National Award

This is written by Megan:

"While in law school every law student is required to write a big ol' paper for their substantial writing class. I read over Ken's before he submitted it and let's just say I only understood every few words and it was over 30 pages long! He spent over 100 hours writing it...in other words this was no easy task! With the suggestion of one of his professors he decided to submit it to a national writing competition to be published. This morning he found out he won first place nationally and will be published in an estate planning type magazine (ACTEC Law Journal) that has about 4 publications a year! I couldn't possible be more proud and happy for him! (because most people don't read or are familiar with estate planning magazines I decided this would be like a fashion photographer being published in Vogue :)

Although we would love to find a job soon and are extremely anxious for that next stage in our lives, we are completely at peace and know it's in the Lord's hands and are not worried about our future. With that said, it's been so hard as a wife to see how hard Kenny has worked and see how well he's done in school just to finish and feel a little defeated because no one is hiring. So I was thrilled that he won this so he could see some of all of that effort pay off for him. Not to mention there was a cash reward that just so happens to be a huge blessing to us right now!!"

We are so extremely happy for Kenny.
What a smart kid he is!

What's Your Guess?

What's Your Guess?
A boy or a girl?

Inside the cupcakes, made by Megan's sister, Kelsey White, is a surprise revealing whether Megan is having a boy or a girl. 

On the count of three, everyone bit into their cupcake - taking very big bites, to see what they would find.
 Hidden inside the cupcake was a pink raspberry. 

Well, it sort of turned brown so we were all a little confused right at first! 

But we were all sure excited when we realized they would be having a girl. 

  All filled out a paper beforehand guessing what she would be having. 

Everyone guess a girl, except for two people. 

 So very happy for them.

Now let's get this baby here!

I do love babies!

This darling baby belongs to my niece,

Lacey Lyman.

She was a dream to photograph!

Following the Prophet

Trent and Sesily ordered three 16 x 24 canvas prints to hang

in each of the kids bedrooms in their home.

Pres. Monson said in last conference that a picture of the

temple should be in each room in our homes.

I keep thinking I should put this up on facebook and sell them

for a minimal cost, so people can afford to have them in each room.

I haven't done that yet.

I'm not much of a salesman!

Celebrating Jex

We had a delightful luncheon for Sesily and Jexton just for the familee.

Lana and Megan were in town. We missed the others who had summer conflicts.

I centered the decorations and food around 'green apples'.

Green apple candy in the small boxes on the table,

fruit skewers on green apples,

green apple salad,

and apple pie!

I love doing the decorations!

The food, hummm...

not so much!

Aren't I lucky I have girls in my familee who do like to do the food!

He is loved!

These are sweet images of Jexton and his familee

(well, without Trent!)

Beautiful!
