An Eternal Family

Our Family on the Temple Steps

This weekend we did something very special and we've been meaning to do it for such a long time. We had Alex, our 8 year old son, sealed to us in the Salt Lake City temple. It was so peaceful there. It's a day I will never forget. Kaleigh was there as well. I always love going to the temple and the way it makes me feel. I forget about all the stresses in my life. All of us dressed in white and a family forever.

Steve's Birthday Party

This weekend we celebrated my Step-dad's Birthday. We had it at my Mom's house here in Park City. He just turned 69 and he's doing great. We had so much fun that night. My grandparents were there, Nataleigh and her friend Nikki, Lucy, my mom, and of course my whole fam.

During the party, Kaleigh discovered my camera and started taking so many pictures of everyone. She didn't do too bad. Well, here are some pictures so u can see for yourself. Happy Birthday Steve!!!!!!

Other Fun Things This Month

This month we have done many fun things. We did a douple date thing with Miken and Her "E" and saw some gymnastics at the Huntsmen Center. It was fun and always great to see my friend Miken.....even if it was for like 10 minutes. ahahhaaha lol We had seats way up at the top but thanks to the huge tv we saw some gymnastics. I would go again but I would definately go way early to get good seats.

Next we went to see the Harlem Globe Trotters. It was so amazing. I've actually never paid much attention to them..even though I love basketball. We had a blast and it was so cool. We went with the Foote family. We do things together alot. The great friends to us. After the show, the kids went down to get autographs on their basketballs and Elias got me a pink and white jersey. He's always spoiling me. After all the fun there we went out for food at Tepanyaki. It's was a the best food I've ever had. No Joke. They cook in front of you and even throw shimp in your mouth. I loved it.

look at the kids going for the same shrimp.

Spotlight

Today I wanted to do a spotlight on my sister-in-law, Corina Lake. Since it was just her birthday, I decided to do a spotlight on her. We went to Buffet City to eat with some of her friends and the rest of the fam. This place has been one new favorite place to eat. They have the best sushi. Yum!

So back to Corina. She's very loving, friendly and outgoing. She always makes me laugh and we always have a blast taking pictures together. Like around 100 at a time..no joke. lol She is always dressed in her own style. I love that about her. She loves Hello Kitty...I mean she really really loves it, lip gloss and of coarse shoes...lots and lots of shoes. She's been married for 5 years to Kory Lake. They live in a beautiful house together...I think it's Taylorsville??? Corina works in Human Resources. Corina is a great person and a great friend. Corina has a great personality and she's very honest. If I ask her something like, "how does this look on me?" she won't be afraid to tell me.

Corina is also a very good cook and she's been teaching me a few things. I'm sure my husband is greatful for that. I really enjoy hanging out with her. She came over a few month ago and we all went to see Madagascar 2 and she spent the night. It was a blast.

Well here's a few pictures of her...remember ashleigh, keep it short and sweet! You have 5 more post to do. lol Wow I think Miken Is gonna have to help me with my blog and how to post pictures. lol I love you Corina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Love of My Life!!!!!

Ok well I guess I didn't do as well as I wanted to on posting in my blog but I will. you'll see. So, many things happened this month and I'm going to take Miken's advice and just do a little at a time. I guess I'll start with Valentine's Day. Elias totally spoiled me even when I told him not too. We went out to dinner at the Roof Resturant. It's down town and overlooks the Temple. It was so nice and peaceful. It was great to have some time alone with My hubby Elias. I'm so greatful that I have him in my life. I know he loves me and cares so much about me. After dinner we just sat downstairs in the lobby and talked and hugged. We went home and he read the card I gave him and he gave me a cute heart necklace with earings to match. It was so precious. For me Valentine's Day has always been very special for me.It's like a time out to everything that is going on then we both just focus on each other and on how much love we have for each other. I love my Elias with all my heart and I always will.
