She's Married!

Yay! They did it!

It was a beautiful ceremony. The Spirit was strong. I loved being there with family to witness this beautiful couple make these special covenants with God and each other.




See the happiness on her face!


Chaz's nieces and nephews could hardly wait to run up and give hugs. 


How adorable. 

Awww my baby girl!







And just a year and a half ago Lindsey was getting married and Olivia was in tears of sadness and happiness. She was happy for Lindsey but she was worried she was losing a friend. 

Little did she know that they've only grown closer. 

And they see each other and hang out together with their men all the time. 


Chaz seems to have had some great groomsmen. I didn't really get to know them but what little I did they seem like fun guys. 

Brian wouldn't miss this for anything and I know it means so much to her that he was there. 

Tyler is Olivia's twin and shadow. He looks up to her and loves her so much. I know it was hard for him to miss both Lindsey and Olivia's weddings. 

Olivia's side and Chaz's side of their families. 

Woohoo!

Chaz's family. 

Chaz has all sisters and he's the baby. His oldest sister is just 3 years younger than me. 

His parents. 

Such wonderful people and I was happy to get to know them and plan and prepare for the wedding and reception with them. 


Olivia's family. Emily's family couldn't be there but Emma was there to represent! So happy she could come. 

Our family of 8!



I cherish these times. So blessed to have the relationship that we have with Olivia. 






This picture with my mom is so cute. I love it!


The bridal party.

Makala, Olivia, Lindsey, Maybrie. These girls look wedding magazine ready!









My girls. I know I didn't deserve to have them but for some reason the Lord gifted me such wonderful daughters. I seriously don't understand it. I have lots of questions to ask on the other side of what He saw in me to raise these women. 

Classic pose

BFFs. I love that Makala was part of this. 

Wrestling girls. 

Olivia is Maybrie's sister here on earth. I'm sure Esther will love Olivia just as much. 


Inside jokes hahaha




Olivia and her bros.

The friendships my kids have with one another is unmatched. 



This is darling. 

Friends first, now brothers. 

Chaz is happy to have some younger brothers.

And my boys loved and looked up to him as soon as they met him. So grateful to have open hearted kids who welcome all in to our family. 




Family traditions!



The temple grounds are just beautiful!


Congratulations Chaz and Olivia Hansen. 

Fairytale wedding.

There are so many wonderful pictures our photographer took. I can't put them all in my posts. I'm so grateful we have them all though.

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab...

Our Christmas Get Away!

Bel made a simple menu and schedule so we all knew kind of what to expect. Some things changed, like swimming based off weather and s'mores were a different night, but for the most part it went as planned.  December 20  On the road! Koda knew he was going with us so he was so good on the drive. He didn't whine while we were loading up the truck like he has done in the past. He was ready and happy to go on the road trip. We drove straight to Brian's on Saturday the 20th. We made it in exactly 13. 5 hours. We left at 5:30am and only stopped twice. We made really good time. December 21  It was a short visit with Brian's family but then Sunday morning we got up and headed to Jaime's parent's house to start the holiday week! The 4.5 hour drive was a much welcome drive after Saturdays. lol Olivia had already been at grandma and grandpa's for a few days since school was already out. We flew her down to Arizona. It was so fun to see the three of them hanging out tog...

This and That

There's been some baby action in the family.  This cutie. Ezra Naylor born November 21st. Tyler LOVES him. Tyler loves babies in general. Ezra came early and needed some extra prayers sent his way. We included him in many of our prayers and Tyler took it very serious to pray that Ezra would "grow good" and still says it in EVERY prayer he says and if someone else, like Aidan, doesn't say Ezra in their prayer Tyler is quick to point it out.  Then these TWO! Oh so cute! They arrived on December 13th. Madeline and Nathaniel Digges. So Tyler's prayers are getting a bit longer now. "Please bless Ezra, Maddy and Nate to grow good." Precious.  On Friday the 13th (hehe) I made a fort for Aidan, Tyler and Ren to play in. Then the girls got home from school and they jumped in on the play. It was big enough for all seven of them to play in. It's so cute to hear them play pretend. They couldn't believe that I pulled out Christmas lights t...
