Spring!

Yep, that's Allie. Kinda looks like she's doing a little dance on the electric wire up in the clouds, huh? Please don't call us in for child abuse- the kid loves it! She kept asking to do it again and again. You should really see the looks we get when Jacob does this. Something between amazement and sheer terror. I really don't blame them. It's just not normal to see a toddler free-falling from 15 feet up in the air. I admit, I get a bit nervous. Let's just say I REALLY trust my husband. Obviously Allie does too! Now Kenna on the other hand, hates it. She will cling on for dear life if daddy even lifts her up above his head. The contrast between my two little angels is pretty funny to see.

The picture was actually taken at the Logan cemetery. Jacob's Grandma Falslev passed away a few weeks ago and we traveled up to Logan for the funeral. The funeral was beautiful. It's incredible to be able to honor a person who has spent 80 years of life and has many wonderful events and accomplishments to look back on. It's even more remarkable to think of the sweet reunion that occurs in those first moments after one's passing. How grateful I am to know that life continues. Not only life, but happiness. I was honored to be able to sing the closing song at the funeral. It was quite a challenge and very intimidating, but I am so grateful to say that it turned out well- all due to much help from up above. I don't want to make a habit of singing at funerals, however...


Ahhh, look at my cute little ladies. They really are so stinkin' cute (even if getting a really cute picture of them in their really cute dresses is near impossible). They made me grateful to be able to celebrate being a mother this past Sunday. It's also because of them I have developed an even greater respect and admiration for my own mothers. I am so blessed to have an amazing and talented mom and a very loving and wonderful mother-in-law. They are such great examples to me and I often find myself shaking my head wondering, "how did they do it?" Thank you to all the beautiful women in my life who help inspire me to be better. It's good to give ourselves a pat on the back every once in a while. Way to go moms!
