Rylee's Room

I have been dreaming about decorating a PINK nursery for YEARS! My ideas have, of course, changed as I have done each one of my boys' rooms, seen some of my friends' daughter's nurseries and looking at other blogs. In the end I am very happy with the way Rylee's room turned out. It was so much fun to buy pink, paint, hang and finish my little GIRL'S nursery. She loves it too :).

Hanging out in her crib, enjoying the view...

Our Story

Welcome to our blog, it is fun to have you here to read about our little life here in AZ. Matt and I have been married for 13 happy years. We moved to sunny, AZ after both graduating from Southern Utah University (which is where we met.) We moved here so Matt could attend dental school. During school, we were blessed with two, darling little boys and our third little guy came shortly after Matt graduated. Wade is 11, Seth is 9 and Trent is 6. They are BUSY little boys who keep us on our toes, but we love it! We are still over the moon for our fourth child, A GIRL, Rylee who is 5! Our newest addition, Casen Judd, is 2 and is the sweetest thing on this Earth :)! Rylee will get to be our little princess forever. The boys will have lots of fun too! I was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in August 2012. We have been fighting the fight of our lives since then and do not plan to give up anytime soon. Very thankful for our family, friends, neighborhood, but most of all our knowledge of the Gospel that carries us through each day. We know our family is forever!

Words Too Cute To Forget

12/15/2011

Wade: "When I grow up and get married, I'm not going to see my wife very much."

Me: "Why not?"

Wade: "Well if you play in the NFL you have to travel a lot so I won't see her."

Me: "What about during the off season?"

Wade: "Well, I guess I'll see her then."

Seth: "Why are you and dad going to the Temple? Is one of your friends getting married?"

Me: "No, we are going because Heavenly Father has asked us to. We are going through the Temple for people who have died so they will have the opportunity to accept the Gospel."

Seth: "Like Michael Jackson?"

Me: "Yes, like Michael Jackson."

Seth: "The doctor gave Michael Jackson too much medicine so his heart stopped and he died. He is in Heaven. You can go to the Temple for him."

Me: "Yes, that sounds like a good idea."

Seth: "Mom, are we going out to dinner tonight?"

Me: "No."

Wade: "Seth, why do you always ask if we are going out to dinner?"

Seth: "Because I like to go out to dinner, I like to get pop."

Wade: "Seth, you can't drink too much pop or you will get fat and have to go on Biggest Loser and exercise all day until you get in shape again."

Seth: "Are they building it for you and dad to go in?"

Me: "Yes, they are."

Seth: "Are you going to get married in there?"

Me: "No, we already got married in the Temple by Ampa's house."

Seth: "Can we go inside?"

Me: "Yes, before they dedicate the Temple, you can come inside and look around with mom and dad. When you are 12 you can go inside and do baptisms for the dead too."

Seth: "Do we have to wear fancy clothes?"

Me: "Fancy clothes?"

Seth: "Yeah, like marrying clothes?"

Me: "No, church clothes are fine."

Seth: "Mom where is Ju?"

Me: "She is staying at Ampa's and visiting Marshall."

Wade: "His name is Marshall, if his name were Marsha he would be a girl."

later on that day:

Seth: [while skipping down the hall] "Ju is staying with Ampy and seeing Marsha whenever she wants!"

Me: (Sigh) :) "Sethie, his name is Marshall."
