Cory such a busy busy guy! Full time student going and completing the CLS program and in 2 yrs headed for medical school! Always slammed with homework but with his dedication honesty and prayer he sure does get blessed. Part time work at Mckay Dee Hospital, he sure has quite the patience working there and does his job to the fullest. He has a calling as the Secretary in priesthood and does all he can to fulfill his calling. He loves his daughters and when he cans, gives the love and daddy time to them. He is a wonderful father and I enjoy watching him with the girls! Cor is a fabulous husband and is devoted to our marriage, he has wonderful attributes of being my husband and he has exactly what it takes to have me as his wife, (I wasn't very nice or easy to get haha). He is spiritual and has a strong testimony. His foundation is strong and could never be cracked or shaken. He holds on strong to what he has and would never let go of his family the gospel and his testimony. What a great example he is!

Me

Ya singles ward sticking my finger in a pigs nose.. haha ya good times!!
I have had way too many health problems, but, now I am looking at them in a way where they have strengthened me! My testimony, increased empathy, faith, acceptance, knowing God is in control of all things, greater knowledge, and a love for who I am and for all that I have in my life! It's about what we do have. Not about what we don't or can't have. I am so thankful for all that I have been blessed with!! Seizures, hypersomnia, hypothyroid, damage to the liver, depression...but hey who cares! I have the Gospel in my life, I have my 2 beautiful girls a wonderful husband, family, friends, my Father in Heaven, and the atonement!!

Emily

Awe..what can I say about my sweet 2 yr old. I love her, I do I do I do!! I am learning a lot and my patience which I would think is being destroyed is actually being strengthened with this little girl. She expresses herself very well and lets you know whats up and how she's feeling. She shows her love and excitement towards Katie..laughs with her, shares with her, cleans her spit up (she did that on her own) plays and try's to feed and change her. She shows her love to both her mom and dad by running and giving us hugs and kisses. She loves her cuddle time and leave me alone don't touch me time. She lets ya know when shes upset by belly tantrums,and well ya you know. Emily loves to color on everything and right now we are really trying to focus on paper and not the wall =)Emily also loves loves loves to sing! She is a sweet girl and has taught me so much!!

Katie Bug

Katie~
She's doing awesome! Has such a sweet and HAPPY personality. She smiles when her sis hits her, she smiles when she has RSV (except for when she has a tube going up and through and down her nose), she is just a perfectly happy girl..all the time! She loves Emily to pieces. Katie sticks both of her feet in her mouth and anything she can get a hold of goes in her mouth. She rolls a little bit and when sitting she smiles as she begins to face plant. =) Katie has always slept through the night, drools like no other. Katie's got that pure look of love in her eyes and has made our family closer together!!
