Family Portraits

Well this is the first time we have gotten our family pictures taken. I'm pretty happy with the way they came out :-) The lady who was taking the pictures was soo funny so that made Enoch laugh and he was smiling in every picture! I love it!
(Thanks Leah for recommending to go to Target) We got a really good deal there and were really happy about it. Here are the pictures that we got. The one with both of us kissing Enoch we ended up not getting. Ephraim didn't like how he looked in it.
Enjoy!



My Favorite!

Jumper Baby

I haven't written for a little. Nothing much is happening thats really interesting. This Friday we will be leaving to go to Ephraims moms house in Clearfield to spend an early Christmas with them before we leave. Then they will be driving us to the airport that Monday and we will be heading off to Pennsylvania :-). Very excited about that. Can't wait to see my family and old friends. I'm kind of nervous to go on a plane with Enoch. Ephraim will be with me on the way there but I will be coming back by myself on the way home so we'll see how it works out.

A couple of days ago I bought a Baby Jumper for Enoch. He doesnt like to be held like a baby anymore. He's very strong and likes to stand up instead of sitting. He's still too little to stand obviously but he thinks he's bigger already. It's cute! I thought he would like the jumper since he loves to stand. I guess I was wrong. He's really little for the jumper even though it says 4 months and older. He's getting used to it though.
Enoch is 5 months today :-) He's growing soo fast!




I just thought I would add this one in here because it's kind of funny. We went to target to get our pictures taken and we went to look around and saw this in the baby's section. The outfit was $0 dollars. haha

I know I always put these random pictures of Enoch. But I always take soo many pictures of him and he is just so CUTE!
This was at Ephraim's moms house. It was soo hard to get this picture. We took about 5 until we got it right. Enoch wouldn't smile and everybody behind the camera was trying to make him laugh. And when he would finally laugh, Ephraim and I weren't even looking at the camera. WE got it right though!!
Of course he's not looking at the camera. He only looks at the camera if the picture is being taken of him by himself.
He really does love the camera. He smiles all the time. He used to be so shy but his personality is really coming out now.









Oh what an angel! I could just eat him right up!

Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!


I just wanted to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving, and I hope you are spending it with people you love. There are soo many things I'm grateful for this thanksgiving. I'm so grateful for my husband Ephraim. He is such a blessing in my life. I thank him for the support he gives me as I make decisions that are hard. He's been my best friend through it all, and we have had a lot of ups and downs but it is all worth it in the end. We only grow closer by having trials. I can't begin to thank him soo much for all he does for me and our family. He has an incredibly great job that he was blessed with and we have a roof over our heads and that is more than I could ask for. He has showed Enoch and I the kind of love that is Christlike, and he will always bring that spirit of Christ in our home. I'm so grateful that he can talk to me about this gospel. He has truly helped me to understand more of the gospel and helped me to calm my fears as I doubted much. I couldn't have asked for a better friend, but most importantly an eternal companion.
I would also say how grateful I am for our son Enoch in our lives. Even though he is still very young, he brings a childlike spirit into our home that is truly special. He brings our family soo much joy that is very hard to explain. Were so grateful to have him here, healthy and strong. We love him very much and are very excited to see him grow and turn into a wonderful young man soon.
I'm very grateful for my family. Not only my family but my in laws as well. When they found out I was getting married and then having a baby, they weren't exactly in best of spirits. As time went on, with alot of fasting and praying, there hearts began to soften. I am so grateful for there change of heart. They are truly happy for our little family and what we have done to get here. They are also very excited to become grandparents! My parents and I are closer than we have ever been and I hope that one day they will see the example that I try to set for them. They are my angels and I feel that they will always be there for me no matter what happens in my life.
Also, I am very grateful for my in laws. They have showed me so much love ever since they have met me. There love is so real, I feel it every time I am with them. They have sacrificed a lot for me and my husband. I wish that one day we can return the favor. I feel very comfortable in there presence. They have raised a smart, loving, intelligent son.
There are soo many other things that I'm grateful for but it's just too much to write in this post.
But I would like to take the time and Thank my Heavenly Father for all the blessings in my life. He has truly blessed me with an amazing family and a beautiful baby boy. I thank him for always answering all my prayers, even if it's in a form that I didn't exactly want.
I am so grateful to be a member of this true church. I don't know where I would be with out it. I'm grateful for my best friend Kelsie. She is the person that brought me into this church. I'm truly grateful for her and her example in my life. She has been there through my whole conversion and supported me all the way. Even though there were times where I just wanted to give up, but I knew in the end that it would all be worth it. Thank you Kelsie.
This church is the only true church, I know that it is true. I'm very grateful for that knowledge.

Sorry that sounds more like a testimony than anything. Oh well I felt the need to write all the things I'm grateful for. I have been very blessed. :-)

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Enjoy the meal and all the pies. I know I will!

The Best Husband!


I just wanted to write to say that I have the best husband ever! On Saturday, Ephraim surprised me with a day at the spa. It was soo amazing! First, I got a full body massage which was soo relaxing. Then, I got a facial and at the end I got a pedicure. It felt really good just to relax and not worry about anything. I love doing those girlie things! Overall, It was a great day. Thanks to my husband! :-)

Halloween/New haircut


I don't know if you can see his hair that well but he did get a hair cut! He doesn't look like a little girl anymore, he looks like a little boy. Everybody would mistake him for a girl at the store and at church, it was kind of annoying. Even though he would be wearing blue. haha





On Monday we started to carve our pumpkins, but silly us didn't get pictures when we were done carving. That's okay we will take some today of all of our pumpkins and i'll make sure to post them. We even carved one for little Enoch :-)

Enoch is our little helper.

This was at our ward Halloween party. It was fun.


I'll post more Halloween pictures soon.

Our little family








Enoch is having a bad hair day.


Today we went to the pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins. We got the perfect ones! I'll make sure to put pictures on when we carve them for family home evening on Monday. Our little Enoch is getting so big. He just keeps growing and growing. It's amazing how fast it happens. He's 3 months now and he is full of smiles. He laughs and talks sooo much, it's the cutest thing.
Other than that, everything is going well. Just enjoying our little boy every day.




Our search to find the perfect pumpkin!

A visit from my sister.

My sister came to visit for a couple days while she was on her way to Montana. We had a good time and she instantly fell in love with the baby. We went to the museums at BYU and took lots of pics. Enjoy.







These are tiny little butterflies and they were put on here to make a big butterfly. It looks really cool.







Enoch's funny little hat!
