Thyroid Cancer GONE

I went for a 2 year check up at Dr. Abraham's office in SLC and was so happy to get the report that I didn't need to come anymore.  My thyroid cancer has less than 3% chance of reoccurrence and with yearly blood draws we should be good to monitor it.  

We took a quick trip down to walk around temple square and let Lincoln stretch his legs.  It was a long time to sit in the car for a quick 10 minute appointment.  I sure love these two boys so much though and feel so, so blessed to be loved by them.  

Molly's Baptism

Molly was baptized on August 11, 2018.

We had a good time taking her baptism pictures when we were in San Diego back in May. Such a beautiful day and such a beautiful girl.  

She was upset cause I was hassling her about not smiling.  She was grouchy for some strange reason.

She was nervous and excited and so lucky to have her dad by her side to help her.  Tons of friends and family came out to show their love and support.

Her friend Owen came to watch her.  She also watched him back at his baptism in May.  Grandma Carol and Grandma and Grandpa Bateman.  Also Grandma Bitton.

Alan was here from Nampa and got a picture of her riding her hover board in her baptism dress to the church where we met to have a luncheon.  It was a beautiful day.

I'm so proud of my girls for being baptized and choosing to follow the Savior in this life on earth.  I only pray that we can continue as a family to follow Him and his example so that we can find peace and direction through this confused world.  Love this Molly Girl!

Hanging out with Grandma & Grandpa

 While we were away on the Palisades hike with the young women, mom and dad kept the 3 younger kids and took them on a RZR ride with Doug and Ann to their dry farm.  They love grandma and grandpa and had such a good time in the sunshine and outdoors.  They even got to play with a cute granddaughter of Doug & Ann's.

Little Lincoln got sleepy

Spring TaVaci Concert

Molly had her spring TaVaci concert and did such a good job!  We are always so impressed by the concerts put on by Terri Lent.  She does a fantastic job with this group.  Molly has enjoyed it.  It's so fun to see her enthusiasm as she sings and dances to these songs.  We love this girl and her talent and love for singing!!

Cress Creek Trail

We did a little family "hike" up Cress Creek Trail.  It was fun to get out and be together and make more fun memories with these sweet kids.

These two boys hold my heart! 

Man I love this family!

Sledding & New Years Eve

We had two days of some crazy fun sledding and playing in the snow.  On Friday we met up with the Braithwaite clan at Iona hill and had so much fun sledding down the hill for hours.  Alissa had a small incident where the tow rope hook came and smacked her in the mouth and bruised her gums and lip pretty good and knocked a baby tooth loose.  She sat in the car for only a few minutes and back out she went.

Anita & Molly

Lincoln kept taking his gloves off to eat snow so I taught him to lay down and lick it.  Gross I know, but he's going to eat it anyway and might as well keep his hands warm.

Kaiden and Lincoln

Alissa, Amy & Anita - the 3 A cousins all the same age.

The next day on New Years Eve we went to my parents house and pulled everyone around in the field on the RZR.  It was a riot!  We loved every second of it.

Lincoln and I snuggled right up in the back seat and he went to sleep so we took him in to hang out with grandpa so he could sleep peacefully and warm.

We got crazy and Farrah and I and Mike and Dustin even jumped on the sleds for a ride.  We had so much fun.

That night the Hansens came over and we had TONS of food and played some games

So great to have such fun and silly friends!  It was the best new years eve I've had in a while!!
