Life is an interesting thing. Growing up in a big family I just kind of thought that is what people did, grow up and have families. But that is not the case for many people these days. Some out of choice and for others it's just not what happened for them. I am blessed to be able to have children and to get the chance to see them learn and grow. I can't imagine my life without any of my kids. I believe that in the next life I won't get to take any of my things with me but I can take my family. I want to be with them forever and I'm excited to watch these 4 girls grow up and hopefully make me a Grandma.
Evelyn had the opportunity to be blessed by her Dad while we were in AZ. She is a special little girl and our older girls love and adore her. It's so fun to see them with her and watch them enjoy her. There is just something special about having a baby in the house. Not that it doesn't come with it's challenges, it does, but overall I feel like it's a blessing. This little girl is such a sweet and tender spirit. She loves to soak in everything that is going on around her and many people have said that her eyes are always just wide open trying to figure out all that is around her. This little Evelyn will do amazing things with her life. She has already taught me so much and I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father for letting me be her Mom.
After we blessed Evelyn we went swimming with Zach's family that came down for the blessing. It was a lot of fun and we don't get to be around them very often cause they all live in Utah and Oregon.
