HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ANSON

Two years ago today was by far the happiest day of my life! A PERFECT moment! Anson and I were Sealed for time and all eternity. In the Beautiful Salt Lake Temple.


The Day Began...
I remember waking up Nov. 10th and just feeling peaceful, not stressed about my hair, my makeup, if my dress would zip up. I really just wanted to run to the temple and meet up with Anson RIGHT AWAY!

When we finally met up at the temple... Anson and I hugged, it felt like Heavenly Father was also wrapping his arms around me. When we were finally dressed and ready, we got to sit in the CELESTIAL room which was AMAZING, and BEAUTIFUL. With all the beauty that surrounded us nothing compared to what I felt inside. I have NEVER felt the spirit so STRONG. At that moment I was SO thankful for my Heavenly Father and opening my heart to the strong spirit, to know that I was in the RIGHT place with the RIGHT guy.
Anson and I could not stop smiling. When we met our sealer he told us that he felt the spirit strongly... that we were a beaming light, and with that, he said he was afraid that we would be lifted up to heaven before we were even sealed. He then showed us around the Celestial room and pointed out many symbolic things. It was great and very interesting. Then finally we entered the sealing room. I loved to see all of our loved ones smiling at us. Our sealer was amazing and said so many wonderful things. It truly was a PERFECT moment. To kneel across from Anson and feel the way I felt, was to me, a piece of Heaven a gift from God. I LOVE that day those moments in the Temple. I am so thankful to be SO loved by my husband and by Heavenly Father. That day will ALWAYS be the BEST day Of my LIFE!

Plus we went to Disneyland for our honeymoon... why not?? It's magical! :)

Sorry I went waaaay overboard with pictures!!
I wish I could post them all, because I love them all:)

It was SO COLD that day!!

SHEER JOY

I will be forever thankful to my family and friends who traveled to be with us on our special day!!

Anson's BOYS! The 3 on the right are single, Ladies??

Here is a video from our wedding. We had somebody video record when we came out of the temple and during pictures. Anson took the raw footage and started to make our Wedding video. It is not at all done but here is the first minute or so if you are interested.
Of course it's not the BEST quality on the blog??
Make sure you turn your volume up:)

I know Halloween is OVER but...

I forgot to post these...

These are pictures from...Trunk or Treat in our NEW ward.
I tried to get Austin to be Peter Pan and Avery could be Tinker Bell... but Austin wanted to wear his Pirate costume from last year because he liked the ride at Disneyland so much.
It was fun dressing up Avery this year. She is the cutest little FAIRY!

Me and the kids traveled to Reno for Halloween this year so "Disneyland DAD" Mike, could take Austin to Disneyland for Halloween! LUCKY Austin! Austin was Bumble Bee from the Transformers. He had TONS of fun of course:) Two trips to Disneyland in one month sounds like a pretty good deal for a 4 year old.


Avery took 3 steps that night, it must be the Fairy costume!!

"Umm I don't think I want that green hand to get me!"

It's our tradition to build a Ginger Bread house for Christmas every year.
BUT Barb found this Halloween house. It is much easier for us to build a scary looking house rather than a pretty Christmas House. Here are our results.

Scary!!
