Baptism

 Charlotte was baptized in Utah this summer.  It was a memorable experience since we all had to wear masks inside.. Even though we all had spent a lot of time together with out them.  We zoomed in family that were unable to attend.  Charlotte very much enjoyed her special day.  We had talks given by Uncle Brent and Aunt Michelle.  Stella sang a gorgeous song. It was a very special day for Charlotte and she loved those that were there to support her.  

Last

These are the last photos I took in Albuquerque.  If I am honest, I am really sad to look at them.  Albuquerque.was.hard.  So hard.  But in the end it was so good and I truly miss some things.  Number one, my friends that I made. It took a while and a lot of heartache of feeling left out and not wanted.  With people asking others to do things right in front of me, yet I wasn't invited.  It was painful.  So I looked for friends outside of church. I prayed and prayed and I found some great friends that I will forever be grateful for. They truly were answers to my prayers. 

Second it that blue sky.  There is absolutely nothing like those blue New Mexico sky's. 

Third, all the little things my heart aches for that is there.. I can't even think of them all with out a little tear in my eye.

 

Albuquerque will always have a place in my heart. A place where I grew and a person, my marriage was healed, my baby was born, and my life was saved. 

 

Mothers day

Mothers Day was a day that I currently can't remember. I am positive it was lovely and a delight.  I am also positive it was crazy as we moved a few days later.  I am absolutely grateful to be a mother. It is exhausting, hard, painful, yet it is fulled with so much love and joy.  As I looked at my pictures to pick one to post I couldn't even imagine leaving any of these out.  They have so much personality of what I love about being a mother to these blessings from above.    I love you my beautiful children. 

 

Eight

 Charlotte Turned 8! She was so excited and couldn't wait to be baptized.  

 

We celebrated at Grandma and grandpa Sallays house, where Uncle Brent, Aunt Michelle, Stella and Vivian came to help.  We love our Charlotte.  She is kind, helpful and loves being a big sister to Nicholas and Henry.  If she is in the right mood she loves to be a second mom and she is pretty good at it.  Charlotte loves to dance, sing and be artistic in every way she can.  Sometimes it is exhausting on how much art she wants to do in a day.  But I absolute love it and I try to get her to always do it.  She is a fantastic artist and I am excited to get some frames and show her work in my house.

Charlotte, I want you to know how much we love you. I love you so much and I will always be so grateful for you passion for life. You are such an amazing example to me.

and in the moring

Nellie is making WAFFLES!

we love waffles here at our house, except for daddy.

{he likes pancakes}

Henry is still rather ill.. He keeps throwing up and I am trying to get him an appointment but they don't have any till next week.. Hopefully he gets over this, 3 weeks of throwing up is to long for my sweet boy.

I HATE seeing him this way..

We love this kid and it makes us so sad.
