All Most There...


My baby girl is growing up way to fast. Addi and Nate were laying on the couch while I was changing the laundry I came upstairs and Nate says "Autumn LOOK", Addi was on her side!!! She didn't quite make it over but it won't be long...

Grandparents or Santa?

Who Needs Santa, When You've Got Grandparents?

Ok, Ok, Ok Santa Can Come...

It's Santa Time




We took Addi to Cabela's to see Santa!! They have the best looking Santa and to make it even better its FREE! Addi was really happy! She told Santa that she wants some toys that make noise and warm clothes for the winter. Santa's little elves said that Addi has been a perfect little angel this year and all of her Christmas wishes will come true...

AddiLynn's Blessing



AddiLynn was blessed on Sunday December 7th. She was 2 months and 3 weeks old. Nate was so nervous that she was going to cry and scream the whole time. And guess what she didn’t she was an absolute angel dressed up in her elegant gown! She let her daddy give her such wonderful and thoughtful blessings. I cant even express and explain in words how spiritual that day was. There is nothing like hearing your own husband stand in front of the chapel with all of our friends and family and most importantly our heavenly father and give his daughter such a precious blessing.

I am so thankful for all of my many blessings that the lord has blessed me with over my life. I am Thankful for my family and the love that they have shown me, for teaching me the gospel and holding me accountable. I could not have picked a better family, and for Heavenly Father guiding me to Nate. What a blessing it is to be married into such a wonderful family. I am so grateful that we have the gospel and that we live it each day. I look around at the world and could not imagine not knowing the truth. I thank the lord each day for the opportunity to have a job and for my home and all of the things we hold so close. Most importantly, I am so grateful and thankful for the amazing opportunity we have to raise a family here on earth. I never imagined it being this wonderful. AddiLynn is my pride and joy. I live everyday for her. I want nothing but the best for her and I want her to know that I love her so much. She brought such a peaceful feeling to our home. I know for a fact that she was greeted at the gates by all of my family that has all ready passed! They all had a turn to add there special touch. I have to tell you in my eyes she is absolutely perfect, and I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for all of your love and support with AddiLynn and our little family. To all of you that were a part of this wonderful day thank you for sharing it with us.


AddiLynn was able to wear the same dress I was blessed in 25 years ago. My grandmother saved it in a box for me to use one day. She looked so beautiful in it. As I was getting her ready I was thinking to myself. There is only 3 times that I get to dress her up in a beautiful white gown. Her blessing, her baptism, and her wedding day. I pray that I get that opportunity. I know its only going to get harder as she grows. But in my eyes she will always be my little baby angel, my butterfly!
