A Day in History!!

My sister in law posted about the inauguration and it hit home to me. This truly is a moment in history. The first African American President in the United States of America. Even though I didn't vote for Obama we will still continue every night in our family prayers to bless the leaders of our country and support him. With all the craziness of the war and economy and the list goes on it is sometimes so easy to get down but on those days I count my blessings to be living in a wonderful country where I am free. We are so blessed. I give Obama my support and prayers and wish him the best to lead and guide this country for the best!!

A little time on a Saturday

Well I feel like I have been out of the blogging world for awhile. It has taken me awhile to get things settled and get the house somewhat together. So since we were actually home this weekend I thought I would take a second and get things a little updated before starting into Saturday's projects!!

Bridger's Blessing Day!!

We decided to wait and bless Bridger when we moved back. So this past weekend we blessed him at my parents ward. What a wonderful experience. I just tresure those precious blessings that Jaman has given our kids. Each blessing I hear my testimony of the priesthood is strengthend and renewed.

 

Here is the proud mama. I just love this little guy to pieces or should I say giant.

 

Taylor loves Bridger so much and loves when he smiles and giggles at her. I just know they are going to be the best of friends. Isn't is moments like these that being a parent is wonderful!!

 

These were all the Grandpa's that participated in the blessing. I am terrible and spaced getting a picture of all that helped with Bridger's blessing. So I will document that. Grandpa Silcock, Grandpa Brunson, Great Grandpa Skillings, Uncle Justin, Uncle Ryan, Uncle Cayd, Uncle Dustin, and Uncle John. Wonderful Priesthood Bearers that will be such wonderful examples in Bridger's life.

For some reason it didn't upload these pictures. I can't forget these ones of my two boys.

Nativity Tradition 2008

 

Every year my parents get all of us together and my mom dresses up all the grandkids for a Nativity. I LOVE this! We do it every year and my mom is the greatest. She has so much patience and dresses each one up and it is always with stuff around the house. She is always so creative. Then Grandpa reads from the scriptures. Taylor went through 3 costumes before being settled into her angel costume.

 

I had to laugh that she was an angel. At least she can dress up as one because lately Taylor has definately been no angel, but I do love her to death and wouldn't trade her for anything.

 

Of course we would have a handsome little baby Jesus (Bridger). I must be doing something right to have a son play Jesus :) What a great way to celebrate Christmas Eve. I look forward to next year. The only thing better is when we have all the grandkids. We were missing both of my brothers and their kids :(

 

Our Rental

 

 

 

 

Here is Jaman's next accomplishment in life. Finding us a place to rent. He did a good job. I know all you home owners are thinking what a dump, but to me coming from a 2 bedroom apartment this is HEAVEN. Just today I was blasting music and for once is 5 years I could do it and not worry about getting turned in. When Jaman emailed me these pictures my first comment was PINK carpet but it really isn't it is brown!! I am so thankful for a place to live. We are so blessed!

Jaman's Graduation

 

Here are some pictures of Jaman's Graduation! What an exciting day. I am so proud of Jaman and all his hard work. He is one that if he sets his mind to something he always reaches his goal.

 

WE DID IT!!!

 

Jaman and his parents!!
