Our Family

It's doesn't matter where you go in life, it's who you have beside you that makes it worthwhile.

Our Growing Family.....

"Please don't nag yourself with thoughts of failure. Do not set goals far beyond your capacity to achieve. Simply do what you can do in the best way you know, and the Lord will accept of your effort."
Gordon B. Hinckley

Best of Friends...

All Because Two People Fell in LOVE...

“Marriage, in its truest sense, is a partnership of equals, with neither exercising dominion over the other but, rather, with each encouraging and assisting the other in whatever responsibilities and aspirations he or she might have. In my judgment, the real essence of happiness in marriage lies not so much in romance as in an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one's companion. Thinking of self alone and of the gratification of personal desires will build neither trust, love, nor happiness. Only when there is unselfishness will love, with its concomitant qualities, flourish and blossom.”
-President Gordon B. Hinckley

FIVE under FIVE~YIKES!!!!

Tyler-5, Brandon-4, Kara-2 1/2, Emily-17 months, & Brooke-2 weeks old

"Oh, parents, we would plead, give good and happy memories to your children - not pampering or overindulging, not satisfying everything they fancy to - but memories of love, encouragement, of peace and harmony and happiness at home - memories that will bless and lift their lives wherever they are, always and forever."
L. Tom Perry

Happy Kids...

Tyler-6 1/2, Brandon-5 1/2, Kara-3, Emily-20 months, Brooke-3 months

"While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about."
Angela Schwindt

Times have CHANGED!!!!

Jesus loves EVERYONE!!

True Happiness...

NEVER a Dull Moment!!

"Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, but with great purpose in heart."
President Gordon B. Hinckley

Ezra Taft Benson

Something to Think About...

"The next time you're tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead. It will extend your life and make the lives of all those around you more enjoyable."
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

The WHOLE Gang!!!

Families are FOREVER!!!

Cute Little Family......

Exactly a Week after Brooke's Birth!

My Goal....

“One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.”
Thomas S. Monson
