Life has been super busy and I haven't gotten around to it. Last Saturday however I had a really great experience that I wanted to share with you guys. I'm not making any promises to be a better blogger but we'll see.<br />
<br />
As background to this story I must tell you that I live in a little town called Enterprise in Southern Utah. It is pretty remote and has 1 grocery market, 1 hardware store, a post office, a bank and a gas station and that's about it.....really.... So in order to do any major shopping for groceries or anything else we have to drive to St George or Cedar City which are both about 45 minutes away. Since it's a trip to get there and back I usually set aside one day every 1-2 weeks to do my shopping and call that good. Needless to say an almost 2 year old doesn't always handle an entire day of shopping very well (and neither does his mommy) but we love living in Enterprise and Blake loves farming so we make it work.<br />
<br />
Well Saturday morning was my morning to go to St George to shop. The night before I had been with the youth in our stake at youth conference and didn't get home til late. Nathan and Blake were up eating Trix and having a jolly old time when I got home so Nathan was a little sleepy the next morning (but lots of work was done around the house/yard and they had a great time so I'm not complaining). We headed to St George and made our first stop at Walmart. Nathan was an angel. He was pleasant and talking to every person we passed. As I was loading my purchases into the car I even had the gall to think to myself, "man, that was such a pleasant Walmart trip with Nathan. Today will be a great shopping day." Maybe what followed was payback for speaking too soon or just a lesson in humility for me. We stopped to get lunch and then made our way to Costco. Nathan was a little grouchy as it neared his usual naptime and he refused to get into the cart. He wouldn't really even help me push the cart which is usually my saving grace when he won't sit in the cart. He just wanted to run down the aisles and grab things off the shelf. I was trying to be really patient and just get in and out as fast as I could. We had gathered about half of the items we needed when Nathan saw something he thought was pretty awesome. Towards the back of the store there was a huge playground set up high on the top shelf and right next to it but on ground level there was a playhouse. He ran inside and decided he just didn't want to get out. I leaned over and tried to convince him that it was time to go. We had a party we needed to get back to Enterprise for and then we had to join the youth once again for youth conference that night so we were in a bit of a hurry. Well Nathan came out and made a run for it. He kept running around and around this little play aisle laughing hysterically that his mommy couldn't catch him. I've learned that the more pregnant I get (I'm almost 37 weeks) the faster he gets and that does not make a great combination at Costco with a thousand people on a Saturday morning. I finally caught him and tried to carry him back to the cart. Well, he lost it. TOTAL MELTDOWN ensued. He screamed the loudest, highest scream I have ever heard come from his sweet little mouth and honestly the 10 closest people to me stopped in their tracks to see what was going on. I tried everything I could to get him to calm down but nothing worked. At one point I put him back in the cart and he stood up and jumped. Luckily I caught him but I was so overwhelmed that I knelt down on the ground and just let him cry. He was inconsolable at this point and I wondered how we would ever make it out of there alive. As I was kneeling I kept thinking to myself, "am I honestly going to have another baby in 4 weeks? I can't even handle this one." Some people looked at me kindly like they just felt sorry for me while others were a little less kind in their "who let you be a parent" glares. I just kept praying that Nathan would calm down and that we could just make it out of the store. I picked him up (still crying mind you) and just held him while I pushed the cart. Really picture this....a huge pregnant woman carrying her screaming toddler pushing 2 weeks worth of bulk groceries (we Enterprise-ites have to stock up) with a small steady stream of tears rolling down MY face. I was humiliated. I started walking to the front of the store when a lady (probably late 20's/early 30's) came up behind me and asked, "can I help you?" I just started to BAWL (yes like a baby....right in the middle of Costco). I couldn't even speak. I was so overwhelmed at what was happening. She took my cart and said, "I've got 4 kids of my own and I understand. Luckily today they're not with me so I just really want to help you." She asked me if I was done and all I could say was, "well not really but for today...yes." She then proceeded to walk me to the checkout stand, unload all of my groceries and wait with me while I paid for them. Her husband came up and talked to Nathan and kept him occupied while I paid for groceries. She then WALKED ME TO MY CAR and unloaded all of my groceries and made sure we were okay. I never stopped crying...first I was overwhelmed and then I was just so grateful that she had helped me and that she was so nice to me. She talked to me as if we were old friends and just kept saying, "it happens to the best of us ya know. It's happened to me and people have helped and I just want to pay it forward." She truly was a tender mercy for me that day and I know that Heavenly Father really answered my prayers...not necessarily in the way I thought He would but in an even better way that taught me so much.<br />
<br />
I just wanted to share that story with you guys because it really meant a lot to me and I hope that I can be just like that kind soul who helped me in Costco. She will never really know how grateful I was that she helped me. I may never go back to Costco again until I'm an empty nester but I was truly reminded of how many good and kind people there are in this world that is becoming increasingly scary.<br />
<br />
Just so you didn't read that whole story for nothing here are some fun pics of Nathan.<br />

