What a Special Day! Jon and Austin were Sealed to Us!

My Favorite part was seeing everyone in the Sealing room when I walked in, friends and family!
Jon and Austin talked about their favorite part being when our family stood together in front of the mirrors all in white and you could see us going on forever, never ending. That had to be such a comforting feeling for our two boys who have bounced around among families and homeless shelters for 13 years. They said they can't wait to come back to the Temple when they serve missions. I do have lots of blessings, wonderful children and a fabulous husband!
I love you all!














Celebration following the Sealing!











My Mom and boys suprised us with this beautiful song, "Yours" by Michael Maclean.
It was an absolutely perfect end to a special day.
It brought tears to my eyes and such wonderful feelings of joy.


(I tried to upload the video to my blog and facebook, but it didn't work, so I copied the words for you. Any ideas on how to upload it, help!)
I got it up on Facebook if you want to see the video of them singing! Yea!

What great friends and family we have! We loved having you all there.
Thank you so much for all your love and support and for your time and travel you sacrificed.


Yea! Aunt Rachelle, Aunt Kim and Aunt Satya and their good lookin' husbands!
Thank you Merrills! We love you!



We loved having the Chapmans and Norris' come, what a great support. We love cousins!

Look at these cute little models who had to stop making mud pies and playing house to pose!

My good ol' friend, roomy and crazy sidekick, Collette. I loved having you there!
Love ya like a sis!
It was so nice to have Melissa's family come! and my mom of course!
Our good friends Tammy and Alex, came to support us! Loved the flowers! Thank you!
It was nice to have our wonderful friends, the Broadbents from St. Johns come and enjoy lunch with us following the Sealing. We were very fortunate to have Bro. Jess Broadbent, who is a Patriarch and a Sealer, seal our boys to us. We sure enjoyed the spirit he brought to the room.
My Dad was great company for the Broadbents. They loved him.
