Alyvia helping with the drinks

Then we went to Danielle's house. This is what happened there...

          Does dirt/ soil really taste that good? She and Kinzley had a bath right away!! But Alyvia had dirt in her hair for like 3 days!! I wouldn't all come out and it's not like she has a TON of hair!! There were just little specs everywhere... SHEESH!

In February, Oh let's say Feb 11th. ;) We (Danielle and I) put together a little Murder Mystery Valentines Dinner... It was SO MUCH FUN! I am not sure if I'd do another one, though. It was so much work but so fun.

One Big thing I would do different is send out the clue cards #1 a week in advanced!! It says it optional but There is so much information on them! I would have had that whole week to study the person I am. I think I told people things I wasn't supposed to. Anywho it was SO fun!! If you have one invite me!! ;)

I have been really busy with photography lately! Working, stressing and researching how to be better.
But they are the reason I do it!

Alyvia is my light, and Kristofer is my strength! When I have a bad day, when I  am stressed, when I don't feel good enough, or lack confidence in myself; Alyvia and Kristofer bring me back up and fill my life with encouragement, joy, and love!

I have a marketing expo coming up this week and I have been working like crazy getting ready for it with a ton of marketing prints and images and my portfolio.

As I was working on some collages I decided to make one for Alyvia's room.


As I was putting this together I was reminded with ALL the Lord has blessed me with! I have an eternal marriage to a man I love with all my heart and a family that allows my love to spread. A beautiful little girl who tries my patience but loves me for the crazy mother/ woman I am.

Heavenly Father has entrusted me with responsibility of becoming a wife and a mother. What a blessing! I thank Him every day I get to be apart of their earthly life.

I love my life. I love my husband and my baby girl. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I love Heavenly Father for allowing his Son to atone for my sins and tribulations. I know Christ lives. I cannot wait for the day when Christ will come and reign!

Love you all... Have a great Sabbath and week!

Mel knew this guy whose name was Jordan... and low and behold Jordan's little brother was in our FHE group. This is how I got to know Kristofer and married him... back to what I was saying. Jordan and Mel were good friends.

Then all of a sudden (not really) My REALLY awesome roommate became my sister-in-law!! How sweet it that?!?!?!?!

The wedding was beautiful! The Sealer was great and gave great advice. Here is a glimpse of their special day.

Alyvia's first snow

I love the snow! I love how it makes everything so beautiful and white... it is quite heavenly. It is so calming and just beautiful. I had a love/ hate relationship with Rexburg... I love to snow, but I hate how it just never went away to really appreciate it. Anyway...

Last year we only had like one snow fall and Alyvia was too little to even care.

This year all she wanted to is "bye-bye" and knock on the door... So I bundled her up and took her out.

My little Eskimo

She had so much fun she didn't want to go back inside... but I wasn't as bundle as she was and I was FREEZING! She is still so adorable!

I hope where ever you are reading this, that you are enjoying your weather!!
