This year I had so much fun dressing the girls up for Halloween. We went to the school carnival with them on Thursday, and even though they are too little to play a lot of the games they did play a few. Then we took them trick-or-treating to a few houses on Saturday, I don't think they really understood what was going on but they had a tight grip on their buckets and there was no way they were going to let go of them. I love my little buggies. Berklee admiring herself in the mirror
Bryant and I got married four years ago in June. We both grew up in Grace, and knew that this is where we also wanted to make our home and raise our children. Bryant works with his brothers on the family farm, and I am a nurse, and most recently a stay at home mom. We had our first child Brinlee Jo, on May 14, 2008. She was also taken from us that same day, but will always be a huge part of our lives. We were then blessed with beautiful twin girls on July 21, 2009. First came Bailee Jo, then Berklee Brin.Our whole lives revolve around them, we absolutely love being parents. Bryant and I are so happy to be members of the LDS church where we know we will be reunited as a whole family again to be together forever.
