Hallee's blessing day

Hallee was blessed on November 4th, 2012 by her dad. She looked like a little angel in her white dress. It was a bitter-sweet day for me because this will be the last baby blessing in our family. Rich gave her a beautiful blessing, we're excited for Hallee to be apart of our family. She's already started to smile and show a little personality. She still has her days and nights mixed up which means no sleep for me, but I'm trying to enjoy these last stages of taking care of a newborn baby. I feel so blessed that my Father in Heaven has allowed me to be Hallee's mom. We love her very much!

Antoinette's Temple Day

On October 27th one of my closest friends went through the Albuquerque temple for the first time. Antoinette was baptized October 8th of last year, she wasted no time in preparing for temple. I'm so glad I was able to be apart of her special day. I'm grateful for the temple and for the peace I feel when I go. It's a way to escape the world for a couple of hours and to put life into perceptive. It helps me remember what's really important and what really matters in life. I can take my problems and worries there and feel comfort and strength I need to get through them.  It's a place where I can go and remember the covenants I made with my Heavenly Father and to Rich. I'm so happy that Antoinette will be able to enjoy the blessings of the temple. She's an amazing person and friend, I know that her life will be enriched so much with this important step she's taken. 

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was great this year. Rich challenged me to not buy costumes like I usually do. So we used things we had around the house, I only had to buy a few things. We trick or treated around the neighborhood on a hay-ride.  The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast.
