"For reasons usually unknown, some people are born with physical limitations. Specific parts of the body may be abnormal. Regulatory systems may be out of balance. And all of our bodies are subject to disease and death. Nevertheless, the gift of a physical body is priceless...."

- Elder Russell M Nelson

"No matter how difficult the trial, and regardless of how heavy our load, we can take comfort in knowing that others before us have borne life's most grievous trials and tragedies by looking to heaven for peace, comfort, and hopefull assurance. We can know as they knew that God is our Father, that He cares about us individually and collectively, and that as long as we continue to exercise our faith and trust in Him there is nothing to fear in the journey."

--M. Russell Ballard, "You Have Nothing to Fear from the Journey", Ensign, May 1997, 59

House Decorations

My house has high cieling and used to have a whole lotta bare walls. Just didn't have a whole lot of things to cover them with. Now I have lots of stuff. Lexi kind of rules the house right now for a little bit, but I think that's okay.


The right is the front door entrance then opens up to my living room.


Special wall dedicated to just Lexi.


My dining room. Pictures of my other two adorable kids!


These flowers are dried flowers I took out of different flower arrangements that I got at Lexi's funeral and stuff. I love how it turned out and greatful to always have these special flowers with me!


My living room


The entertainment center. Used to have nothing on it! Now it's full. The blank frame on the left now has a pic of lexi in it, just didn't have the pic at the time. Then I have a baby pic of Paige and Landen up there also!


Love this! Lots of great memories of the last 8 years and now! Right now Lexi takes over this table as well! :)


Above my kitchen sink. All arrangements and plants I got from special friends and family. I'm nervous though cause I'm a plant killer, but they're beautiful!


This is one of my favorite things hanging on my wall. I got it from family and just had to put a pic of Lexi inside. I love it!

I love all of the fun stuff you have of her! I just ordered some pregnancy pics for the services today so that was neat. It is fun to see you still use yours. I just hope that we are able to get some cute pics of Joy like you were able to get of Lexi. You are in my thoughts all the time. I hope you are doing well. One more week from today. You have fun in Disney! You deserve a vacation!!! I will try to update fast so you can see some pics of Joy :)
