LOTS of pictures!!

Iam not kidding when I say I have a lot of pictures. I have to explain them, Well the first couple are of thanksgiving. We were at my uncle's house and he had Santa there and my uncle also has chickens that lachlynn loved to play with!! I know there is a random picture of J.D. and my bro flashing gang signs! There are some pictures of me and my brother Zack's birthday party and we also got new family pictures taken. Sorry there are so many, but I had to post them all!

Random pictures of Lachlynn!

Here are a few random, but cute pictures of my Lachlynn. I love the picture where there are a lot of Lachlynn's. We were in the dressing room at the store and they had the three mirror's and lachlynn went crazy! She was talking and smiling to all of her Lachlynn friends. I also love the picture of her looking into the Christmas bulb on the tree. Random I know, but she is sooo cute. She is almost 9 months old!!!!!!!!! I am really going to miss her at this stage. I love everything about her. She is still the happiest baby I have ever seen. Not much going on with the sheppards just getting excited for christmas!

Happy late halloween

So for Halloween we all dressed up. I was Audre Hepburn, J.D. was a whoopee cushion, and sweet Lachlynn was a pink fairy. We had a blast. The first picture is of me after Lachlynn's fisrt experience with a bitter biscuits, she crawled all over me. Lachlynn is now 8 months. She is crawling up the stairs, standing up, and has a tooth coming in any day! She is growing soooo fast! Life is good with the Sheppards, can't complain.

I didn't get to write about all those pictures that I posted! Well there are some pictures of cute little Lachlynn, girls night out, and us at the Jazz game! That's what we have been up to the last month! I cant believe October is here and gone. I will post our fun Halloween pictures soon!!

Pictures!!

Families are FOREVER!

I just thought I would share a few thoughts. Today is the anniversary of my brother Chris's death. I want to share with you a testimony of the truthfulness of my blog title. Families are forever, what a great truth! I had the oppertunity yesterday to be with a friend of mine who is newly baptized and is from PA. She has never seen the Temple and so we took her to temple square and just walked around and took a tour. We then watched the testiments she had never seen. It was great for her to see all that, but it was also a great time for me to be reminded of the greatness of God and the Love he has for us. How grateful I am that he loves us enough to plan a way that we can be with our loved ones always and FOEVER! So on this bitter sweet day Iam gratful for my Heavenly Father and my Savior!

Almost 7 months!

Lachlynn will be 7 months next week! Lachlynn was in our bed one morning with me and J.D just playing and we just kept talking about how big she is getting and how we don't want her to grow up! I will miss this little bald head, little chubby feet, and her gummy smile. She is 15 pounds and 26 inches long, but still no teeth. Some things she loves: crawling through the house, eating apple rice cereal, going to the store and looking around, and playing with anything she can get a hold of. I love just hanging out with Lachlynn she is my best little buddy. When J.D. blesses her, he said that she " would be a beckon of light" she is!! She is so happy and smiley all the time. One of the pictures down below is of her with a bandage on her head. She had a growth on her head and we went to primary childrens and went to a specialst who removed it. She screamed and screamed! I had to go out of the room with they did it. When I went in she was still crying, but as soon as she saw me she started to smile and giggle! Man I love that girl! Also while I was there I noticed all the sick little children. Some of those little children were fighting for their lives. I thanked God that day for the healthy little gilr that I have that can function just fine.




I thought I would put this picture up here, lachlynn got this tea set from her baby shower and she loves to play with it already!

More Kingston

I had to post more pictures that my cousin jessica took at the hospital. Little Kingston is so so cute!! The day he was born Dannon wore a tuxedo shirt, he said it was a black tie affair. I love the one of me and Lachlynn, she smiles like that ALL day!!

KINGSTON!!!

Kingston Hancuff is here!!! After tears, much fasting, and many prayers, little Kingston is here. 7 pounds and 5 ounces, 21 inches long. It was soamazing to see Dannon and Mindi hold him in their arms! Congratulations Dannon and Mindi, we love you guys!

Cedar city

Wow two posts in one day, Iam on a roll! Well we went to Cedar city last weekend and visited J.D.'s sister and her family. It was so much fun. They have three girls. The first night that we got there they wanted to do hair and make up. We did each others make up and to top it all of they had hot pink glitter lip stick!!! We were three hot babes in this picture. It made me excited for when Lachlynn is older and wants to do hair and make up!!

The next day we rented canoe's, had a picnic, and hiked to Cedar breaks. It was so beautiful up there. On labor day we ran a 5K, saw pretty floats, hung out with the fam, and ate great food. What a fun weekend!!!!

sleepy girl

I just have to say that I love this girl! She is sweet! She will be 6 months this week, I can't believe how fast time has gone. She is just starting to crawl, loves to eat anything you put in her mouth, and she sleeps soooo well, me and J.D. have been blessed. Well we have been up to a lot this past month, but I dont have the pictures yet. J.D. has started his last year at BYU, he will be done in April!!!!!! How exciting. Well I will have pictures soon.

5 months, 2 years,triathlon

Lachynn is 5 and half months old!!! She is are sweet little girl. everyone who See's her always comments on how much she smiles. She is such a happy baby!! She weighs 13 1/2 pounds and is 24 inches long, and she sleeps between 9-11 hours at night! She has been the sweetest, happiest, easiest baby ever! We sure do love are little lachlynn!!! I dressed her up as an 80's aerobic girl the other day, we were laughing till we cried!! Man oh man she is cute!!






I can't believe it's been two years!!!! I have had a blast. Well my amazing mom watched Lachlynn the whole day and even watched her over night! ( what a nice mom) We went to the temple first and did a session and we were able to do some sealings. It was so neat to kneel across the altar again, it was so neat to do it for someone else. Then we hiked up the canyon that he proposed at and then went to the cheesecake factory. My uncle and aunt have a sweet condo in midway that they let us barrow, it's beautiful! We had a great time. For those of you who don't know I met J.D. when I was 16. I came across a journal that I kept in high school. It was so neat to read all the stories about my crush J.D. sheppard. Iam so glad that cheyenne set my and J.D. up clear back in high school! It is so cool to see how far we have come.



J.D. did his second triathlon. It was the jordanelle. We go to park city with J.D.'s parents the night before and stay in a hotel and then wake up nice and early to watch him. He did great, he beat his time from last year!! Iam so proud of him!!
