Our L.O.V.E Story



Over 20 years ago Phillip finally got to come "into town" and go to school in Show Low for the 6th grade. He says he remembers seeing me in Mrs. Mell's class and thinking...I'm going to marry that girl some day. Well years went by and we were friends but nothing ever came of it. One Sunday afternoon as I'm sitting outside of Olive Garden in Pardise Valley out walks Phillip (on the phone, I should of know I was marrying his phone and then him) but out walks Phillip and I swear in that moment I got this feeling that I was supposed to marry him. We had lost touch for a few years so it was the weirdest thing not to mention I was there with my fiance and was to be married in a month or so. I took a week off of work and did a little soul searching and called everything off and then gave Phillip a call and asked him to take me out! On our first date I laid everything out on the table as to what I was wanting and looking for and 18 months later we were married! That boy has spoiled me to death and drove me crazy the last 5 years but I sure love him! We were just saying how this last year has been the BEST year yet and can't wait for it to keep getting better! I'm so thankful our marriage is eternal and the personal choices Phil and I have made so that our sweet family can be together forever, what a blessing that is to know as a wife and a mother. I am so thankful for the father Phil is to our family and how hard he works each and every day to provide for us. Thanks Babe for the last 5 years, I heart our L.O.V.E. story...I sure feel like one lucky girl to have you by my side!!!

we had the worst photographer in the world...makes me sad!

Skiing

Can I just say Livvi ROCKED it skiing for the first time at Sunrise! Grand-dude totally hooked Livvi up and got her a private lesson and off she went! Her instructor Claudia said she had great balance and might acutally be skiing by next year. Can I just tell you we were such proud parents. I'm pretty sure we took a thousand pictures of this cute girl! Thanks Grand-dude and Grandma for making this such a special day for Liv, she sure loved it!

Christmas 2011

Christmas was so fun this year. We did so many fun things with the both of our families and it was so neat to see little Liv get so excited. I think her favorite thing was to go look at the Christmas lights at night, I have missed doing that as a family. Dylan was such a great Christmas present for our family, he's healthy, happy and oh so smiley:)



Livvi is in LOVE with Minnie Mouse



Dylan's first Christmas



Yay I finally surprised Phil and got him a gun!!!




Christmas Day, we sure enjoyed going to church as a family and feeling the sweet sprit that day! How thankful we are for the birth of our Savior and all that he has done for us so we can be an eternal family.



Pops keeping the tradition and reading to the kids about the birth of Christ
