10th Anniversary

Well Hyrum, I have tricked you into staying married with me for 10 years now. I never thought you would put up with me this long!

Thank you for showing me the beauty of a good hike. Thank you for supporting me through all my craziness trying to figure out how to be a good mom and wife. Thank you for being so willing to show our boys how things work and letting them help you fix things when I know you could do it faster on your own. Thank you for reading to our children each night and teaching them to love books. Thank you for holding my hand when we go for walks. Thank you for all the yummy meals you have cooked. Thank you for loving me and your boys.

And thank you for waking up early this morning so you could pick me white lilacs and have them on the table for me when I woke up...you are the love of my life!



I love this photo of us


The years we spent in Missouri for medical school were some of the most wonderful years of our marriage.


Happy Day!!! May 1, 1999
I remember my cheeks hurting by the end of the day because I was so happy and I couldn't stop smiling.


Our honeymoon in Australia, good times


You have a wild natural side to you that I love


Hiking in Utah


The last picture of just the two of us before we brought those crazy twins home. I'm so glad we had 5 years of alone time together.

I loved you then and I love you now.

Yours always, Miss Elle

  2. I don't think Hyrum is the only one with a wild side--I have seen Rachelle drive when the boys are crying.
    I am wondering if Hyrum will grow his hair out again after he is done with the military.

  7. What a wonderful and happy story to have read. I am so happy that you and Hyrum found each other and live such a wonderful life. It truly is an amazing feat.
    I love hearing about your family and how amazing they are.
    I must admit, I am a bit jealous, but at this point in life I have my hands full with OTHER PEOPLE'S children!

    Love you you happy crazy- 'happily - ever- after' girl.
