Trent's Baptism!!!

2010-09-29T19:34:00.000-07:00

Trent and I with Ross and Clarissa!

Yes I was crying before anything even started! :)
Trent and the Elders!

Ah so cute!!

Dad and Trent!

Trent and I and baby Ryder.....who is almost here!!! :)

So for those of you who didn't know Trent was baptized September 4th!

He has been learning about the church for awhile and started reallly looking

into it in January.

This was the most amazing spiritual day of my life so far! When I went to check on Trent

when he was changing into his baptism clothes and I saw him all dressed in white I couldn't hold back the tears! He looked so calm and peaceful! He amazes me to this day with his simple yet strong testimony. The baptism itself was amazing. I know that I never understood what getting baptized really meant until I saw Trent come out of the water in tears and hugging Dad. There wasn't a dry eye in the whole church. The spirit was so strong! Trent truely did this for himself and it has been such an amazing experience to go through it with him. Thank you to all the missionaries out there that go out and get knocked down and get back up to find that one person who is ready to learn about the Gospel, because that one person is a husband, dad, brother, and son and it makes a difference!

To my amazing husband, I love you so much and I'm so proud of you and the example you are to me! You remind me to be a better person and you truely have such an amazing spirit and testimony! I can't wait for our little guy to come and meet us anyday now and to have our little family! I love you Trent and I'm so so so proud of you! Thank you for your amazing example!

MIRACLES!!!!

2010-04-04T13:40:00.000-07:00

Trent and I are so excited to tell everyone that we are expecting our little baby October 2, 2010. After two long years of fertility treatment and two days before we were suppose to go to Denver to do In-vitro we found out we were pregnant. I reluctantly took a pregnancy test late Monday night and about had a heart attack. When I came running out of the bathroom to Trent, who was running on the treadmill, thought I was freaking out because there was a spider!!! Lol So much better than that we were so surprised and so excited to see the faint second line we had to run to our friends house down the street who was pregnant with her 3rd baby at the time to confirm to Trent that yes even though it was very very faint it was the second blue line we had been praying to see for 2 years!!!
Miracles do happen, Heavenly Father answers prayers, and EVERYTHING happens for a reason!!! Listening to conference on this Easter Sunday I keep finding myself getting choked up. We are so blessed! We will have a baby by the next conference and listening to all these amazing speakers and to our AMAZING prophet and to the counsel they give makes me realize that things happen when the Lord wants them to not when we think they should or we want them to.
Thank you to all of our family and friends for their love and support and prayers through this all and we are so blessed to have you in our lives!! Love you all!! Trent and Karie

I tried a billion times to turn this picture so turn your head!! Kaden was so scared of this dinosaur because it spit water out! He almost cried when it started growling....or whatever dinosaurs do. I thought it was funny but he liked it after we convinced him it wasn't real and it wouldn't "get" him! It is a little scary though!!

Kaden and Dallin in a heart of.....um I can't remember what dinosaur! But cute picture!
