About Me

Welcome to our blog!! This is a blog about our life, mostly from Jennifer's perspective. We were married in July 2007 at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas and then sealed together for eternity in the Albuquerque New Mexico Temple in June 2009. We welcomed Ms. Ellie Sophia into our lives on February 9, 2010 and she is absolutely the light of our lives. Then we added Silas Ian on January 4, 2013 and his smile just brightens our days. We live in Rio Rancho, New Mexico where Justin works as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and I pursue my PhD in Nursing while being a stay at home mom! Life is so chaotic but we really couldn't ask for a more perfect life!

Soccer and more soccer.......

We headed out on another crisp morning for another of Ellie's soccer game. The weather is still really great especially given that it is so early in the morning. Ellie is still really excited about playing and contributing to her team. I am still not sure that she fully grasps what she should be doing out on the field. She tries her hardest to run AWAY from the ball even when it comes right to her. We need to work on that!

Here is Silas looking mischevious in his hoodie :)

Warming up with teammates - Evick and Trai


 This is more of what Ellie wants to be doing - running around unbridled!
Teammates: Avily and Eden
 Getting ready to start the game

Another favorite pastime during the game: Fixing her hair!
 .......and again
 Action shot!

She really enjoys playing and has done well going out there independently! Here is to hoping that this will mean increased independence all around!
