Dressed to the Nines


I noticed when we visited the Stevenson family, that little Emma Delight has the kind of wardrobe we all dream of. Everything is new, stylish, clean & classy. It is hard to decide what to have her wear, because her clothes are all so darn cute. We only got a few photos of her because of leaving our camera in the car, but believe me this little gal sparkles from head to toe.

This bottle brush bush was the perfect background for Emma in her red velour outfit. It includes black leggings with red polka dots. Stay tuned for more cute photos. Maybe her mom will post some, for us to enjoy a real fashion show. Eat your hearts out ladies.

Every Member a Missionary


A year ago, Bess, a friend of Jenn's, she worked with asked her about the Church. Much was shared about why the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints members are happy and do what they do. Bess was invited to join the Stevenson family at church on Sundays. Soon she was receiving the missionary discussions, reading the Book of Mormon and committing to baptism.

It all started because Bess asked a question. Jenn was a friend, as well as missionary. Now here is it one year later & Bess received her endowments, on March 30th in the Spokane Temple. We are outside while the ceremony is taking place with Jennifer in attendance.

Last night the missionaries came by our house. They asked me to introduce them to the Meier's, a family in our neighborhood. They want to bear their testimonies & share the gospel message. I've been a friend of Janet Meier's, an inactive member, for several years. Her five children ages 8 to 18 are not members. What a gift if they hear & accept the gospel.

The challenge has been made. Now I need to step up to the plate and show Heavenly Father how much I love him, by inviting his beloved children to share in the joy I have. Pray for them to be ready & me to be a missionary & 'Do it'.

A Visit to the Salt Lake Temple




After years of desire to visit the Salt Lake Temple, Mauri & Aaron, Jory & Sarah, Dad & I finally made it for a session & sealing. This was a first real visit for Mauri, Aaron & Sarah to see the inside & rooms of the Salt Lake Temple.

Thanks to Jennifer's searching & finding family names that needed their temple work to be completed, we had a special reason to go. For the past year we have done the initiatory, endownments & now the sealings for our extended family members.

Camille entertained the kids on Temple Square for us. Then we all had a yummy meal at the Blue Iguana. What a great day.
