I'm a Newbee

So I just started this blogging in November. My future sister-in-law, Claire, told me about it. My brother is leaving on a mission to Peru!! Claire will be waiting for him. Some people don't have faith in girls who have a guy on mission, it usually doesn't last, but I have seen them together and this looks promising!;) This is not what this is about, I just thought I would throw that in for...well I don't know what for.
What this is about is me being a new blogger. I am slowly, with the help of Claire, learning how to use this. I love writing about random stuff most of the time so I thought starting a blog would be a good idea. Plus I love showing off pictures of my crazy little family. We are an odd bunch. So anyway, I have a journal that I keep but I figured why not do this too. Well thats all the writing for now, but remember how I said I loved showing my family off, well i've decided to post a few of my fave pics. I would start from when cj and I were dating but I haven't scanned those on to the computer yet so i'll post up what i have so far.
This picture was taken on the day of hailey's baby blessing. She is a little fussy, but it was our first family picture together.

She is such a daddy's girl. Anytime Cj and I are cuddling she comes right over and squeezes between us and goes straight for daddys arms.

He is such a cutie. He is always making faces at the camera.

So he was doing his homework and looked really down from where i was sitting so i got the camera and tried cheering him up. I told him i was going to take pics of the two of us until i got the perfect shot. It worked i had him giggling iggling pretty darn quick. Never did get a perfect shot, but i really liked this one.

This was taken at a little chapel in Montana. We were taking pictures that day for our wedding announcements. we got some pretty good ones but ended up using a picture we took at a valentines dance at our ward. Nonetheless i like this one alot.

Two Become One

Ain't life grand!!! So I'm in a typing mood. I love my friends and family. I am so grateful for everything they do for me. I love my children to death. Everything happens for a reason. There are many paths in life and i am absolutely thrilled to be on the one I'm on. I use to want to be perfect. I tried so hard to please everyone and realized that i wasn't pleasing myself. I loved everybody around me, but did not love myself. Day by day i am learning to do so. Now that i don't try as hard to be perfect i am learning to enjoy life even more. CJ and i will be married for five years in june. Okay so its not 20 or 30 or 40, but still, in this day and age five is good.i cannot say that it has been easy. So the beautiful maiden finds her prince and they live happily ever after. Right. Notice how they hardly ever show the after math. Well, i honestly think that they are leaving out the best part. So we get to see how the fall in love, but i would rather see how they stay together. I LOVE marriage. I love the arguing, the pushing of the buttons, the slamming of doors, butterflies in your stomach, kisses in the morning(yes with the morning breath) because that's what love is. Marriage is not perfect and if it was i think it would be boring.
