The Little Jane Girls Blessing Day!

Today has been so very special. Jane received a baby blessing by her father, Mr. James. Family traveled for thousands of miles by car to be here for this special day. She wore the blessing dress her mother sewed in college many years ago, a special headband mom made and bracelets sweetly dangled on her wrist from her Aunt Molly. Her sweet white blanket was given to her by her Grandma Lynn. The Cahoon Family made it very special for Jane's important blessing day to all be there. Uncle Spencer said that during the blessing Jane sweetly looked around at all the great men who encircled her. She is a sweet little lady and her fathers words were perfect for her. She is in for a wonderful life!

We got to travel to Moab!!! What a great adventure this was. We drove down with Spencer and MK and spent the weekend hiking, tubing, getting burned, cooking, sleeping under the stars and loving the time together. Was I lucky or what to marry a river guide!!! James is amazing at camping gear, cooking in dutch ovens, paddling and navigating a river…he is just one amazing guy! We love the red rock of Southern Utah. James got to go to Arches for his first time ever! This was a great trip worth repeating!

Courage

COURAGE is facing the seemingly

IMPOSSIBLE and discovering

through your EFFORTS that it

really IS possible!

This little illustrated piece is amazing. I think it is a great inspiration for reminding us to catch new waves, follow big dreams, visit new vistas, reach new heights, overcome fears and see the endless possibilities of life. People have incredible talents and skills and I am amazed everyday at people! Enjoy viewing this short little video:

Kirk Richards and the Young Women

One of my greatest of all dreams was fulfilled this week. While on my mission I would go through the church magazines and find pictures for people learning about the church. A discovery was made as I kept leaning towards certain pieces of art work….Kirk Richards is one of the most amazing church artists ever! Each time I would flip the through the pages of the magazines I would say, “That’s a Kirk Richards…that’s a Kirk Richards…” Well, this past Tuesday for our Young Women’s Activity we went to the very Kirk Richards studio here in Utah. It was an amazing experience and a wonderful opportunity. Art is incredible to me. The talent and skill it takes to transform flat canvas and paint into a dimensional world is just fascinating!

A Footpath to Success!!! This was the HURRAY to James for finishing finals and a Happy 2 month Anniversary! I sure LOVE HIM! It’s amazing to think that we have been married for two months and soon it will be 2 years and on and on  and on. We are very grateful for one another!!! Each even month anniversary I am going to do something special for him. I love even numbers and so that is the reason for only even months.
