Morgan's Baptism!

Saturday Morgan was baptized a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was a special day. Grandpa Pehrson was able to come to make it even more special!
A memory we will never forget is when Nathan filled up the font and came back to pick us up. When we got there it was starting to overflow! Luckily it didn't spill on the carpet. So Nathan drained it some. When it was time to baptize her and we opened the curtains the water drained too much. So Morgan got baptized in about two feet of water! Good thing she's flexible!
Congratulations Morgan we are so proud of you!

long awaited pictures

Aren't these so cute!
Someone that shares our church house asked Aleah to model these adorable dresses. Lucky for me it was on her birthday and the older girl's got a few shots too.

I love the Fourth

These are some old pictures from when I lived in Washington and mom and dad came up for the fourth. We spent it at Aunt Linda's. Wow my girl's have grown!

Happy Father's Day

I have a wonderful father who has always stood by me no matter what. He is my rock. He has taught me to be gentle and loving and kind. He instilled with me a passion for the outdoors. No matter where I live in the world I'm always drawn to the beauty of God's creations. Thanks dad for all you do for me and my family!!!

My children have also been blessed with a wonderful father who works hard and has a passion for life. He teaches them to never give up and to believe in themselves. Thanks, Nate for always striving to be a good dad!!!

Dad

God took the strength

Of a mountain.

The majesty of a tree.

the warmth of a summer sun.

The Calm of a quiet sea.

The generous soul of nature,

The comforting arm of night.

The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagle's flight.

The joy of a morning in spring.

The faith of a mustard seed.

The patience of eternity.

The depth of a family need.

Then God combined

these qualtiies.

When there was nothing more to add,

He knew His masterpiece

Was complete.

And so, He called it.... Dad
