a tribute to friends that have babies

One of my dearest friends had her baby this year! This picture was taken at her glorious baby shower :)

Isn't she the cutest prego lady you ever did see??

And she and her husband have the sweetest baby girl! <3

Maybe someday she'll post pictures of her little princess

Just so you know, Kyron and I love this little family of Furnii. They are the best examples to us. We got to spend some time with them at Primary Children's in a church calling together (that I'll post about someday i promise!)

We've both learned so much from them and just think of the world of them. And they are the best parents this little girl could ask for.

Our Missionary

Last October, President Thomas S. Monson announced that the age for full-time missionaries had been lowered to 18 for young men and 19 for young women. It was an incredible announcement for the church! And it just so happens that my nephew is going to turn 18 in June, right after he graduates from high school. I didn't realize the impact it would have on our family -- what a blessing! He is such an amazing example to his 7 younger siblings and 23 cousins by making the sacrifice to go. He got his mission call just a few weeks ago.

WE LOVE THIS BOY!

We'll all miss you so much. But we know you will be off doing a marvelous work and a wonder in Montevideo, Uruguay!

“The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.” - Joseph Smith

Sometimes we go to Jazz games

Because we have amazing, generous people who give us tickets!

(BIG thanks to my parentals and the Cornelius')
