Celebrations

Another Webb BYU Graduate! Gayleen graduated this April and we were so happy to be there for her to celebrate her great accomplishment. Way to go Gayleen!

Here's a picture of some of the folks that were there to celebrate with her. 

My brother Bart is a wonderful husband to his wife. It is so sweet to see their love and excitement together in this big celebration. 

Next we have two sweet baby blessings. Katelyn and Aubrielle were blessed on the same Sunday in the Layton Park Ward. It was a special time and it has been so special for us to live just down the street from Nick and Cam for a year. We have loved every minute of it! I love how in this picture it looks like Katelyn and Aubrielle are holding hands. So sweet!

We so appreciated the family support of all those that came to the baby blessing. It was a wonderful time. Nick and Cam were ever the party people and had a big luncheon at their home after the baby blessing. It was a blast!

Our little Katelyn Suzanne Murray. We love you little one! It was so sweet to hear Preston give Katelyn a blessing. I am so grateful for a righteous father and priesthood holder in our home that can give blessings to our children.

Grandma Suzie being a good sport with all of these kiddos climbing around her. 

While the food and mingling was going on upstairs, Preston took these pictures of the boys downstairs taking advantage of the Uncle Nick's weight set. I can make out Jordan and Avery in the back ground, but I have no idea who the crazy kid in the black vest is. I'm just glad Jordan was still alive after the party was over. 

Hanging out as a family. What could be better?

Oh, question answered... what could be better? Playing a game together. Blokus always a good choice. 

 

Here are some fun pictures of Jared, Shaylee, Marissa, and Tazia with the babies. 

Family pictures with Leslie, Annette, and Russell.

8th Anniversary!

The Salt Lake Temple. It never gets old to see this magnificent piece of history, beauty, and holy house of the Lord. This is where Preston and I were married now 8 years ago to be sealed for time and all eternity. It is a special place for us.

The kiddos loved all of the water features on Temple Square. 

Preston and the kids making funny faces. I love all of the gorgeous flowers on Temple Square. This was one of the big reasons I wanted to get married in the spring... all of the colors!

The fam. Katelyn is present, but asleep in the stroller. It's amazing all of the changes and blessings that have come into our lives in 8 years. The greatest blessings are these cuties that teach us so much and that make us into better people.

"I love to see the temple."

I am so grateful to have this wonderful man as my husband. He is simply the BEST! He is my everything and I look forward to what the next 8 years have in store for us. Whatever life brings... we'll take it on together. That's what best friends do. 

The flowers are always amazing to see. I so enjoy looking at all of the different flowers individually and then seeing how they look all together. Each perspective has it's own beauty. 

 

Preston and Hillary, a moment caught under the flowering trees. It was fun to see the couples getting married today and to think back to when we were in there shoes. 

We had a wonderful afternoon on Temple Square. On to the next year of our happily ever after...

Easter 2015

We got to do an Easter egg hunt over at the O'Neal's this year. Nick's mom has a fun family tradition of putting money in some of the eggs for the adults. So kids and adults alike had an blast looking for the eggs. If you find the "golden" egg then you found the most money. Nick's sister Tazia won this year. Way to go!

Happy hunting.

Natalie thought the same thing. This girl was all smiles. 

Ok, who thought it was a good idea to buy chocolate candy for the egg hunt? Melted chocolate was all over this girl.

Happy Easter morning everyone!

Egg coloring. Natalie got really into it this year. She insisted on using a paint brush. 

Holidays mean traditions, fun, happy memories, and so much more. What a wonderful time we all had!

Katelyn 1 Month Old

Our little Katelyn is already 1 month old!

Here are a few camera shots I got. First one shoes a face that looks to me like, "Why are you pointing that thing at my face?", the next one is a cute yawn face, and the other photo is a casual wave. I'm excited to see her personality shine as she grows. 

Cute baby body. We love how her belly button looks like a cinnamon roll. 

Cuddle sleepy time with Daddy. 

Our Sleeping Beauty. So happy you are a part of our family. We love you baby K!
