Sealing and Blessing

This last weekend was a busy one for us. We were able to take Maggie to the Jordan River Temple and have her sealed to us. It was a neat experience for all of us. Abby was able to wear her blessing dress because it hasn't been a year since we had her sealed and her dress now comes just above her feet. I was so excited. We got two uses out of it. Maggie's dress was so cute and I am grateful that I have a talented Aunt who made both dresses for us. Then on Sunday we did her blessing. It was a neat blessing. By the end of the weekend we were all exhausted. We had a good time with all of our family and the pictures show a little bit our our day.

I think she has had enough of the Temple.


I think he has had enough too.


She looks like she has had it as well.

Last Days of School

Zack has made it through kindergarten and the last days were full of fun activities. I have put some of the pictures on of what he did those days as well as what the girls were doing to pass the time.

Maggie's Finalization

On May 23rd Maggie officially became ours. The judge was thrilled to have an adoption. I gathered that his work for the day wasn't all so pleasant. He came right down to take pictures and wanted to hold the girls. Our families were there to support us and it was a good day.

Brad's parents were there.


My parents, Brandon, and Raquel were there.
