My missionary son

My oldest son, Tyler, is serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is in the Baguio Mission, and is currently in Candon.

I love hearing from Tyler each Sunday evening via email (Monday morning for him, because of the 14 hour time difference).

It is such a wonderful thing to see my son choosing to serve the Lord. 

Tiffani's 14th Birthday





 We had a special Sunday evening Birthday dinner celebration for Tiffani the week prior to her 14th Birthday with some of our extended family who live close by. 
The menu: Fettucine Alfredo, homemade breadsticks, salads, and chocolate peanut butter pie for dessert.


Surprise!!! 
Tiffani's friends all arrived at our house before she did. 
When she got home from school, she found a big surprise waiting for her.


 I had a spa-themed party for Tiffani with six of her closest friends. This is the cake I made. I had some help from my friend, Michelle, who has made fondant cakes. This was my first one ever. I'm totally sold on fondant cakes now! It was so much fun!!

Happy Birthday Tiffani! I love you so much, and am truly blessed to be your Mom.

Two things that make me happy: Teenagers and Shoes

We recently hosted a "Just Dance!" party at our house for our 17-year-old and his friends.

 I love having a houseful of happy, noisy teenagers! 

I also love seeing all their shoes by our front door. 


Happy New Year!

Happy 2015 from Tiffani and Trent!
