She is a funny, pretty, smart and loving little doll!!! She's so excited to go to school and to get married and be a momma she wants 3 girls. Lol she constantly wants to play. She loves Lucy our dog and carries her or holds her constantly. She loves movies and especially sweets. She is very concerned with her appearance and weight not sure why but she asks if she is fat too often we always tell her she is beautiful and perfect. Too much tv?? Anyways she is a kind hearted little girl with a lot of spunk. She's pretty creative and thoughtful. She made me a bracelet for Christmas and then put it in a ceramic jewelry box but couldn't find it and was almost in tears after everyone opened gifts she came and hugged me and said I wanted to give you the best present ever but I can't find it mom and I'm really really sorry. Oh it broke my heart to see her so sad about it. She didn't make anyone else anything or worry about them a gift but wow she was sad. Talk about about heart melting. She dances and sings for me all the time. Adorable miracle baby girl oh how I love her!!!
Calvin got the priesthood, went the Gilbert Temple for the first time, was in the Deacon's presidency, honor roll and got braces this year. Calvin is totally into special effects and is quite talented. He is very crafty. He is an excellent singer and dancer. Is super skinny and loves to exercise and eat healthy. He also loves to cook. This boy melts my heart almost daily. He is sweet, kind, charming and handsome with manners all wrapped in one. He is liked by all. He has a tender heart. He likes to annoy his sisters but then other times he is the best sweetest brother ever. Adia is his bff and cousin. They love the same stuff! Rocks, special effects, music and dancing. He is doing football again this year. He is the best son I could have ever hoped for!

Oh this girl is amazing! Sweet, funny, gorgeous inside and out, smart and so righteous. Her faith is unshakeable! She's a natural born leader. She is a go getter and works hard for her grades. She will help anyone with anything except the dishes and cleaning her room. Lol She is such a good girl! An angel sent from heaven above. She loves food and will bake anytime she can. She loves to eat. She loves music and usually has earbuds in jamming out. She still plays the piano but not as often. She is still a very highly sought after babysitter because the kids loves her and she cleans. :-). She's great with kids. She's a decent driver and just needs more hours behind the wheel. She's a true and loyal friend to everyone. She loves to talk and we love listening. Love this girl and everything about her! She is a great example and amazingly strong in the gospel. Couldn't have asked for better seriously.

My gorgeous Buick Enclave started to die so I got a beautiful new dark metallic gray 2015 Toyota Highlander Limited. I love it. I feel so very very blessed. We have a beautiful home with my parents, mother in law and brother in law within a mile. Our 3 children are amazing! Seriously!!! We are overall healthy. I love to sing, to shop, to get good deals, to paint, to be crafty, to organize, to see movies, to four wheel, to go boating etc. I love being a stay at home mom who helps hubby wih real estate. My kids are my life it's awesome to be with them so much more than I ever was when I worked full time outside of the home. I'm busier than I ever expected and my days start early and end late but I wouldn't have it any other way! I'm soaking it all up and enjoying every single minute as best as I can because the days turn into years faster than I ever realized.
Will had a heart attack which wa so super scary but it didn't do any damage thankfully, he became the broker of Tempus Real Estate company, got a significant raise from Fun Factory, took lots of trips for work out east, got to go sea fishing and caught several large fish including sharks, got a deer hunting, went on an elk hunt, Got fit and buffed up winning a bicep challenge at work by increasing his guns by 2 inches, is the financial clerk at church, witnessed a tornado while in Tennessee visiting his sisters, went on a great trip to Florida with me, got a new camo platinum ring for our 18th anniversary, got some new guns and ammo, got new front teeth and lots of crowns and a bridge, and he got a new truck. Still has his white 2003 Dodge Ram quad can 4x4 Laramie but got a 2015 Toyota Tacoma Trd pro 4x4 black truck. He loves his tech stuff and devices, loves his music, loves his hunting, loves his truck, loves taking naps, loves action movies, works a lot, Calvin is his best buddy, loves his long showers. He is funny, quick witted, mostly silent, deep thinker, loves his kids, plays with his lil princess and adores his young lady, cleans his shotguns regularly and can't stop downing the soda pop. Lol. He found out that he is not really type 1 diabetic after 30 plus years of being treated so needless to say it's taking a long time trying to kick start his pancreas to work again so he is still taking injections. Poor guy. He doesn't complain never has never will.
