The Narrows 1998








Fun trip with the kids to Zion National Park, walking through The Narrows. Sarah was just a baby and my mom was with us too, so we stayed back while the others walked through the river.

Sarah Michelle Born May 20, 1998


Our family had grown beautifully, but as Tanner was getting ready to start school, I started to feel like someone was missing. We thought our family was complete, but I kept having these recurring feelings that someone was missing and I even had an impression that her name would be Sarah. I certainly had never experienced this with my previous children. I remember telling the Lord, that He was going to need send these same impression to Gary, because I didn't think he was going to be to crazy about having another baby when things were just starting to get a little easier in our life. How could we refuse a prompting from the Lord, Sarah was born May 20, 1998. It was really fun having a baby girl when we actually had an income and I could buy some fun stuff and the other children were in school for part of the day, so we could enjoy some alone time. Sarah was a light that brought our whole family together. Everyone loved to mother Sarah. (Interesting to note, that sixteen years later she would receive her patriarchal blessings that said that she was a "light" to others and that she chose her birth order. Afterwards Sarah had mentioned that she was praying that the blessing would say something to confirm that her Heavenly Father knew her and was speaking to her. The spirit witnessed to all of us that day that her Heavenly Father knew her well.)
