A Conley day!

Without fail, I laugh every single time I write.. say.. or think... "Conley." For the first 2 years of Jon and Alyssa's marriage I thought my sister's last name was Connelly. . Ha! We had a good laugh we when both put it together. I will probably still be laughing in 50 years. Anyway.. Big day for the Conley's. Big day for this little guy! So much fun to be apart of Jaxson's blessing day. He is such a cute guy!
I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the little family. I guess this one will have to work. Congrats you two! Beautiful blessing ~ beautiful day!
Me and my cute sister, Alyssa.

Just had to throw in a sissy/mom picture.. All the Utah girlies!

Kind of love that it was at my house. We got to sneak in a little extra time without feeling like we were intruding. This so happened to be the day that my kids decided they wanted to maul Jaxon with lots and lots of love!! Too much fun watching my babies {I know... they aren't babies} hold babies! They are babies!! :)

Congrats to Grandpa Barrett and Lorraine ~


I have been so blessed in my life to have lived near all my grandparents at one point or another. And even better to have their influence in my life and in my children's lives. SUCH. A. BLESSING. I just love my Grandpa Barrett. I really do think the world of him. I have learned so many valuable lesson watching him over the years. Lorraine seems to be a pretty special lady too. I was so excited to hear that they were going to be sealed in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. Tim and I were able to witness the sealing of Grandpa and Lorraine. What a special event and a privilege to be there with them. We excited for the both of you and the new adventures that are ahead! Congratulations!

Happy Birthday!

Tim's birthday often times gets overshadowed by all the excitement of the holidays. He is always such a good sport about it. Tim's Birthday was Friday.. we got around to celebrating his birthday on Sunday. {sorry babe} And to top it off.. while we were enjoying his birthday dinner.. he was out wondering the neighborhood with a little boy looking for his parents {he had been lost for hours!!}. That gives you just an inkling of what kind of a guy Tim is.

Tim went out the morning of his birthday.. I can't for the life of me remember where he went, but he was out. While he was out.. the kids made big signs.. that now hang in our garage.. These signs let him know how much they care about him. .. and they really do love him so much. Tim is such an amazing dad!! He takes that job very seriously!! His priorities are; 1. His God. 2. His Family! And his kids know it!! He takes time to be in the moment with them... each and every one of them. To read with them. To help with homework. To work with them. To play with them.. {sometimes too much :)} To create memories. He is such an amazing man and such a huge support to me. I am so blessed to have a family with Tim. I love you! I hope you had a great Birthday.
