Crowe's Nest Farm

On Wednesday we went with our playgroup to Crowe's Nest Farm. It was about 45 minutes away. The kids had a great time running around looking at the animals!

Jazlynn by the tractor tire.

The girls were very excited about the ostriches.

Everyone listening and watching as the cow gets milked.


It is so great to have such good friends.

For your information this cow is NOT a Holstein like the sign says.







Everyone waiting for the tour to start!











Trip to Salt Lake

So we left on Monday night at 1:00 a.m. and drove 20 hours straight until we got to Salt Lake. The kids did so well- we were so proud of them! Jared had the opportunity to speak at his Grandpa's funeral as well as be a pall bearer and I know he was honored to do both of these things. We stayed there for a week and then hit the road again. It was such a blessing to be with all of the family and especially Grandma through a tough time.


Jared with his brothers Ben and Mark. Mark flew in from Germany and we hadn't seen him in a year so it was great to see him. Ben is moving to Austin in November!!



Jared says, "Where is Jazzy?" and she says, "Here I am Daddy!" This was taken at a farm we went to after the funeral with some of the family.

In Loving Memory of Grandpa!


The past 2 weeks have been pretty much a blur. On Sunday, October 19 we got the news that Jared's Grandfather, Harley E. Workman had passed away at the age of 90. Grandpa was a humorous, loving, strong, caring and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather (he has 56 great grandchildren). Our children called him "old papa" and he was honored by it and said, "I have earned that name!" He and Grandma were the prime example of a loving couple who would do anything for each other and were completely in love. We are truly blessed to have him in our family and he will be missed. His death has brought the teachings of our church into perspective. Because of the covenants we make in the temple we know that we will live with Grandpa Harley again. This is the greatest blessing. We love you Grandpa "Old Papa", you will forever be in our hearts.

Happy 2nd Birthday Jazlynn!

Well... Today Jazlynn turns 2! It seems like our little girl has always been older than she actually is. She crawled early and she walked early, she talked early and she never ceases to amaze us! It can be said that she is the funniest of all our kids and she always makes us laugh. Jazlynn has been such a spirited addition to our family and we love her so much! Here are some pictures of her throughout her 2 years!

Jazlynn is wearing her birthday dress that my mom sent from California. She loves it and tells everyone "It's my birthday!"

This was taken recently, it is amazing how much she is starting to look like Janae.

Jazlynn's birth announcement picture- she held her head up well from the start!
Last year at Halloween she was a ladybug- she loves to dress up!

A couple months old she was only chubby for about 2 weeks of her whole life!

I love that Jazlynn got my brown eyes- otherwise she would look just like her daddy.

Jazlynn loves to eat but is SUCH A MESSY EATER!


This is us meeting for the first time, she was so little but so cute- it was love at first sight!
