Sweet Tender Mercies



I first want to say how much I love my little girl! She is such a blessing in my life. This week has been hard to say the least, I got a call Monday morning from my mom saying that my brother Curtis had been in a serious car accident. He was driving home Sunday night and a truck broad-sided his car. His two kids were in the car with him and miraculously were ok (Abby does have a broken arm, and Max has some bumps and bruises), but my brother on the other hand is in critical condition. I struggled when I heard the news, knowing that I was away and couldn't help. It was hard, especially when Blake had to go to work. But there was my sweet little Jaylee, she was my sweet tender mercy during this hard time. She would look at me concerned and then give me a huge smile, it was like she was telling me things would be okay. And for the most part she was right. Curtis still has a long way to go before he is out of the woods, but they were able to stop the internal bleeding and his brain hemorrhage seems to be decreasing. The doctors say they are cautiously optimistic about his recovery. I want to thank all of those who have been such a good support to my family and Curt at this time. Please keep Curt and our family in your prayers.

Diamond Lake



This past weekend we were able to go to a cabin on Diamond Lake with some of our friends that are in law school with Blake. It felt so nice up there that even I got in the water! Jaylee even took a ride in the paddle boat, but I was too worried to go past the shallow part of the lake with no life jacket for her so we stayed close to the dock. I didn't dare putting her in the water because the week before we went to Coeur d'alene lake and I put her feet in and she screamed at me! Ha ha, she is like me when it comes to cold water. We had so much fun swimming, kayaking, and paddle boating. It was nice to have a weekend away.

Jaylee's Blessing

While we were in Utah we decided to bless Jaylee. It was so nice to have our close friends and family come to share with us this special occasion. I didn't even make it past the opening song and prayer before I was an emotional wreck! Ha ha! I am so grateful for Blake and his beautiful blessing that he gave. And I am grateful to all of those who came, we love you all so much.

Our Trip to Utah

We got to visit friends and family over the 4th and we had so much fun! It was nice because most of them hadn't seen Jaylee yet so it was nice to show her off. We squeezed in a lot while we were there, everything from boating to staying at the cabin, swimming, friend and family bbqs, the parade, some intense bad-mitten and more.

Here are some pics of us at the Murray parade



First Father's Day

So Blake got to celebrate his first true Father's Day! Jaylee and I decided to get him a Roger Federer hat and making him a nice dinner (which only happens on very special occasions! ha ha). He is already a great dad and I love watching him with Jaylee, especially when they fall asleep together. Happy Fathers Day!

Our 3rd Anniversary


We just celebrated our 3rd anniversary on June 12th. I can't believe that it's already been that long. Blake surprised me with flowers and McDonalds breakfast! He knows me too well. It was way cute. I am so grateful for him and all that he does for me each and every day. Thanks love for 3 amazing years!

Jaylee's first church experience

We took Jaylee to church for the first time on Sunday and she did so well. We are still teaching primary and the kids were so excited to see her and they even sang to her during sharing time.


She looked so cute in her little dress and bow!

Pretty in Pink

It's so much fun dressing Jaylee up all cute with bows and cute outfits! So of coarse I had to take pictures and even got ones of her smiling, lucky me!
