I love to see the Temple.

On Sunday afternoon, Scott and I decided to take the kids for a walk around the river. It was a beautiful summer day and we had so much fun. We managed to get some amazing pictures of the Temple too. It made me realise how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful area and how much I take it for granted. I really need to be better at appreciating the beauty around me and sharing it with my children.



Our attempt at a family pic didn't turn out too well, but at least we were all looking in the same direction.





I love this picture of Niamh, I can't believe how grown up she is getting.

8 years!!!

July 28th was our 8th wedding anniversary. WOW, 8 years already. It has been a blast and it just keeps getting better.
Scott, I love you so much. Thankyou for being an amazing husband and father. If I could choose again, I would still choose you every time. The past 8 years have been amazing, I look forward to sharing eternity with you. Love ya babe xxx

Niamh's 7th Birthday

Niamh turned 7 on July 16th. She was sooooo excited for her birthday. I swear she has been almost 7 since last August.....lol. She asked for 2 things this year, a Nintendo DS and a roller skating party. Unfortunately, the skating rink was closed on Thursday (the day of her birthday) so she had to have her party on the Friday instead. It actually ended up working out totally to her advantage though, because it meant she got 2 whole days of birthday celebrations.

She chose to go to Red Robin for lunch and LOVED it when they sang to her and gave her an ice-cream sundae.



We saved her DS for her party the next day and she was so excited when she opened it.



Of course her cake was Hannah Montana! She got the CD too and we have been listening to Hannah Montana non-stop for the past 3 weeks.



Here are all the cute girls who came to her party. They had so much fun and were all such good sports. Even though they all fell a few times, they got right back up and kept trying. By the end of the party they were all pretty good at it.



Niamh is such a joy to have in our family. She is such a good helper with her little brothers. It amazes me as I watch her grow, just how smart she is. She has a heart of gold and loves to help. Niamh, I am so blessed to be your Mam. You make me want to be a better person. You love me unconditionally and I am so grateful for that. We love you sweetheart xx
