"Joy"

So I really like this picture so I thought I would share it with you all...If you want to check out more from this artist you can visit his website http://www.bowman-art.com/

"Joy"

Blessed are ye because of your faith. And now behold, my joy is full. 3 Nephi 17:20 "This is one of my favorite moments in the Book of Mormon. After stating this, Jesus simply spends some time blessing and interacting with the children, while angels descend out of heaven. In this piece, I wanted to depict our Savior in that moment of "full joy". I see Him smiling and laughing spontaneously, filled with so much love for those young people, to the point of weeping for joy (as it mentions in the record He did). If its human nature to manifest feelings of joy and love in that way... then I have to believe that would especially be the case for the One who is the embodiment of every good and righteous instinct of human nature."~Dave Bowman~

Sarah's first Easter :)

Well it was Sarah's first Easter that she was able to go to Easter egg hunt and actually have fun. Last year at this time she was only 5 weeks old and we didn't really leave the house much. But she had a lot of fun and she clung mostly to Dad during the whole time. We also took pictures of her on Sunday with some eggs...enjoy.





So The eggs at the hunt were of course plastic with plenty of jelly beans and other candy. However, we colored eggs on Saturday night and she got to play with the real ones and of course she tried to eat them so when we were done taking pictures her lips were yellow...lol

Our Temple Day

April 1, 2009
This was our big day it turned out to be just perfect. I was crying even before we even got to the sealing room. I couldn't hold it in at all, but that is just fine because I think everyone else was crying as well. I know that when Sarah was brought in they sure started to at least. She was so darn beautiful it took my breath away when I saw her.
As you can see for yourself she did look very beautiful. I just know that this day will always be a special one to remember. We had many friends and family there to share in our special day and that was wonderful. I know that some were not able to make it to the Sealing and we sure did miss them. However, we know in our hearts that they were there with us.

When I sat down next to my Mom in the sealing room she said that there were many there with us that we could not see and that was so true. I know that Zach and I both felt that was true and that we felt them there. I hope that all that were there know how much we appreciate them and are grateful that they were there to support us on our BIG day!

I don't have the words to explain the emotions in my heart about this day. I am so grateful that we were able to be sealed as a family. I know that everything was in God's time and at his will and it has been a hard path to follow, but a well worn path that others have followed as well. I am grateful for those who have gone before me and have been an example to me and my family.

Again thank you to all that have been with us in this journey and I hope that we may see many more exciting days like these. Loves from Zach, Tai, & Sarah. :)

Temple Time

So here is our big news for this month. We are going to be sealed in the Logan Temple on April 1, 2009 at 4:00 pm. Yes I know we are really excited. It has been a rough month and it hasn't been easy at all. I know that Satan has been working extra hard on us this month. I keep thinking that it can't come soon enough. But I know that it will happen, we may have a fight or two more before then, but it will happen. I know you can see me with a big SMILE right now. Zach will be having his endowment's out on Tuesday night at the Ogden Temple and we are hoping that everyone that can will be able to come to that session. It will be the 6:15 pm session on Tuesday March 31st. I know that we are going to have family there and we would love for our friends to join us at the endowment, since we have limited space in the sealing. :) Loves all!! Keep us in your prayers the next week, I know we sure need them to help us through this next week.

Sarah's first BIRTHDAY

So these are some pictures of Sarah's 1st birthday. Since she was born on February 29th we celebrated her birthday on February 28th and March 1st this year. So we got to have cake two days in a row!!!WAHOO!!! It was just the 3 of us this year maybe next year we will have everyone over. But it turned out to be a great day! Thanks for everyone who called to wish Sarah a happy birthday. Loves!!!

Catching UP

Still missing my Dad 6 years later...Richard Clyde Gibson December 1, 1943 - February 27, 2003. This picture is from his funeral. I am sad to say I don't have any pictures saved on my computer of my Dad they are all hanging up in my home. But I still love him all the same and I still miss him as well. He will be my "Papa Bear" FOREVER!!

Okay so I know that I haven't been on here for a very long time. However, I have had good reason not to be very active on my computer. I have been very busy with both work and my little Sarah. She is so funny, I was just finishing up dinner when I looked back at Sarah in her highchair and this is how she was sitting. I was cracking up, she was just kicking back...chillin...I told Zach to get the camera and get some pictures.
So our little miss Sarah Claire is going to be a year old this weekend. Since she was born on February 29th we are going to be celebrating her birthday this year tomorrow February 28th. So even though we are celebrating her first birthday she isn't really 1...lol...Yeah yeah we will get to choose when she celebrates her birthday for a very long time. Well until she is old enough to decide when she wants to celebrate her birthday. I know that everyone has the moments when they look back and think where has the past year gone? Well I am thinking that right now and it is very strange how time flies. The past couple of days I have just been thinking about everything that has happened in the past year and it is unbelievable. I know that Sarah has been a blessing in our lives and I am so excited to continue the journey of being her Mom!!
I remember when I was a kid when we would take a bath my Mom would style our hair in a crazy fashion when she was washing it. So now whenever I give Sarah a bath I like to do something crazy when I am washing her hair. I have Zach take a picture every now and again. Well this one was a keeper...I just love her smile and you can see her all her teeth. She is getting another one...oh my she doesn't sleep all to well when she has a tooth about to break through. Last but not least our Sarah asleep. I know everyone has had these pictures of their kids in odd sleeping positions...but ya know I have to share mine of Sarah. I just love going in and seeing her with her little bum in the air and it just makes me smile. Just thinking about it makes me smile. Just tonight I went in there because she was making some crazy sounds and I get in there and she has gotten her face smooshed up into the corner of the crib and she is trying to move around so that she gets comfortable. Well okay that is enough of my ramblings about Sarah. Everything is going great here we just keep trucking along and getting by.