Well it was time! One day at church we had three people confuse Nathan for a girl because of his luscious curly locks...SO... we whisked him home after church and cut them all off. Yes it was rash and yes I did feel like a little piece of my heart fall to the ground with all his curls but yes it is WONDERFUL to not have to say, "he's actually a boy, thank you very much!"</div>

My parents are on a mission now so I wanted to show them what Nathan is up to. He took his first steps last Saturday, August 4th. He will only take a few steps at a time but it so fun and cute to watch him learn this new skill! This video shows his many attempts. I'm sure he thinks to himself, "why does my crazy mommy keep moving me back over and over again???" The last one in this video is his best one though...so that's why! Oh and don't mind the box on my head....Nathan will work for what he wants and it happened to be the box...Heather.Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427573187587315015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1366234407427538020.post-65746710560717848672012-08-04T09:36:00.002-07:002012-08-04T09:42:43.086-07:00We love you Emmitt!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBj06F0zQYRKC_fbZDMPP-j4iIEijHPEuKpulr5Nxyz7V91kPEWBu7kujLxnYpwOvOYMSZAU4p5Tsqwvlh1XfeVhUS90x1nXCyoAFaMRXSHxeZZDpAhqZl_26jiHPE8xvt5xmN4mbU6uI/s1600/IMG_1269.JPG" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBj06F0zQYRKC_fbZDMPP-j4iIEijHPEuKpulr5Nxyz7V91kPEWBu7kujLxnYpwOvOYMSZAU4p5Tsqwvlh1XfeVhUS90x1nXCyoAFaMRXSHxeZZDpAhqZl_26jiHPE8xvt5xmN4mbU6uI/s320/IMG_1269.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5772858197006492594" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">We love you baby Emmitt and are praying our little hearts out for you!

I have been a slacker with these so the first is a sad excuse for his 9 month picture. It was taken during the pregame warmup of the Jimmer game we went to in LA with some of Blake's family. It happened the day before Nathan turned 9 months.<br />

So to catch up on our last few months: We went to California to see Jimmer play in April, spread hand-foot-and-mouth disease to lots of our cousins, moved into our first house, spent a week with my family in Vegas, saw all of Blake's family for Ashla's wedding, started hanging out with our ward's 12-13 year olds (I'm in Beehives and Blake's their Sunday School teacher), spent a week in Idaho Falls with my family, and went to Salt Lake for April's sealing last Saturday. Whoa has it been crazy around here.<br />
<br />
Nathan is doing great too. I can't believe that he is almost a year old!! He is a mad and speedy crawler. He has two teeth and is currently working on his third (yay). He loves to eat though we're a bit limited cause he has some allergies (mainly anything dairy). He loves to pull himself up to anything and everything. He is a sweetheart and he makes us laugh every day! We sure do love him!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well I didn't ask and didn't notice any signs of a cat until we noticed that George (who helped us move the couches) was covered in white cat hair....grody (plus Nathan is allergic to cats also)! So I spent all afternoon and night yesterday vacuuming every square inch of those couches...then Blake got home and steam cleaned every square inch of those couches. I told myself that it was the WORST job in the world and then I was totally humbled....first Nathan went to the bathroom in the tub (gross). Then while I was cleaning it up he licked the toilet and then when I was doing the dishes I noticed how quiet he was being and found him under the counter playing in his own throw-up. a.w.e.s.o.m.e. </div>

Blake spent most of the time going to classes while Nathan and I had a great time relaxing, swimming and exploring the area. Nathan went swimming for his first time and really loved it. You can't really tell from all the pictures how much fun he had but he was kicking his little legs and flirting with all the girls at the pool. He also loved drinking the water (much to my dismay). He kept flinging his face into the water and lapping up water with his tongue.

