Our BIG News!!!

Is it possible for so many dreams to come true in the same week?!! We are SO excited around here! Well, first of all, as of May 1st, my twin sister is now engaged to be married!! Yay!!!!!! :) And the next big news that finally became official this past week -- Jared was approved for a job he applied for in the Reserves, and we are coming home!!!!!! :) We found out about this job back in January, and have been going through all kinds of different processes and approvals, applying and all that, never really believing it would really happen -- because this is seriously our dream job and what we've been wanting all along - to get to move back home to Arizona!! And it finally became official this week - the final approval - it's really going to happen! We will be moving at the end of this month to Pima, and we will actually be getting to live right next door to my parents -- we are SO excited!! Anyway, it is a long story, but that is pretty much the main point -- we are coming home, and we just feel so very blessed with all these amazing miracles this month!! :)
These are just some fun pictures we took of the kids a few Sundays ago (for Mother's Day pictures)... Always just growing up so fast.... These guys are just ecstatic at the thought of living in Arizona by all their grandparents and cousins! They keep asking us when we are leaving... :)


These are some pictures of Athena and her husband-to-be (Brennon Jones)!! They will be getting married on June 26 in the Mesa Temple. There is no way to even describe how insanely excited and happy I am for her -- ever since we were little we always said we were supposed to be married and be moms at the same time together -- that was always the plan! I just can't believe it is finally going to come true! And I just had the opportunity to meet Brennon this past weekend, and he is awesome! They make such a perfect couple!! I am just SO excited for them! :)


Life is just so amazing and wonderful!! We are all just walking around in a dream world right now!! :)

I was looking at Athena's pictures not knowing it was her and not you and I was thinking, "How can Jared look so different!" And then I realized it wasn't Jared. So dumb, I know.
We're excited to have you closer!!!
