Spring in Bloom at the Houston Temple

Back on March 22 we enjoyed a visit to the Houston LDS Temple grounds. It was a beautiful day and everything was in bloom for Spring. I love Spring! Its my favorite time of year to see all the trees and flowers come to life after a cold, dreary winter. The girls had a great time being outside soaking in the nice weather and sun. Not to mention the temple grounds and gardens are so peaceful. Its a nice escape from it all.

I have a granddaughter on an LDS mission in the Houston Texas mission. Her name is Sister Sade Kyles. Maybe you can be on the lookout for her. She gets to the temple once in a while. Right now she is serving right in the town of Houston. Her father is black, her mother is white, and Sade is gorgeous. Of course, I'm her grandmother. She is on facebook under Sade Kyles.

About Us

Thomas and I were married in January 2007 in Houston, Texas. About 8 months later, we were excited to start a family. After a diagnosis of infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, we were devastated. With the help of infertility treatments we were blessed with twin boys (Brian and Brendan), but unfortunately lost them at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Unwilling to give up on our dream to have a family, we tried again, but our second try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. On our third try we were surprisingly expecting sextuplets. On August 4, 2009 at 22 weeks 6 days, we welcomed 4 girls and 2 boys - Haley, Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Our sweet angels Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn and Kaitlyn passed away and returned to our loving Heavenly Father. We have been so blessed to have Haley and Rachel at home with us. They have been home from the NICU since February 2010. They are doing well and growing. They are miracles! We love them and have been so blessed!

We have been so blessed to have added another miracle baby to our family. Kayla was born December 9, 2011. She was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. She is a precious miracle and we are so glad she joined our family.

Our last little miracle, Brandon Thomas joined our family on December 14, 2015. He was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. He was 9 pounds, 7 oz (big boy)! He has spina bifida, but he is doing well. He is such a happy boy!! We love our little boy and are so blessed to have him in our family.