Well I thought she just wanted to hold him but before I knew it she just stood up and walked out of the room with him.

He is a great little eater and sleeper. He is rolling all over the place, sitting up like a pro and just gabbing away all day. He loves to sing along with his mom and dad. He is such a laugher. Sometimes he just laughs out of nowhere when he's all alone in the next room. It is so much fun to have him around. </div><div><br /></div><div>To update you on our living situation....we are still in Blake's childhood home. We are currently doing some home improvements to the house we bought. Blake's taking out all the hardware to make the painter's job easier (and cheaper too). I have been tearing out wallpaper and closet liners (which is actually incredibly therapeutic and fun). We're ordering carpet this week. Our estimated move-in week is the 2nd week of March. All in all we have loved living in Enterprise. Blake's brother Jared keeps telling me that I'm warming up to Utah more and more every time I see him and it's so true. I miss being by my family but I am really enjoying being by Blake's family. They are wonderful and make living in Enterprise great. I feel like Enterprise is the right place for us to be. There are so many kind people here and I'm grateful my kids will get to be surrounded by such great people.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div>Heather.Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427573187587315015noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1366234407427538020.post-40824466538691046152011-12-29T15:29:00.000-08:002011-12-29T16:47:33.303-08:00Merry Christmas<div style="text-align: center;">Happy Holidays everyone!!

That's right...we have made the move down south. This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Batt fam in Idaho Falls and then the next week we packed up our apartment in Chubbuck and moved to Enterprise, UT where we will be permanently residing now. We moved into the house that Blake grew up in. We are grateful to have a place to live and this house is full of a lot of wonderful memories. On December 1st Blake and I bought our very first home and we are very excited about it. We should be moving into it sometime next year. </div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQub4U75rvbdrmVQlSdhMODjIkENJqGfY7UcP_0sHKxrU_iDaWOoar4b5bDpXrEbzQj6YRchrU_U-dBWmxMnOZQcQqAcoho-CBjCEDZFM2Vv-eVYkVdsAew3g86qr0WaYnlnB1-LJkwM/s1600/IMG_0513.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQub4U75rvbdrmVQlSdhMODjIkENJqGfY7UcP_0sHKxrU_iDaWOoar4b5bDpXrEbzQj6YRchrU_U-dBWmxMnOZQcQqAcoho-CBjCEDZFM2Vv-eVYkVdsAew3g86qr0WaYnlnB1-LJkwM/s320/IMG_0513.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684162844092088946" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;">The Batt grandkids on Thanksgiving (minus William and Emma)</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_GDMcyxLAX8Yx5UoIuXHmvYIOGK0ewxBj6_1QNsByIuRL-tGIibUMcknLuj8AGkwe6mnRHLUrlaSlXcWNq2hPwHrkaF1JC_aF90tuUZGhDi5uDfOTDt8qlE-04KFOwIMjooK7LRDhaFY/s1600/IMG_0523.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_GDMcyxLAX8Yx5UoIuXHmvYIOGK0ewxBj6_1QNsByIuRL-tGIibUMcknLuj8AGkwe6mnRHLUrlaSlXcWNq2hPwHrkaF1JC_aF90tuUZGhDi5uDfOTDt8qlE-04KFOwIMjooK7LRDhaFY/s320/IMG_0523.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684162353788328994" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">During Thanksgiving break we got to see our dear friends Caitlin and Trent and their cute boy Ethan!

Hello everyone! Long time - no blog! These past few months have been busy ones. On July 31st we blessed Nathan in our Provo ward. We felt so grateful to have so much support from both sides of the family.<br />

In August we went to both family reunions and had a blast!! We went to Enterprise with the Holts. It was so much fun to see everyone and catch up. On August 6th Dad Holt and Marge got married and we were grateful to be there for that special occasion. The next week Blake finished up his last finals at BYU and then we headed to Red Fish Lake in Stanley, Idaho for the Batt family trip. Red Fish is one of my favorite places. It is beautiful and so much fun. Just to give you an idea of the fun we had here is a picture of some of the brothers playing in the sand:</div>

