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!

Summer is Finally here....

Just another day in the park...





The weather here in Boise has been absolutley beautiful, summer is on it's way! Yesterday it was 83 degrees so I decided to leave work early and go to Merrill's Park in Eagle with my two sisters and their kids. We went to McDonald's first and got Happy Meals and went an ate them on a blanket at the park. It was fun to go to the river with Keaton, Andrew and Ava and throw rocks into the water!

The Baptism of Adam Frost

On Tuesday, April 15th, one of my best friends, Adam Frost was baptized into the Church of Jesus christ of Latter Day Saints. It was two months ago that he walked into the singles ward and asked to learn more... One Sunday, after Sunday School, as we were talking, this new kid introduced himself as Adam Frost and told us he wasn't a member of the Church, but was interested in learning more about the "Mormons." As we got to talking with Adam, I really saw his potential and really felt a stron impression that he would soon join the church. As time flew by, Adam met with the Elders and I fellowshipped. Soon Adam began to realize that he could not live without the Church. He was challenged by Elders to read and pray about the Book of Mormon and the principles they were teaching him. After one of the first times that he prayed, he received the answer from our Heavenly Father that he was to be baptized on April 15th! Adam loves the Book of Mormon. As with all converts, Adam was tempted and tried as his date of conversion neared. I thank Adam, the Elders, Sisiter and my Heavenly Father for the chance to be apart of Adam's conversion!!! I love the gospel, my Savior Jesus christ and the chance to become like our Heavenly Father.

Precious Ava Kay Laney

For some reason I feel the need to post about my neice Ava. I love her so much and she has brought so much joy to our family. She recently turned one! everytime I see her my heart melts, she truly is a gift from our Father in Heaven. we are so blessed to see her learn and grow and become her own person. So to Ava, I just want you to know how much I love you.

My Adventure To Toronto, Canada

This past week I had the opportunity to travel to Toronto, Canada for my job. At first I was nervous to fly and travel internationally alone, but it ended up being the best experience I have had in a long time. The flights to and from the event were long, but I met some great people along the way. Seeing all types of nationalities opened my eyes to an entirely new world!

I met up with Janelle, one of our designers. Janelle is absolutely AMAZING, and I had so much fun traveling, teaching and laughing with her, she truly is an inspiration to me! I also became such close friends with Jaime Harker and Matt with Bo Bunny. The four of us laughed, had pajama parties, watched some not so great movies (thanks Matt) and shopped for the best Canadian Chocolate at Walmart. I tried Humpty Dumpty Ketchup chips for the first time. It was a great 4 days out of the country, experiences that I will not soon forget. Thanks Janelle, Jaime and Matt for the memories!!!
