Grandma Vesta's 90th Birthday Party

These are my 3 older brothers and older sister

R to L: Jared, Stacey, Aaron, Heather, and Brian

My Grandma, her boyfriend, Howard, and all of my grandma's grandchildren, except Scot who was in Thailand.

This picture is my entire family... my mom and dad are the two in the middle of the couch and they are both sitting next to their spouses. There are 14 grandchildren with 1 on the way (my sister-in-law Dana is due next fall). My mom was really excited about getting an updated picture.

This is my Grandma with all of her great-grandchildren. There are 21 and only 4 are boys!

This was all of my Grandma's descendants. She loved her party, it was a fun time. She is so full of life and energy... I hope I will be like that when I am her age!

We all went home to Washington the first week of February to celebrate my Grandmother's 90th birthday. I was really thankful Jeff was able to come with me and it was great to be able to spend the time with all of my family together. We hadn't all been together in one place since 10 years ago, my senior year of high school. It was so fun to see all of the cousins playing together. It went by very fast, but I am grateful for the memories made there.

Our Testimony

Jeff and I are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and we wanted to share how grateful we are for that blessing. We believe the Book of Mormon and the Bible are the word of God and we learn so much as we read from them. We know that families can be together forever, even after death, if we choose to make that covenant with God in his holy temple. We believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and was led by God to restore the truth on the earth. He went through so much persecution and dedicated his life so that we could have the Gospel of Christ today. We also believe President Monson to be our prophet today, we believe he communicates with God and leads us to live good lives so we can return to live with our father in heaven once again. The more we pray, read the scriptures, and learn about the gospel, the more we feel the holy spirit in our lives. As we do these things we can see our lives and our marriage being blessed and our happiness increased. We know we have made so many mistakes in each of our lives respectively and we are so amazed that our savior Jesus Christ can help us to be forgiven for those things. We love the joy and happiness that the gospel of christ brings us everyday. Jeff even dedicated two years of his life to sharing that truth because he believes in it so much and wanted to bring other people that happiness. I am so thankful that he made that sacrifice because I can see the blessings that came from it. We are not posting this to try to force our views on anyone, we just wanted to let everyone know how thankful we are for the Lord's blessings and for his guidance in our lives. We have also been so blessed with amazing family and friends to give us support and love along our way. Thank you being there for us and thank you for letting us share our love of Christ and our testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
