Happy 25th birthday Cameron Jon!

Happy 25th birthday Cameron Jon! What an incredible blessing you have been to our family sweetheart. Dad, Ash and I are so proud of you and love you to pieces; you have grown into an incredible man indeed. You are such a loving, kind, devoted man with such a fun sense of humor and drive that will take you places you never dreamed. We are very excited to see all that this year has in store for you! xoxo Mom & Dad

Then & Now

Then and now - yikes! Memories of many incredible Valentine's Day's are recorded in this brain of mine; so many fond memories ... Creating homemade Valentine's out of paper lace and construction paper hearts with our kids ... Romantic dates with Jon ... Both silly and serious gifts ... Beautiful bouquets of roses ... Baking heart shaped sugar cookies ... Delivering Valentine's to friends door steps, ringing the door bell and running to hide (a Western tradition) ... All of our many lovely traditions, old and new, are woven into the fiber of our lives together! I can't believe that I am so blessed to have shared another holiday with my sweetheart :) Thank you once again Jon for such a special day!! Oh, and our double date with Ash & Mica was icing on the cake :)

Be Mine

Happy Valentine's Day Jon! You are the most incredible man in the world babe. You have such a loving, patient nature and generous, giving spirit. It's fun to dream with you, laugh with you and be silly together. You are a magnificent father and devoted friend and have always served as a remarkable role model for so many people. I love that you choose to magnify the Priesthood which you hold and embrace life's joys, challenges and even trials with a wise, eternal perspective. You bless my life every waking moment and I feel exceedingly blessed to know that you are MINE forever and always! xoxo

PS Don't you love our retro wedding picture, haha. I "red up" our hair to match the fiery kiss!

Vision

Strife, whimsy, brilliance, absurdity - do not even begin to describe the needs, experiences and outlook of the incredibly diverse, challenging and delightfully refreshing individuals I taught recently!

What a privilege it was to cover a myriad of subjects engaging students at the college in discussions which ripped them out of their comfort zones, compelled them to analyze their core beliefs, evaluate their possibilities and recognize their individual potential, dreams, goals and very reason for being! It was a most rewarding experience indeed!

Leadership skills training for leaders in the making though some may struggle and loose site of their passion due to the heartaches and wounds they suffer daily. Society sometimes does not place a precedence on nurturing our nations precious youth. This country's success, or lack thereof, will be based on that which is achieved within each home by parents who seek to influence their children for good! As a beloved prophet once said, "There is no success which compensates for failure in the home."

Old School

From back in the day around age 30 - yup over the hill Barbie and mid-life crisis Ken are still rockin' & rollin' !
