Father's Day...

Yesterday was Father's Day! I love my dad so much, and even though I am not one to express how I feel towards him, I want him to know how much he is appreciated and loved. My father has the biggest heart and capacity to care for others. After church we went over to my uncle Spencer's hose for a Father's Day bbq.

Life in the Single Ward.....

So I have the greatest group of friends. Sarah, Kyle, Daren, Kev just to name a few. Every Monday night we have Family Home Evening with the singles ward. This Monday we had it at Brother and Sisiter Tingey's house. Despite the clouds, wind and rain, we had an outside pool party. We swam in the rain, played grass volleyball, rode the ever popular zip line, had a bonfire, LAUGHED a whole lot and ate until we could not possibly eat any longer. It is an awkward time in our lives, so it is good to have close friends to spend those moments with. Here's to sweaty brows, baby wipes and J phil Q!!!!!! To my best friends that have helped me to learn, grow and find myself.

Trying to forgive.....

As I was looking through some old photos, I found some that I had barried and seemingly forgotten. Photos that brought back so many sad and confusing feelinfs and memories. Kip and I were best friends, we worked together, hung-out with the same goups of friends and even went to school togehter. We were basically inseperable for two years. I never saw it coming, but he grew cold and distant for no reason at all. I had sacrificed so much for him and for me and received nothing in the end but bitter and hateful feelings. I am still left wondering why he wont answer my phone calls, or even acknowledge that I am here and still wanting to be his friend. Forgiving him for being so hateful is something that I have not been able to yet do, and apart of me wonders if I will EVER be able to forgive Kip for telling me that he didnt want me to be apart of his life anymore! I pray for the ability to forgive him, but it has been difficult and impossible. What am I supposed to be learning from this experience, forgiveness, patience, what? If anyone who reads this post has any great advice, please share it, it's much appreciated!

Ava is walking!!!!!

Ava has done it, she has learned to walk all on her own. We are so proud of her. Here are just some of my favorite pictures of her. She is the cuttest little girl I have ever seen.

Carrie Underwood....

On Sunday, May 25th Krista and I went to see Carrie Underwood. She is talented, gorgeous and amazing in everyway! Here are some of the pictures from our experience, and yes it was also a hairspray convention, so so funny!

Memorial Day Celebration...

Yesterday was Memorial Day! Not only is it a day to celebrate those men and women who served, fought and died for us, but it was a paid vacation away from work. Here are just a few pictures of the family as we had a big dinner and get to together. It was a lazy day of slepping in, watching movies and being with the family! All in all it was a great weekend. Tomorrow I will post the pictures and live videos I took on Sunday at the Carrie Underwood concert!!!!!

My Little Angels.....

Can I just say how much I love Ava, Keaton Andrew and Madalynn even though she is not here with us. My older sister Melissa wrote a post on her blog yesterday about loosing Madalynn and how hard it was on her and still is. I know that Ava, Keaton and Andrew were with Madalynn before each came to earth. Melissa, Madalynn told Keaton and Andrew to come to you as their mother because they knew they would be so loved and cared for! To each of them, I love you so much. We never know when life will change, or when a loved one will be taken from us, so tell someone, everyone that you love them if you feel it. I have made it a daily goal to tell everyone that randomly comes into my thoughts that I love and appreciate them. The Lord gives us impressions for a purpose, use them to bless the lives of others! Go ahead and send someone a message that you love them!
