Swimming in Winter

Sierra and Robbie started swim classes this month. A little crazy at the start of winter I know, but we have an indoor pool here at our gym, and that's how ya gotta do things here in Idaho!
Robbie is learning the different strokes of swimming

In two weeks Robbie's confidence in the water has really increased. The first day of swimming he didn't want to get in because he said it was to deep. So with encouragement and a hand to hold he is now swimming the length of the pool with only the help of his water noodle.

Sierra has also improved in just the past two weeks. Both Robbie and Sierra are in the beginners level swimming but Sierra is just a step head of Robbie. While Robbie is learning strokes and holding his breath under water, Sierra is putting those both to practice!


They both look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays because they know that's the days they get to go swimming came rain or shine or in my case snow or ice!

Families Can be Together Forever!

It's FINALLY official! Angie and Ean Harker are now two proud parents of 6 kids! The adoption for Samantha, Timmy, Josh and Diane was completed in August. They drove to Idaho Falls to then have their whole family sealed together forever! We are so happy to have these kids as part of our family. We love them and can't wait until we get to play with our cousins again!

How spectacular is this! The perfect heart cloud positioned right over the Idaho Falls Temple. Very fitting since the Harkers were all just sealed together as a family for eternity!

After the sealing was performed I had to run out to nurse Remington. My sister April was so awesome for watching our kids so that both Rob and I could be in attendance for this special occasion.

My son Robbie picked me a small bouquet of flowers from the temple grounds. Very sweet boy, but not sure it's o.k. to pick the flowers there!

Remington's Blessing Day

Remington Ammon Warth received his name and a blessing the first Sunday in August. He was wide awake for it and never made a peep. It's just like Remington to not want to sleep through a social event! Just as well, this was his day! Remington's blessing outfit was very special in the fact that it had belonged to Rob, and was the same exact outfit he was blessed in as a baby.

Following the blessing we had a luncheon at our place. Barbara Woods made this awesome fruit basket to go along with the potato bar.

Ambur, Ozden and Jayla also came to support us in this occasion for Remington

Rob and I feel so blessed to have been entrusted with another one of our Heavenly Fathers sweet spirits. We love Remington so much and we know he has so much potential to excel while in this life. We pray that as his parents we can do our very best to teach him everything he needs to be truly happy. We are grateful to everyone who supported us by attending his blessing and thank you for the roles you play in our lives. Pooped out after a full day of visitors!

Can't believe a day at school can totally wipe my kids out

Sierra starts 1st grade

Sierra has been excited for his day for at least 2 weeks. We have been going to bed early for the past week to help get into the routine for school. Sierra had her clothes picked and laid out the night before. She said she is most nervous about not knowing anyone and having to go to school for a full day.Sierra sitting at her school desk

Sierra and her !st grade teacher Miss Clark

I surprised Sierra by bringing in her favorite lunch. Two Bacon Cheese Burgers and a small fry from Wendy's!

After her first full day of school, Sierra is totally wiped out! She fell asleep on the way home from school. She came home totally positive about school and really seemed to like her new teacher. She said that she even knew some of the kids in her class from the previous year.
