My little Cuddle Bug was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on May 22, 2021. He prepared a lot for this special day, telling us that He wants to get baptized so the Holy Ghost can be with him all the time. Figuring out a baptism at this stage of the… Continue reading Dallin's Baptism

Dallin turned 8 years old on May 18, 2021. We hosted a pool party to celebrate!

 February was a month of some fun times mixed in with some really rough falls.  It was nice to be able to see people again after our quarantine due to Jeremy having COVID. We met up with Tiffany Hanson and her two kids. They live about 2 hours away from us, which is really cool… Continue reading February Fallouts

Our year of 2021 began with lots of hope!  There were a lot of challenges we were about to face coming in to the new year, and we would need our hope to get us through.
