Happy Birthday Josh!

Josh is 16! I can hardly believe my sweet brown eyed little boy is old enough to date, drive and get a job!  I'm incredibly proud to be Josh's mom!  He is an exceptional student and is currently attending the advanced learning center for 2 classes each week.  He loves to experiment and I constantly find myself saying, "You can't do that by the gas can!... you're going to kill the cat... no more dumpster diving for parts..." 

Josh has a big heart and I love watching him strive to reach his potential. 

For his birthday dinner he chose roast, potatoes, rolls, salad and corn.  For his cake he chose a score bar cake.   I adore you, Josh.

Stop growing up so fast... I mean it.  :)

Happy Birthday Caleb

Happy birthday to our sweet Caleb! Caleb would have been 11 years old this year. Oh how I miss this precious boy. Though I long to hold him, I know he continues to be true to his mission. I know he is keeps a careful watch over our family, and I know he is close when we need him most. 

 His life will always be celebrated on this day- and always. 

I love you more than I can say, Caleb. 

Happy Birthday!

This year for the boys special Caleb trunks we gave them a small picture of the Payson temple to put inside. We also gave each of the boys a picture of the Payson temple to keep in their bedrooms, a temple tie tack and a letter from Caleb. 

We also like to give them a coupon from Caleb to make a memory as a family.  This year the coupon was an invitation to attend the Provo temple open house and then an all you can eat dinner. 

We love the temple and all it represents. The temple is a constant reminder to me that our family is forever and that our time apart is temporary.
