Cornelius Chronicles

 I'm so thankful for all of the blessings Heavenly Father has given me.  He has blessed me with a wonderful family.  He has blessed me with so many amazing friends.  He blesses me with a safe and comfortable home, plenty of good food to eat, the means we need to take care of our physical needs and many of our wants.  He has given me the blessing of knowledge of both earthly things and important eternal spiritual truths.  He has blessed me to receive temple blessing and the ability to draw strength and wisdom from my covenants.  He has blessed me with an amazing husband.  Dustin is far more wonderful than I could have dreamed him up to be.  I am thankful for this special time of year where we take the time to reflect on the blessings we all have and look forward to celebrating the biggest blessing of all, the gift of the Savior and his atoning sacrifice for us.  Happy Thanksgiving from my heart to yours.  I hope you enjoy these silly...

  I can’t believe this handsome kid turned 7 years old this year! We had a blast celebrating Owen with gifts of Legos and a super fun friends and family bowling party at Parkside Lanes here in Morgan. We bowled, and played, ate, and laughed all in honor of Owen. I love Owen’s engineering creativity and ability to focus. He’s a hard worker, loves a good competition, and gives the best secret smiles ever. He’s the first to remind me we need to read a bedtime story every night and thinks of some of the most exciting games to play. Owen brings so much joy and laughter to the family. I am so glad he is ours. I can’t wait to see all the joy and growth another year will bring. Happy Birthday, Owen!

  It’s that time again. Time to mark another year of growth and joy for this amazing family of mine. My cousin Zoie Farmer met us at the Ogden Nature Center to capture these amazing images of my family. From many of the interesting expressions you can tell I am deep into independent teenager waters here.  Wish me luck and lots more smiles on the other end. :D  We had lots of fun with her and love this new annual tradition. Besides, these good looking kids should be captured for future generations.
