Happy Father's Day Daddy!! We Love You!

If I would have known 10 years ago that my kids would be calling David Lee "daddy", I would have laughed out loud!! We hardly even talked to one another in High School. I do remember secret crushes for David (but what other girl didn't?) but was too shy to even talk to him! Oh have times changed!

I am so grateful and feel so fortunate to have married David. He makes me so happy and the kids just adore Him. He is everything I could have expected from a great husband and more. He always puts his family first and foremost, which is a lot of the reason why we are in Utah now.He was taught great values, has an awesome work ethic (too good sometimes) and is the kind of employee every employer hopes to have. I think the first time David's true colors shown through to me was when David owned his own cabinet business while at BYU. David, through the trials of being a business owner always made sure that he followed through with what he promised. He gave a 110% to everything he did. He always said he wanted to be true to his word and wanted for people to know that they could count on him. He never cut himself a pay check unless his partner knew about it and did the same, even when we REALLY needed it. He always plays by the rules, no matter what. I couldn't believe how honest he was sometimes. I knew then that I not only had a great husband, but a great man.

The best legacy he has given to his children is the gospel and his testimony of Jesus Christ. He has set such a great example by being worthy to have served a mission, marry in the temple so our family can be together forever and continuing to serve in the church. There is nothing that is more important than the gospel. Our children are truly blessed!
Thank you honey for all that you do for our family and me. You are so awesome and I admire you in so many ways. Thanks for choosing ME to marry!! I hope that our kids will follow in your footsteps and be a righteous leader and example as you were and still are to so many! We love you, Daddy and hope that you have a great Father's Day!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
