PARTY TIME!!!!!

Korver turns 3 on Monday so on Saturday we threw him his party! Korv LOVES to Race. Cars, trucks, 4-wheelers, you name it he will race it. So I though it would only be appropriate to do a Racing themed party for him.
Here is the super cute invite my sister-in-law, Cheri made for me!! She does all of my invites and they always turn out so AMAZING!
 Finally on birthday party # 3 everything turned out just how I pictured it in my head. Here is the set up. Cake candy table and Happy Birthday sign. I could not have done it all with out the help from my sister-in-law, Tiffany. Thanks Tiff:)
 Close up of the sign
 Front view. We put white letters on at first, but then changed to black. It looks so much better with black letters.
 The table. We had red and black licorice, tootsie rolls, sweetish fish, gummy bears, Oreos and red sour patch kids
 Tiff and I spent about 10 min at the store picking out the red sour patch kids:)
 Pyramid of Oreos
 I put 3's on some of the containers and....
 K's on the other half
 The AMAZING cake. Tiffany's Friend Jo Nel, made this super cute cake for me. It turned out better then I had hoped for. Thanks Jo Nel for all the time you spent making this. You are the best.
 Tiff had a great idea to make this framed refueling station. So she made it for me and then I drew a little gas pump coming out of the s:)
 Marshmallows. YUM
 Kor wanted to eat the Oreos so bad. I told him after I got pictures he could have one. The minute this picture was taken he grabbed his Oreo:)
 All the kids gathering for present time
 Korv super excited:)
 I love watching kids open presents.
 They get so excited about everything!!!
 Rip it
 I love his expression, "Um mom open this PLEASE"
 All his amazing gifts. Thank you everyone for all your love and support! Korver is excited to play with everything he got:)
 Now its time to head outside for Mom and Dad's present
 You cant see Korv, but he is under the blanket trying to see what his present is.
 A RAZOR!!!!!!!!!
 You should have seen all the kids flock to this Razor like a kids soccer team flocks to the ball:)
 So happy:) On a ride with Tate
 Cake time
 1...2....3 Make a Wish and.........
BLOW!!!!!!!!  Korver Happy Birthday Buddy!!!!! I hope you know how much Dad and I love you. We are so blessed that we get to have you in our lives. We would do anything for you and hope that you had a fun and memorial birthday. Love ya dude!!!

Thanks again to everyone who came and helped with Korv's party. We love you all so much!

Brooklynn Ae Berg

My amazing sister-in-law, Breana, had her beautiful baby girl last Thursday!


DeLoy, Janene and Tiff were all there when Breana got induced


A little after 1pm Brooklynn was born:)


7 lb 9 oz! One ounce more then Raquel:) Brooklynn and Raquel are going to be best buds I know it:)


Their first family picture:)
Breana had 3 miscarriages before she was able to have her little girl Brooklynn. Breana and Joe are truly some of the strongest people I know! No matter what happened, they always put their faith in Christ and kept going even through those sometimes difficult times. I will ever be changed as I have watched them go through this painful trial and finally after years of fasting and praying, get to hold their sweet miracle baby in their arms!
Joe and Bre, words can not express to you how happy I am, that you get to have your little Brooklynn! You two are an amazing example of how parents should be. Brooklynn is very lucky to have you! I love you both so much!

Spring time

Here are a bunch of random pictures I have taken throughout the week


I seriously can't get enough of this girl:)


Or this little guy:)


The other day I made a bubble fort for Korv, since it was raining outside!


He loved it and stayed in there forever


Raquel liked it too


Two peas in a pod:)


Swimming! Korv had a bubble in his hand but it popped right when I took the picture


On my 9 mile run Friday morning I ran into the "UP" house:)


Raquel all ready for spring


Joseph was watching Raquel on Friday before he left for camping. He came inside without her and when I asked where she was he said "just outside watching me get ready" when I came outside I found her like this. Joseph had propped her up with all his camping gear so she would not fall over. He is such a good dad:)


Korv eating ice cream and watching daddy leave.


On Saturday I went to my moms to help her watch my niece and nephews. We had 6 kids in all. Here they are getting ready to head to the park.


Raquel came too!


Raquel's cute Sunday outfit for church:)

So Grateful

Recently I have been looking back at my life and what I have now and I can truly say how happy and content I am. At this point in my life I am completely satisfied with everything I have and can't think of anything I need or want!


1st-I could not have asked for a more incredible family for me:) I love my family with all my heart and would do anything for any of them! My parents gave us such a fun and memorable childhood! They taught me how to think of others and to always look at the positive in life. I am grateful for parents that are active in the church and taught me the importance of our Savior! I love you so much


2nd-Everyone knows that friends are a HUGE influence in an individuals life. I agree and I would not be where I am today without my amazing Friends!!!! Who make me laugh, laugh even more and laugh so hard I pee my pants:)


Words can not express how much I love my friends for being the best examples and always doing the right thing!!


And for being there for me whenever I need to talk, and need a listening ear:)


Even those friends that I hung out in high school who impacted my life.


Big or small they all played a part in my life some way. Thank You!


3rd-I am so glade that I moved away from home and attended Dixie, where I became apart of a family away from home. I was the Social Chair in the Student Government down there! I learned so many lessons by being apart of this amazing program I am so grateful for:)


4th-Graduating not only from Dixie, but from UVU with my Bachelors in Physical Education was a great accomplishment for me and one I am so glade I did.


5th-Marrying my best friend was one of the best decisions I ever made! Joseph is one of the hardest working people I know and no matter what he does he is very successful at it! Joseph has made me a better person and has taught me so much! I am very blessed that I found a man that served an honorable full time mission and that was worthy to take me to the temple so that I could be sealed to not only him but also my kids!


6th-I am so glade I married into the family I did! I fit into their family so well, besides the fact that I hate onions and tomatoes and they LOVE them:) We are close with all of them and love them all so much!


7th-I was very fortunate to be able to travel with Joseph and live in 7 different states before we started our family:) I love going and seeing new places and hope that as our family grows we will still be able to travel as a family!


8th-My kids!!!!!!!! I can't believe how much joy and happiness these two have brought to me since they were born. Korver is such a sweet loving boy and the best brother to Raquel! Raquel is the best baby and such a little angel. I can't imagine my life without them! They bring a little piece of heaven into our home that I love!


This picture shows everything that I need and have ever wanted! I am so grateful to my Savior for the pouring of blessing he has given to me! I am so happy and content in my life and could not ask for anything better!


All of this could not be possibly without the gospel of Jesus Christ! Words can't even describe how much I love The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! I am so glade I was raised in the Church! I love my Savior with all my heart and am grateful for all he suffered for us so we could live with our Father in Heaven again! I am grateful for all that I have and hope I can be a person the the Savior would be well pleased with!
Love you all!
