I got this glimpse of Navy today, and I immediately thought two things.
First…she is SO grown up.
Second…she is stunning!
Natural Beauty
2.0
Ure/Samuelian 2.0!
Doey’s Farewell
Someone got added to the missionary tree today!
My kids…
and Micah and I are really sad to say goodbye to Doey for a year and a half.
Dominican Republic…you are lucky to have her!!

(Update: Corona Virus 2020 hit, and she was forced home after a few months of the Mexico MTC. Sad for the DR….but great for us!)
A Live Student
Pippi graduated from teaching her furry friends today — to having a real live student.
And Blush was a perfect pupil.
Dash’s Baptism
Dash’s baptism was awesome.
It was a family affair, and Dash wanted it to be that way.
Dash chose Bryan to baptism, because “Bryan is the closest man to God he knows”!
Navy gave a great talk about baptism.
Then Pippi sang “Liken the Scriptures”, and did the sweetest job.
At the end, Dash got up and sang the end with her, and it was so perfect.
Dash was then baptized.
And Scout and Navy got to be the witnesses — which was really cool.
While Dash was getting changed, they all got to watch the baptism video I made for Dash — which was awesome!
Then Scout gave a talk on the Holy Ghost.
B also confirmed him, and gave him one of the sweetest blessing I have ever heard. He talked all about how Dash was such an awesome boy, and how he is such a great addition to our family. He also said to look for in a spouse, the qualities he sees in his mom, and I got super emotional. Dash is going to grow up to be pretty spectacular.

It was such a spectacular day. So many people were in town for it, and I absolutely loved how it was Dash and his siblings doing everything — with B as the cherry on top!
I love you Dash.
A Date With a Viking
My boy wanted a special date.
So I said yes to a viking riding his bike, while I drove next to him.
I was going to put his bike in the back of my car, but he preferred we do it this way.
Sounds good Dashy…sounds good.
The cousins came to town in an RV…and it is rad!
We headed down to Capo beach for some heart rock searching with the crew.
Although some of us found the RV more exciting, when it housed the cutest little baby!
Hunger Games
When Navy asked if she could watch Hunger Games (that is PG13) when Scout did this weekend, I told her she could, if she read the book first. Navy is a sort-of reader, so I thought it might be a stretch for her to get through it.
With full blown determination, Navy was so excited to sit down with a bowl of popcorn, to watch the movie version of the book that she read 24 hours a day for 5 days!
How impressive.
Monkey Ways
Even though he has been told not to do this….he does.
As did I, when I was little.
Valentine’s Day
I have been pretty swamped lately. So when my kids asked me last night what they were going to pass out for Valentine’s Day, I gulped! It had NEVER EVEN CROSSED MY MIND!!! I ran to the sold out shelves of Target, and then had the most genius idea ever!
I grabbed a bunch of suckers, and then ran home to my computer and sent a photo over to Costco…
and two hours later…
Voila!
Valentine cards….check!
