President Hinckley


I too just wanted to express a few feelings about our sweet Prophet. Like so many others he will be the prophet that I will remember the most growing up and through my teenage years on to my first years as a wife and a mother. I am so thankful that he was the prophet at this time...he led the Church so perfectly and helped me in so many ways. I'll never forget the one time I got to go and listen to him speak at the conference center. With so many people all gathered there it was noisy and loud until all of a sudden he walked in the room. The entire place went silent and stood out of the upmost respect for him. It was without a doubt one of the times I felt the spirit the strongest in my life. I knew right then that he surely was a prophet of God. I remember listening to his interviews with Mike Wallace and others. What an inspired man he was to answer the questions so perfectly. He was completley endearing and such a faithful servant of our Father. His sense of humor was one in a million. One of my favorite quotes of his is, "You can be wise and happy or stupid and miserable." I am forever greatful for all of his service and am so pleased that he is back with his loving wife who he missed so dearly. He will certainly be missed but not forgotten. I love you President Hinckley!

more pics

Grandpa was so excited about his new sleigh he got for Christmas...(for himself I might add) that he couldn't wait to try it out on Elle. Of course she needed a partner so I bundled up and off we went. It was actually really fun. She kept yelling, "Grandpa this is CRAZY!" ( Going 5 miles an hour:)


Grandpa and Cash...so sweet

I walked upstairs to find Elle had tucked herself in bed for a nap along with her bears and dolls. My dream come true.

This is Elle looking at me like, "what mom? I didn't know I wasn't supposed to take your old mascara out of the garbage and apply it all over my face and your towels!" Right.

First Smiles





Nothing melts your heart quite like your baby's first smiles! I love that little dimple under his left eye...just like his big sister's. Gosh he's cute.
