Happy Camper!

We took Katie camping this past weekend. It was really fun. She did really well and had a good time. She really can't tolerate the heat, so she was naked most of the time. It was fun to see some of Brady's family and spend time with them. On the way home last night, we were driving through from Preston to Downey to get on I-15. We were just talking and all of a sudden Brady braked really hard because he saw a deer in the road. It wasn't just any deer. It was a HUGE buck. We watched him cross the road and go off into the sagebrush on the other side and kept going. Brady told me that about a minute before we saw him he had a thought to turn on his brights because he knew there were a lot of deer through there. He also had an impression to look for little flickering eyes so he would see one. About a minute later he spotted that deer and we didn't hit it and were fine. He told me it is interesting how the Holy Ghost works. I am so thankful for the spirit and for the protection it gave us last night. I know it might have just been a fender bender, but it also could have been a lot worse, too. We don't know. I am also thankful for a husband who is in tune to the spirit and recognizes a prompting and listens to it. I know this wasn't a mind-blowing incident of the Spirit at work, but it reaffirmed my testimony that Heavenly Father loves us and watches out for us and that if we listen to the Spirit, we will be taken care of.

Happy Anniversary!

My 5-year anniversary was on Saturday, July 19th. It is hard to believe that we have been married for five years! It has been a wonderful five years for us. We have a lot of fun and laughs together and have managed to struggle through some very difficult challenges and come out closer to each and to our Heavenly Father in the end. We are very thankful for all we have, especially our beautiful daughter and the chance to be sealed as a family. We are really very blessed and thank Heavenly Father every day for all we have.

Cute Baby!

This is the cutest baby on the block! She is such a delight to us. We are still doing well and are enjoying our sweet baby girl. I love to be home with her. We are looking forward to each new stage for her. She is such a good baby and she sleeps through the night and rarely cries. I have thrown in a few cute pictures of her. Enjoy! We have been very blessed!

Las Vegas...

We had a great time in Las Vegas. Pretty much all we did was eat and talk, usually at the same time. We spent a little time in the pool and shopping and very little sleeping, and the rest was talking and stuffing our faces! Katie didn't do too bad on the airplane and she was so good while we were there. We had a long delay on our flight coming home and spent 6 hours in the Las Vegas airport, but we made it. My beautiful and talented cousin let us stay in her gorgeous house and took some awesome pictures of us. It was so fun and I can't wait to do it again! I will post more later.

Summer...

We are enjoying the summer weather...finally. It is so nice outside and we have been enjoying taking walks and playing outside. Katie and I are heading to Las Vegas on Friday. It will be her first plane ride. I hope she does well! We are going to a Radford Girls Reunion with my mom and sisters and aunts and cousins. It will be a blast!

Katie...

Katie on her blessing day. Her dad gave her a beautiful blessing and it was so fun to have all of our family there. She was really good during the blessing, too! Good girl. This is the dress that I was blessed in. My Grandma Shumway crocheted it for me. There is a little pink slip under it. I liked that it wasn't all white, and it has a touch of pink. My friend gave me the bracelet for her to wear!

I just love this sweet look on her face. This outfit subsequently got pooped on and had to be changed about ten minutes after it was put on her. Good job!

This baby loves her daddy and he loves her. They are so cute together. This is going to be a major daddy's girl!
