The last few months------

The last few months have been very busy and I haven't had time to do a post. So a lot has gone on. I will sum it all up in this post. I was put in as RS President in Sept. So my life is busier than I thought possible.

Livy had a Birthday in October. Happy Birthday to Livvy.


Rylee also had a birthday in November. It seems like yesterday I was in MI helping Kassie with her. Happy Birthday to Rylee.








The beginning of Dec. We had a sibling Christmas party. We had dinner at Maddux and toured Carol's house. It was a fun day.







Madison Kate Nielson joined our family on November 21. She weighed 7lbs 80z and was 18 1/2 inches long.




I spent a week and a half with Kellen and Lydia. Kellen had surgery on his nose. I got to hold and love the baby.








We took Rye and Hannah to Temple Square. The light were beautiful and we had a good night.


















We had everyone home for Christmas. Had lots of good food, good fun and laughs. It was nice to have everyone. Kassie and Travis decided to come at the last minute. We were glad they were here. Hannah said a funny that made us all laugh , I think out of shock. I asked what the three gifts were that the wisemen brought. She said,"Gold , Frakenscinse and Meth". She was emabarassed about it.





















Christmas came and went and life went on. Madison was blessed on Dec. 26th. She wore a beautiful little dress her Grandma Ryan made for her. The blessing was very nice.












Mallory had her baby three weeks early. Raegan Jean Bilbao, weighing 6lbs .05oz and 18 1/2 in long was born on Dec. 27th.











So as you can see I had a very busy past few months. But it was all good. We love and appreciate our kids and the way they are choosing to live their lives. Our greatest desire is that they will do all they can to bring their families to Christ. That they will speak and testify of him to their children. I know it is the greatest joy in our life to see our kids living good righteous lifes.

The babies just keep coming! And they are all so beautiful. Congrats to Mallory and family. I love her name, too. You are so very blessed Leslie. Your children have all chosen to make Christ the center of their lives. That is the greatest gift a parent can receive.

My favorite picture... Hannah at Temple Square. My favorite saying... Hannah and the three "wise gifts" (we know what you meant!)
