The month of May is a good one, finally some warmth and outdoors is added to our lives. It lifts my spirits and recharges my batteries.

Poor Alice fell and hit her face on the wall and got a fat lip… it was so sad. But I couldn't get over the way she looked with her fat lip. She seriously looked like a stranger for three days straight and I couldn't stop giggling about it. ↓↓↓

*News Flash* Air and I have a photography business. I don't think I've ever posted anything about it on here before and I definitely haven't shared any photos we've taken of other people (for their own privacy), but this shoot we did for my Young Women was special, and so I'm deciding to share the photos here for the first time. I love these girls so much! ↓↓↓

.Easter 2017

20170416 Easter Sunday (5)

We had an amazing Easter weekend. Despite the snow (which was not very convenient for our outside plans) we had such a happy time with the family celebrating the resurrection of Christ. I am so glad we have a holiday set apart each year where we can remember and focus on what that really means to us and recognize just how much we need Him.

I am forever grateful to Jesus Christ for coming to Earth and giving us an example of living that is beyond any kind of life I could have had without Him. I know that true happiness comes from living a life of service and purity. I am far from perfect but because of our Savior, I can be forgiven and that is the best gift of all.

Happy Easter!

We headed up to Cold Lake and went to church with Air's family. After church Grandma fed us an amazing meal!

We all did the black "charcoal" face masks together that night. So much fun.
