Little Emma(:

This is Emma.
She is a lover of cats, swing sets, watermelon, her daddy, Hungry Hungry Hippos and everything beautiful.
From the minute I met her, she has always been the cutest little girl ever, who gives the best hugs!
Every time she sees me sad, or lonely, she gives me the biggest hug, and says nice things in her cute little 3-year-old way of talking.

She is the biggest example to me. She has such a strong spirit, and is so lovable to everyone. She definitely inspires me to be a better person.
She has the most gorgeous eyes, and most CUTTESSST smile that makes everyone else smile!
This quote from Elder Uchtdorf reminds me of her:
"But those who want to improve and progress, those who learn of the Savior and desire to be like Him, those who humble themselves as a little child and seek to bring their thoughts and actions into harmony with our Father in Heaven—they will experience the miracle of the Savior’s Atonement. They will surely feel God’s resplendent Spirit. They will taste the indescribable joy that is the fruit of a meek and humble heart. They will be blessed with the desire and discipline to become true disciples of Jesus Christ." - President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I'm so excited that my little Emma will be my step sister in just two weeks! 

 She is the sweetest girl ever, and she makes me a better person.
I'm so thankful for this girl in my life. She opens a new way of looking at life, "Simply beautiful, and beautifully simple."



 I <3 my cute little Emma.




Keenanda Wedding 7.18.15

On Saturday, July 18, 2015, my oldest sister, Amanda, got married in the Oquirrh Mountain temple! 
For months, we had been working so hard to pull of the perfect wedding for Amanda and Keenan, and 7.18.15 was the day that all that work payed off. 
That morning was one of the craziest mornings of my life. There was still so much setting up and decorating to do! 
Finally after we all got ready, we headed off to the temple. It was crazy to think that Amanda would never live in the same house as me ever again, and after tweleve years of that being the case, it was quite sad, but I was so excited for her to get married in the Temple and be sealed for eternity!
The temple was beautiful! And it was such a beautiful day, so that made it 183739 times more perfect!

This is my other sister, Heather. She's pretty cool, I guess.
Even though I wasn't able to go inside the temple for their sealing, I could still feel the spirit so strongly! There isn't a better feeling than the feeling the Holy Ghost gives you.  
After the sealing, we all took about a gazillion pictures.
Aren't they just the cutest?!
These two cuties on the bottom will be my two new sisters in a couple weeks, and I'm so excited and so lucky to have such cute little sisters who are such great examples to me! They were holding hands all around the temple so they wouldn't get lost! They are too sweet!
After the temple, we got ready for the reception that night! 
We set up this ADORABLE timeline of pictures of them, and it was just the cutest ever.
Instead of spending all this money on a huge, fancy wedding cake, they had doughnuts shaped as a cake! Smart, right?!

The reception was just amazing! Best one I have ever been to!
We did the cutest thing! About 5 minutes before the reception ended, we all lit sparklers, made two lines, and had Amanda and Keenan walk through the two lines, and out the door to their brand new married life!



It was such a beautiful night full of smiling faces and happy hearts. Everyone was so helpful with all the food and decorations, and all in all, it was a perfect day!
(p.s.The lights were so pretty, so of course I had to take a million pictures;)

Congratulations to my gorgeous sister, Amanda, and her new husband Keenan! Love you two!!!