After both family reunions we packed up and moved to Chubbuck, Idaho. Blake is doing an internship with Agribeef which is a part of Snake River Cattle in American Falls. We live about 45 minutes away from my family so it has been really nice to spend a lot of time with them. When we first moved to our apartment we had a bit of a hobo (the spider not the person) infestation. The first morning I killed 5 spiders and every time I'd go into a different room I'd see a brand new big spider. It was awful. I was nervous that Nathan would get a deadly hobo spider bite so I put his play mat on top of some of our unpacked boxes to keep him above ground level. Looking back now I see that I was probably a bit over paranoid but it seemed so logical at the time. Anyway, we had pest control spray our apartment and then I felt a lot better and he now can lay on a blanket on the ground like a normal child. <div>

Last Saturday Nathan turned 3 months old. He is growing up so fast and learning so many new things. He smiles all the time and with a bit of work he will laugh and give a high pitched squeal of delight. We feel so blessed to have him and love him so much.</div>

Our little guy turned 2 months old last week and he is getting so big. He had his 2 month check up today and he is doing great! He weighs 14 lbs 5 oz (94th percentile) and he is 24 3/4 inches long (95th percentile).<br />
<br />
We are doing well here in Chubbuck, Idaho. Blake's enjoying his internship with Snake River Farms and I am loving staying home with Nathan. Our ward is really great and it has been fun to live so close to my family. I am working on a post with the happenings as of late and I will post it soon!!Heather.Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427573187587315015noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1366234407427538020.post-12141266837596205322011-07-18T17:30:00.000-07:002011-07-18T18:17:42.864-07:00Introducing...<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >NATHAN ADAMS HOLT</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMj7SEIlMocj3SVh9oTSzW2H9Aey-JxbcAQp0AE_EKONjGPs7rnSM2cldH2wGeoud5VAknonxBWq06Q1FLFADJlAYvQoJdy04zdV3y_hqfMfak6w5aQtbSQ2Ks5AYZf_JdW7FBf7gCXWY/s1600/IMG_0726.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMj7SEIlMocj3SVh9oTSzW2H9Aey-JxbcAQp0AE_EKONjGPs7rnSM2cldH2wGeoud5VAknonxBWq06Q1FLFADJlAYvQoJdy04zdV3y_hqfMfak6w5aQtbSQ2Ks5AYZf_JdW7FBf7gCXWY/s320/IMG_0726.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630856449509063026" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >(Nathan's first day home from the hospital: 6 days old)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Nathan was born on Friday, July 8th at 1:07 pm.

The pregnancy is still going really well (other than my aforementioned cankles). This baby is enjoying being inside so I don't think he's in any hurry to get out. I'm 38 weeks and 1 day so we've got 13 days until our little guy is due to make his grand appearance. Blake just finished his finals for the spring term. He will start classes for the summer term next week and then in August he will be done....woohoo! I'm still working for the next little bit while they work on getting my replacement hired. So I guess everything is going well and probably the next time I post something it'll be to announce our new baby. </span></span></div><br /></td></tr><tr valign="top" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 1.25em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><td colspan="2" style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 1.25em; "> </td></tr><tr valign="top" class="tr5" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 1.25em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><td colspan="2" class="td5" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 1.25em; "><span id="hotword" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 1.25em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; position: static; "><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div>Heather.Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427573187587315015noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1366234407427538020.post-11443474051588894762011-05-21T20:10:00.000-07:002011-05-21T20:14:31.645-07:00Just for Fun!<div>Just thought I'd share our favorite commercial these days.

