Evan will be sealed

to us

December 27th, 2008!

In the Mount Timpanogas Temple. I can't wait to see all my girls dressed in white again. Evan is going to where a little white tux. He is going to look like a little angel. I am so thankful to my Father in Heaven for this little blessing of Eternal Families. I have been waiting for this day for a very long time. Adoptions are great but eternal families are even better. Five years ago I never thought that my hubby and I would be sealing our fourth child to us. I cherish every moment that I get with my children. They are truly children of our Father in Heaven. Strong, Independent, and strong willed is how I describe this rising generation. I hope a pray that I can be the mother they need me to be. I know God will help me as long as I continue to pray to him for guidance.

Evan is an awesome addition to our family and I am so glad we made the decision to adopt another child two years ago. Everyone thought I was insane at the time. Taking on 3 children at the same age was tough enough add one more and you have the crazy lady syndrome. Well it is working out fine and we enjoy our little boy. Evan has such a cute personally that lights up the room when he walks in. His funny laughs and obsession with trucks and cars is really entertaining. Evan is my little piece of Heaven! (I know, it's a very lame saying).

Snow Day in Adelanto

It never snows in Adelanto but today it did. It dumped and is still dumping 15 Inches of snow. I do not own a snow shovel nor snow boots so traveling is really a challenge. In one picture you can see that my van is stuck! Yep Stuck! Can't dig it out because I have no shovel. OH Well! The girls had school today and yes I sent them to school. What a stupid idea. They ended up sending them home at 12:30. Tomorrow they get the day off. HURRAY FOR ME!!!!!

I feel like I am in SLC again. UGH! Except it is worse because I am not prepared for this kind of weather. Snow is kind of cool to look at but I don't like the way it makes us all cold and wet. Jasmine was screaming that her fingers were going to fall off her hand. She is so dramatic. Anyway the snow is better to look at than the dry ugly dessert that we look at everyday. Enjoy the pics because it will all be gone in two days.

I do hope we have a white Christmas next week that would be fun and exciting don't you think?

Giving Thanks!

We were able to have Thanksgiving for the very first time at our house. We usually travel to my parents home in Salt Lake City for the big Turkey dinner, but not this year. Thanks to the big event of Evan's adoption my parents and my brothers family came to visit. We enjoyed entertaining for once. The Turkey turned out great due to all the butter my brother made me stuff in between the skin and meat before cooking. It is always fun to get together with family. I look forward to the next holiday "CHRISTMAS"

Adoption Day!

IT"S OFFICIAL!

As of November 26th, 2008 we are finally the official parents of Evan Scott Wheeler. I can't believe that this is our fourth child in five years that we have had the pleasure of adopting. My dreams of being a mother has been fulfilled in every since of the word. I love each and everyone of these children and I pray everyday that I can be the mother they deserve. I am so happy! God has answered my prayers. I look forward to watching my children grow and learn new and exciting things. I fear for them, this world is going to hell in a hand bag quick, but this generation of children that we are raising are strong and they will win the fight against the evils of the world.

Adoption has been a wild but rewarding experience. Children need us and we need them to keep us humble. I am so lucky to have such wonderful, loving, beautiful children. I love you all!
