Tyson's baptism

Last Saturday we had the opportunity to attend the baptism of a very special boy...our sweet Tyson! It was a beautiful service, with his Grandma Tate speaking about baptism, Haylee and Tanner speaking about the Holy Ghost, and all his cousins singing "I am a Child of God." He was baptized by Dave and told him later that he knew he was doing the right thing because it felt right in his heart. He said that he was so excited to promise Jesus that he would always follow Him.

Life is all about precious moments when everything falls into place if even for but a moment.

I love you, Tyson, and am so proud of you!

OH MAMA x 3

Have you ever heard the saying that "Good things come in threes?" Well, I spent Mother's Day in the hospital from hyperemesis and dehydration and the next morning my doctor ordered an ultrasound to see if he could get more insight into what's going on with me and make sure everything was okay with the baby, and, well, WE'RE HAVING TRIPLETS! Yes, it's true, somehow I conceived triplets without the help of modern fertility treatments or anything like that. Needless to say, we are a little overwhelmed and reeling from this news. We were a little apprehensive about adding a fifth to our bunch, but now we are throwing caution to the wind and surrendering to what must absolutely be the Lord's will for our family! My due date is Dec. 12, but average gestation for triplets is 33 weeks, so our babies will probably arrive sometime in October.

We are completely overwhelmed that the Lord has this much faith in us, but know we could never do this alone, and our families have pledged their support. My parents have even decided to postpone their mission for a couple of years! Now if I can just get feeling better...

GUESS WHAT?! I've been REALLY sick lately. In the hospital sick. They say it should only last for a few more weeks, though, so I'm hanging in there. The kids were starting to worry, so we let them in on a little secret. Now we're letting all of you in on it...
