Temple Square

Temple Square is always an amazing place to visit. But during Christmas Time you feel such an amazing spirit. I really wanted to go up this year because Ben has never Been there during Christmas Time. So of course it wasn't easy it was bad weather and such a busy time of year but we made it! We had such an amazing time and a lot of my family got to come with us and share that great spirit that was felt. My Family is amazing to support my Crazy Ideas that I come up with. I know that it wasn't easy for all of them. But I had a wonderful time. Bella loved every minute of it she kept pointing and saying "light light" She loved it. Ben said of course that it was amazing and loved it. We definatly have to do this again every year! It is always good to take that time from our busy lives and remember really why we are here and why we celebrate this wonderful time of year!

My Mom is DONE!! She had her last dose of Chemo on Friday! It was so much fun.....I know that sounds funny but it was great me and my sisters got to go up to Provo and spend the day with her to celebrate! She does have a CT in 2 weeks and then another Colonoscopy a week later to make sure everything is clear but I really do think that it will be ok! My mom has been so strong through it all. Dr Bott told her that she is an amazing person that she is one of very very few that actually make it all the way through with the full dose the whole time. He said that usually he has to cut doses down cause people are not able to handle it! So for now we are going to pray that everything comes back great! And then really celebrate!! So we really had fun with all the sisters shopping talking eating.... It is amazing how much fun we have when we all get together! During my mom's chemo I think the nurses were getting a little annoyed cause we were laughing and joking around maybe even being a little too loud! It was great I hope that she had fun!! I love my mom and I am so Proud of her for being so strong!!

So I was reviewing my pictures I have been taking throughout the month of October. Ben just bought me Photoshop and I am trying so hard to even get use to it. I still don't know how to work it. Anyways I saw this picture from the night we did a FHE with our Friends and the kids were coloring their pumpkins while the adults were carving. Funniest thing Bella was more interested in Coloring herself then the Pumpkin. It was sooo Cute and I just had to post this picture cause I thought it was adorable.

We had Family Pics done not that long ago and it was a lot of fun. Our little Bella is a little poser! She loves the camera. It probably doesn't help that I have one in her face all the time. I really want to start taking pictures and Ben bought me a really nice Cannon Rebel and I love it. So Bella and Ben are my ginny pigs. I just wanted to say how Blessed I am. I have a beautiful little girl and the most wonderful husband ever. He is doing amazing in school and He just passed the State EMT test. Which is a huge deal! He always makes me laugh. He is a huge help with Bella and the Best Dad Ever. I don't know what I would do without him. With all we have gone through in our life together he is still so strong and he keeps me going. I Love him and Bella both so much! Thanks for Making the Journey So Much Fun!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that my Mom is my Hero:) She has been on Chemo since July and it has been a battle! She has been AMAZING through the whole thing! Aside from all the horrible side effects, the neuropathy, loosing her hair, loosing a ton of weight, convultions, emotions, pain when touching cold, pain when touching hot, horrible nausea and vomitting, and so much more that I am sure she hasn't shared. And on top of that working a busy job through the whole thing. My mom has been a trooper. My dad has stuck by her side through all of this and I know that it hasn't been easy seeing his Sweetheart suffer through all that she has gone through. I know that she has done all of this for us (Her kids and My dad). Her Testimony has remained strong and Her Faith is even stronger. That has made my Testimony Grow and My Faith Grow even stronger. I Love My parents so much and they are the Greatest Examples to me and my Husband. I have always had Pride in having such a close great Family who are my Best Friends. And now I see why, it is cause I have The BEST Parents!

This Is my Beautiful Little girl Bella! She is getting so big:) She is 17 Months old now and she is the light of our life. She makes us laugh so much and keeps us going! We love our Beautiful Little "Bells". I really want to start with this I have never been any good. But now that I work Nights I have a little more time on my hands. Little update on my family. Ben is going to school full time right now. He is changing his major. He is going for Mechanical Engineering and also getting his paramedic and Loving it! He wants to do Paramedic Life Flight some day. He is doing awesome in school. I am so proud of him for finally doing what he wants to and loves. I am working Full Time at Dixie Regional Medical Center as an RN and loving it. I get to work with some of the most amazing people and I seriously can say that I absolutely love my job. Our Little Bella.....Oh what can I say about our little Bella She is absolutely adorable. She is so much fun...We laugh everyday...She is sooo Smart...She loves to watch Baby Signing Time and does all the signs with it. My favorite one has to be bird cause she does it so darn cute. She is starting to talk so good repeating things that we say. Two days ago she was eating breakfast and kept asking for "Daddy" and I said "Daddy is at school" and she repeated me saying, "Daddy School". She is all girl, Baby dolls, teddy bears, makeup (oh yes loves to get into my makeup), and she is already choosing her clothes to wear. I think it is so cute so I just go along with it and try to make things match. She actually does really good for being so young. She is soooo fun and we are loving every minute of it!!
