First steps...

Well, Austin isn't walking but we did capture his few first steps!

Ignore my pj's

Tree trimming...

Joshua was so excited to decorate the tree. He picked out our tree this year all by himself. It think he did a great job!

Thanksgiving

We were lucky to have my Mom in town for Thanksgiving. This year I am so thankful for my family, and my blessings. We have been blessed in so many ways. I am grateful to my loving Heavenly Father who constantly lifts us up, protects us, and shows us his unconditional love.

Memories and change

My friend Bridget asked me to post some pictures of my horse Stanley when he was younger. As I started looking through my pictures, I started to reminisce about two of my passions, horses and dirt bikes. Both of which I used to love to do but I don't have the time these days. Which I think is okay. Life is about change and really nothing ever stays the same. Having lost my Dad this year, I understand that fully. You can't stay young forever nor can your loved ones.

This is me on my first horse, Honey. When I was 6 years old, I rode her in the Carson Valley Days Parade all by myself. I was so proud.

At this point in my life, my priorities are my children and Jarom. I think that is how it is meant to be. I love my little family. I know in a few years I will be able to do my hobbies that I love. I really miss ripping across the dunes on my dirt bike and competing on my horse Stanley. One thing I know for sure is we must enjoy the journey along the way. Thanks for letting me share! Oh, I am #88, and those are my two girlfriends I used to ride with. We had so much fun!
