Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

Christmas Update

Here is our Christmas Update:
We had an awesome Christmas, we loved seeing all of our family and friends. Spencer and I left Dec 10 for Sacramento that same day Devin left for Uganda Africa. Spencer and I got to hang out with Nana and Grandpa for a few days and then went to Fresno CA for 5 days to see my Aunt and Unlce and Cousins. On the 20th Devin came into Sacramento and then his 2 brothers and there families came and all the Christmas festivities really began!

Here is Devin's family
Jerrin and Jess
Chad and Amanda the semi-newly weds

Nana and Grandpa

THis is a little out of order but oh well, Here we are Christmas Morning, Spencer recived a Thomas the Train pop up tent from Santa which he was thrilled about. However he was also thrilled about his cousin Macie's Kitchen she got from Santa as well. So glad she was willing to share.



Santa had the train all ready for Spencer when he came down stairs, he was so excited when he saw it.

Here we are Christmas morning, waiting for everyone to wake up so we can see our Santa presents.

Here is the whole group Christmas Eve, in our Christmas jammies that Nana got us.


Here are all the girls, and for those of you who want to see a great pregnant shot of me at 30 weeks!


We had the three kids do the nativity for us, it was darling, it lasted like 2 minutes but was very cute, Macie was Mary, Eli was Joseph and Spencer was a shepherd (yup that is him in the background, his 2 minutes were already up)


The group on Christmas eve.


Here is Spencer playing his part well


We got to hang out with Grandma Zoom, we are so glad she came. She is one great Card Shark


Working with Jess on Eli's new blankets that we quilted over the holidays!
