8 years STRONG.
