A Whole Lotta Summer!

This summer has flown by! It been a summer full of fun and some tears! We have been so busy with life sometimes I feel like we have to stop to catch our breath. To start off my brother and his family came into town for the summer. It was so fun to have them around. My niece Kamryn is so full of life. She is so precious I can't get enough of her.



July was a little rocky for us. To start off we had to put our good old Belle dog down.I didn't think it would be as hard was it was. I seriously loved that Dog! When you have a dog for 16 years they become one of the family.

Then to finish it off I had a miscarriage that through us for a loop!!We have been trying for a year and half so it was kind of a big blow!I know what it like to have broken heart. But through it all I have learned what it means to truely trust in the Lord! I know that he has a plan, it might be different then ours but we have to have faith. I am so thankful for loving families that have encouraged us and been there to lean on their faith. I swear everytime I had a downer moment my brother Joel, my mom, or someone in the family would call us to talk. My husband Bri has been my rock. His strength amazes me and I am so thankful I have him to lean on.He seriously had to pick up the pieces. He is the most amazing hunsband. He has been so patient with my rollercoaster emotions and I love him more than anything! I know the Lord will bless us with a baby when the time is right!! Until then I am doing my best to wait patiently!!
On a more positive note we have has some awesome times too!! We went to California with my family and had a blast! Every other year we go to San Diego and hang out on the beach, go deep sea fishing, watch some baseball games, and do some killer shopping! It has become a family tradition.

I'm Back to the Blogging World

We have a new member of the Taylor family! My brother Joel and his wife Maranda had their first baby in Jan. She is absolutely beautiful! We had the chance to go out to Omaha Nebraska to visit them and meet Baby Kamryn! It was so much fun! It was so neat to see how proud Joel and Maranda are of their precious little one( and she is so precious)! Babies are truely a gift from Heaven and I can't wait till its my turn!
Thanks Joel and Maranda for a great time! Love You guys!
While we were out there we visited the Nebraska temple and the pioneers winter quarters. It was really neat to learn more about the pioneers and the trials they went through. It is amazing what they endured. They had such great faith.

The Proud Grandparents!

Quick Update!

Hey everyone! It has been a while! Here is a little update on the goings in the Cole household( Sorry no Pictures I forgot my camera)! This past conference weekend our whole Rasmussen family when up to Stein Erikson lodge. We had such a blast! We shopped, went swimming, ate non stop, and of course listened to conference. Conference was so wonderful! We are so blessed to have a living prophet on this earth today to lead and guide us. I loved the talks especially the one Pres. Monson gave on focusing on today and not worring about the tomorrow! He helped me to remember to go forward with faith and gratitude. I have been so caught up in the whole worrying about the economy mess and the elections that I seriously give myself anxiety! So Pres. Monson talk gave me great comfort! The Lord truely knows what each of us needs! I am so thankful for my Savior and the blessing the church is in my life!

I recently recieved a new job as a CT Tech in radiology! Yahoo! I am way excited! I start Oct 13! I am a little nervous cause it is such a step up but I know with the Lord's help I can do it. This is what I have been going to school for so this is such a blessing!

Deer Valley

This is kind of a late post but about a month ago our whole family went up to deer valley to spend the weekend. We stayed at Stein Erickson Lodge. Seriously if your ever get the chance to stay there DO IT! It is a beautiful up there and the rooms rock! Everyone up there treats you like royalty! While up there we rode the coaster, went swimming, ate tonz of food, and just hung out! I love hanging with the family!

There is nothing better than being up on top of a mountain having the sun come up and enjoying the fresh air! These are just a few pictures of our outing! Enjoy!

HavisuePie

Back in June we went down to HavisuePie in Arizona. It is the most beautiful oasis is the middle of the Grand Canyon. There was about 65 of us including family and friends! Talk about a party! It is a 9 hour drive down and then a 10 mile hike in. It was so worth it! It might have been the best workout I've had in a long time. There were three waterfalls we visited. Each one was beautiful. We were able to jump off waterfalls, go on the rope swing, swim, and of course hike our buns off! The water is so blue it is amazing.It was really a trip I will never forget! We are planning a trip next yea if any one wants to go!
