3 years

Today marks our three year anniversary since we've been married. This year has gone so fast and Seth and I were able to experience a lot of things together. One thing that we have been able to do is travel to so many different places, most of the time it was for our business. I feel truly blessed to have been able to do so many amazing things with my best friend. I can't wait for this next year and all the new exciting adventures, a new house? new friends? another baby? Who knows what life may bring us this year. But what matters is that I get to go through everything with Seth and our beautiful son Porter. Thank you Seth for everything. I would do it all over again if I had the chance. I love you!!!

Elite Academy III and Summer So Far...

Seth, Porter and I just got home from a three week trip that was full of meetings, eating, hanging out with friends, swimming, rating, driving to different states and more eating. I really didn't want to come back to KC MO but we are back and trying to stay cool from this awful humidity. Here are a ton of pictures from the last three weeks.






Porter played so hard everyday while we were in Colorado. He was exhausted by the end of the day.

The second week was spent in Utah where I got to meet my new nephew Kingston and we also attended Elite Academy III. It was an awesome trip and one of the most memorable things was seeing my hubby talk in front of over 1,000 people. What an inspiration he was to those who got the opportunity to listen to him.






















Our last day in SLC we went to temple square. I love that place not only because of the sweet spirit I feel while I'm there, but also because Seth proposed to me at the reflection pool. It was cool to be able to be there again now with our son. The pictures of us by the reflection pool is the exact place where he asked me to marry him.

Happy Father's Day

I just wanted to express my love for 3 fathers in my life. First off my dad and one of the greatest people in my life. I feel so lucky to have him as a dad. One of our favorite things to do growing up is dance in the kitchen. He would grab all of his daughters one by one and slow dance with us in the kitchen. He says he was practicing for our wedding. I know it was a little rough for him when I got married but he still is a saint in my life. I think he is the greatest. Everyone loves my dad. There is never a time I go out with him where people are not running up to him and saying hi and giving him a hug. He knows how to talk to people and make them feel comfortable and loved. He has a gift of teaching, no woder he became a teacher. He is always "Teacher of the Year" in my eyes. I will forever look to his council because he has so much wisdom and insight. I know that he has touched the lives of so many people because he has touched mine. I love my papa bear and I think he is the greatest dad.


The second dad I want to share about is my father-in-law. He has welcomed me in his family wholeheartedly. He is a great father and grandfather. Skip has a passion and concern to help people. He has an infectous personality and he is very admired by many especially by Seth. I really am very lucky to have a father in law like him.


Last but not least my sweet husband and father of my child. I really can't put into words the love I have for this man. He is the best father that I could ever ask for for my child. Seth had the chance to be a stay at home dad for about 6 month and him and Porter developed the cutest little bond. I would come home and the house would be torn apart from all the playing they did. I'm so glad that Seth was able to be home with Porter when I was at work. One of his favorite things to do is talk about Porter and our future kids. He is working so hard to give us the opportunity to be together as a family and to raise our kids together. I really can't thank him enough for all he does. Porter is so lucky to have Seth as his dad. Porter's favorite word is daddy and I have no reason to wonder why. We love our daddy and dedicate this day to you.

Catching Up

A couple of weeks ago while Seth's dad was in town we all made the three and a half hour trip over to St. Louis for a meeting. While we were there we went to Chuck E Cheese to give Porter a chance to experiece "where a kid can be a kid." He loved it. Here are some of the pictures from that day.

Easter Weekend

This past weekend was such a great weekend with Seth's parents. On Friday we spent the day getting ready for our big Lifevantage meeting. It was awesome. My super father-in-law Skip rocked it out with a killer meeting and there was a packed room. Speaking of Lifevantage, Seth and I are now a pro 6 in the company. It's a great honor for us and Seth worked so hard to get us there. I'm so proud of him and how hard he is working. Saturday was spent watching as much conference as Porter would allow us. Seth has been telling me for a while how we should go eat at Steak and Shake, so for lunch we went there and it was pretty darn good. Porter loved his meal that we got him. I think we will have to go back there soon. For dinner we went to our friend's Lio and Becky's house and Lio made his famous teriyaki steak and chicken. It was awesome. To finish off the day my mother-in-law Jill and I went to Kohls and spent some money on Seth and Porter. I love shopping for them. Easter Sunday went well. I made my first Easter meal and it turned out pretty good. Before Skip and Jill left we took Porter to his new favorite place, the park. Porter loved it. All in all it was a fabulous weekend. Thanks for making it so great Jill and Skip. We love you and will see you soon.