You are SO disappointed because that bowl of spaghetti you just ate did not taste like root beer.</div><div>2. You make deviled eggs at 10:00 at night (after you run to the store for needed ingredients) only to find out that you don't really like deviled eggs and the thought of eating the 12 you just made repulses you.</div><div>3. You can't wait to wash all those baby clothes and on top of that you are thrilled when the clothes are dry so you can FOLD them and put them away!</div><div>4. You call clients at work to remind them of their appointment and you get distracted by thinking about how their first name would sound with your last name (still no name yet). </div><div>5. You cry at the drop of a hat (this is an obvious one)...not at regular sad things but at ridiculous things such as little kids (some you know....some you've never seen before) bumping their heads in church. </div><div>6. Random people touch your stomach as if it is public property. Some even talk to your stomach. Family and friends...great but strangers....really?</div><div>7. You think about how you (and your spouse) behaved as children and shudder when you start to imagine what great attribute or behavior your child will have to pay you back and in so doing even out the universe. </div><div><br /></div><div>This is just to name a few of the little quirks that come with being pregnant. So I haven't blogged in awhile because let's be honest....I just don't have all that much to say. Things are going well. Blake is starting finals this weekend and will be walking on April 22. He won't be done with school until August but will walk in April to avoid missing a few reunions in August. I am still working at Wasatch Mental Health and enjoying it there. We're just getting ready for our little guy to come in about 2 and 1/2 months but other than that life is pretty much the same for us these days. Hope you're all doing well!</div>Heather.Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427573187587315015noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1366234407427538020.post-53334037062317914052011-03-18T07:40:00.000-07:002011-03-18T07:42:10.140-07:00Goodbyes<div><br /></div><div>There comes a time in all of our lives when we are forced to say goodbye to the people we love the most. Well in the past three months Blake and I have said two different sad goodbyes. </div><div><br /></div><div>The first goodbye came January 1st when Blake's dear mother was killed in a car accident. </div>JoAnn Twitchell Holt was a beautiful and strong woman. She lived such a Christlike life in every way. She was the mother of 14 wonderful children. She had unwavering faith and courage to do what is right. She took everyone under her wing and always supported the underdog. She was a selfless woman who sacrificed so much for her children and grandchildren. We love her so much and are so grateful for our understanding of the plan of salvation that allows us to see our dear mother again. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe4hJSPC80y_TQRU9RCjVgr15odt6sXwg38FS49sE5Ya8wfrThOGtu0gHl3D5cR-MJqXW0F34fc2axYCFSQ3qEwHJt_0xbLls7n2EJeQU6cKbqHey0vQhVEc6GYXVBIcF_O2iw7UkAwXQ/s1600/IMG_0497.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe4hJSPC80y_TQRU9RCjVgr15odt6sXwg38FS49sE5Ya8wfrThOGtu0gHl3D5cR-MJqXW0F34fc2axYCFSQ3qEwHJt_0xbLls7n2EJeQU6cKbqHey0vQhVEc6GYXVBIcF_O2iw7UkAwXQ/s320/IMG_0497.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585423026401689010" /></a><div><br /></div><div>The second goodbye came March 7th when my 99 year old grandma died in Idaho Falls. She was 3 months short of her 100th birthday. </div><div><div>Beulah Memmott Clayson was a shining example to all who knew her. She was kind and loving and served others with all her heart. She was a wonderful grandma and will be missed so dearly. She served the perfect Thanksgiving and Easter dinners complete with her best china, crystal glasses and silverware (real silver). She always worked so hard and sacrificed everything for her children and grandchildren. She was the best story teller. She would tell us Christmas stories verbatim from memory. She was a delight to be with and I have so many wonderful memories of her and grandpa.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFzFu0Ja0dilyi5PqT3pz_TuLAQUR01Gz4hiXnmveltE8gTlc70Vx67DSbb4ziap2Bwd5eQVx-fqEXc83cMWAlyuBrkHxUCyZ6KCoTrobqm4qCzmJ4B8qjJobpOsBcG6ycvFRV8CFekh0/s1600/Holt_0282.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFzFu0Ja0dilyi5PqT3pz_TuLAQUR01Gz4hiXnmveltE8gTlc70Vx67DSbb4ziap2Bwd5eQVx-fqEXc83cMWAlyuBrkHxUCyZ6KCoTrobqm4qCzmJ4B8qjJobpOsBcG6ycvFRV8CFekh0/s320/Holt_0282.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581393083497109186" /></a></div></div><div>These two beautiful women will forever hold a special place in our hearts. They have taught us so many important lessons. As Blake and I have talked about our upcoming roles of being parents we feel so greatly blessed to have had such wonderful parents and grandparents to teach us how to sacrifice everything and give all you are for your children and grandchildren. Life will not be the same without both of these women but I know that both of them would want more than anything for us to move forward in faith. </div>Heather.Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427573187587315015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1366234407427538020.post-59944389572733971172011-02-28T08:50:00.000-08:002011-02-28T09:01:51.976-08:00Garden Cottage Bed and Breakfast<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Last summer I had the wonderful opportunity to work at The Garden Cottage Bed and Breakfast in Cedar City, Utah.
