Farewell Party

Kirk and Krystle threw a farewell party for us. They held it at the church and a lot of the ward members stopped by to say good-bye. It was so bittersweet saying good-bye to everyone, but I am so grateful that we have so many wonderful people that we are going to miss. I thought I had taken more pictures, but when I went back and looked for them, I realized I only had some of Jesse and Kirk. I'm going to miss these two hanging out together. We have been so blessed to make some of the best, closest friends here in California. It is going to be hard to leave them and part of me doesn't want to go but I am looking forward to our new adventure.

Dancing Through the Decades

Cambria went to her first school dance with some of her friends. The theme was Dancing Through the Decades. She and her friend, Lily Harvey, went as Max and El from Stranger Things. Cambria said the dancing part was kind of lame, but she had fun with her friends.

Braces

After what seems like forever, Cambria finally got her braces off. She was so excited and she has such a beautiful smile. I love this girl!

Melina and Magnus

I am so thankful we've had the chance to get to know Melina. She is so sweet and genuine. She really has such a beautiful soul and she's kind to everyone. Magnus absolutely adores her. I 'm going to miss seeing these two together. 

Valentine's Day 2026

Jesse took the girls out for their annual daddy-daughter date. He always spoils them when they go out and the girls absolutely love it! I took the boys out to lunch, and we went to a couple stores, but we really didn't find anything they wanted. I loved spending time with my boys. 

Atreyu really wanted to take Izzy out, so I took them to a boba place and waited in the car for them. They are really adorable!

Taking all the kids places didn't leave a lot of time for Jesse and I to celebrate that day but I told him we couldn't let the day go without taking a picture with my valentine. I am so thankful for Jesse and all he does for our family. He is the best shoulder to cry on and he makes me laugh everyday.

Night to Shine

Krystle invited me to go to Night to Shine with her and her sister-in-law, Michelle. Night to Shine is a prom-night type event hosted by the Tim Tebow foundation for people with special needs. The three of us were able to work the red carpet and cheer on the attendants as they walked into the building. Some of them loved being cheered for so much that they would come back multiple times. It was a wonderful experience!

My Littles

When we only had two kiddos, I truly thought that I really didn't want anymore. I'm so thankful Heavenly Father knows what we need more than we do. We have been so blessed to add Cosette and Magnus to our family. 

I was folding laundry and Magnus found a pair of jeans that he thought would be fun to try on, backwards. It was fun for him and everyone else.  ;)

Cosette looked adorable all ready for her Valentine's party at school.

Girls' Trip to Disneyland

I had the amazing opportunity to go to Disneyland with two of my most favorite people. Krystle, Raquel, and I have been planning this trip for months. Originally, more of our friends were supposed to go with us but in the end, it was just the three of us and, honestly, it was perfect! We had so much fun. We rode all the rides we wanted to, we walked around the shops, ate so many yummy treats, and watched the shows and fireworks. It was the perfect trip to spend time with these beautiful ladies before our family moves to Idaho.
