MCP Project 52 Week 21/52 theme: Need for Speed I instantly thought of my three boys and their cousins. One of their newest hobbies is long boarding. They love it and the news is quickly spreading to the rest of their cousins. They were thrilled when I told them I had an assignment to photograph speed. They grabbed their boards and I followed them around the neighborhood. I'm not sure who had more fun... them or me?!? The first photo is the one I turned in for week 21. Nice work boys!

As I walked by my front door early this morning this is what I saw... I turned right back around and headed to my room to grab my camera. I wanted to remember this moment forever. If these boys look like they just woke up, they did. They get up at the crack of dawn once a month and head to the temple to do proxy baptisms with their cousins. I love that they are so willing to serve. It warms my heart. 

A little Monday night family fun.

I love days like today. After dinner the kids decided to clean the kitchen for us. We happily accepted their offer and decided to use our free time to take a much needed nap. We felt rested and rejuvenated. My kids rock! Mr. B.T.C. decided to repay each of them. He set up the massage table and gave each of them a massage. He's such a good Daddy! He multiplied their age by two and that's how many minutes each of them got on the massage table. They loved it! I, on the other hand was in the kitchen. I was in the mood to bake. I volunteered to make homemade bread for girls camp this year. Britley , Breeley and Dawson were right by my side helping me every step of the way. Each of them shaped their own loaf. They've become quite the little bread makers! After the bread was completed we decided we were in the mood for some homemade chocolate chip cookies. They were so good! My sister gave me the recipe. She's quite the baker and I'm never disappointed whe

A birthday is an interesting thing. Each person really sees it differently and silently has their very own feelings about it. Today, June 3 is Lorri's Birthday. And as her greatest admirer, lover and 17 year husband, I would like to share a few of my personal birthday thoughts about Lorri. (Yes, you guessed it, she has no idea I know her log-in information and I am violating her blog.) You see, for me, acknowledging a "Happy Birthday" to Lorri wouldn't adequately express my feelings. I literally find myself each day grateful for her being alive. I feel like it is a birthday gift to me each day I awake with her by my side. I am so impressed with the special woman that she is. The way she moves through life with power, commitment and dedication. The kind of mother she is. The kind of wife she is. Many of you out there have a sense about how special this girl is. Let me help you know her a little better. She is the best mother I have ever seen. She is the best mother
