Happy 9th Birthday, Emma!

Emma turned 9 years old on August 10th. She is turning into such a young lady and we are so happy that she is a part of our family!We decided to go ice blocking to celebrate Emma's birthday since she was sick when we went before. We took a picnic and went up to the EA campus with our blocks of ice. The kids had a great time!
We had a little family party and Emma chose to have Asphalt Pie for her cake. YUM!
Emma got a new bike for her birthday and a cute new bike helmet from Matt and Nikki.

Happy Anniversary

Last week, Ben and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. It doesn't really seem like it has been 10 whole years since we tied the knot, but I guess time flies when you're having fun...it also flies when your busy having five children. It really seems like it was only yesterday that Ben and I were at Utah State. Even though I had a hard time actually deciding I wanted to get married I can't deny that Ben was and still is my best friend. I'm just grateful that I listened to that still, small voice telling me that he was the one for me. Ten years later, I couldn't have asked for anything more than a husband who is also a wonderful provider, father,companion and has a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have been truly blessed over the past ten years to with five beautiful children and many wonderful experiences. To my sweetheart and best friend, thank you for ten great years and I can't wait to see what the next ten will bring!
