Great New Website


I would like to invite you all to this great, new website that has just been created by a friend of mine. My friend is a stay at home mom of 4 boys, who has taught herself how to web design. The website is beautiful and fun and features a variety of subjects that appeal to women. The best part about her website is the purpose behind it, she produced this website in major part to create some revenue to help struggling women in Utah. Whether the women are single mom's needing help with income or training or married women with health, family or financial issues. I applaud her ingenuity, talent and pro-action. I hope you will take a look at the website and spread the word.

P.S. As a little side note she is honoring me in the Honoring Womanhood section in the next week or so and she has asked me to be a regular contributor in the girlfriend to girlfriend section. Although because of my limited computer skills and flakiness she may choose to rescind later.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

Just in case the link didn't work the website is http://www.crazibeautiful.com

Panama Temple


The biggest and best reason that we travelled to Panama was for my little sister Heidi, her husband Mark, and their baby Elyn to be sealed in the temple.
It is a beautiful country and a glorious temple. The spirit was so strong and it felt so right to be there with them. Mark and Heidi have worked really hard to get to this point in their lives and the Lord has blessed them and us so much. We are all so happy and uplifted to be there!
Little Elyn was so cute and good for the sealing he even made a cute cooing sound when the sealer told them he was sealed for eternity, he is the happiest baby I have ever met.

Also a big shout out to my sisters DeAnna, Stephanie and Savannah for handling all the kids and babies for the whole day while we went to the temple!

Christmas Break in Panama





For Christmas break our family travelled with our Morrell family to beautiful, warm, tropical Panama! We had a blast! Alternating between swimming in the pool and the ocean about 10 hours everyday. As you can see in the first picture Heidi's husband Mark with throw Daniel up in the air and let him splash in the pool. Daniel makes some pretty good air!

In the next picture Eva is hitching a ride on Grandpa's shoulders through a beautiful botanical garden and zoo. There were lots of gorgeous flowers, trees, and ponds. We also saw tons of beautiful birds, monkeys, guinea pigs, alligators, and some other anteater pig like animals.

We rested as Harmony shows in the next picture. We needed it though from all the playing and the late nights of fun!

Aunt Katie provided a Santa Claus pinata for the kids. It felt a little weird beating up the guy that had just brought us presents, but again he delivered, as he broke up there were candy and water toys for all.

There is more to come on Panama..........
