On Wednesday nights Anthony and I are in charge of the cub scouts and we usually take James with us. Last Wednesday he was being a little difficult, and since my mom and brother were visiting, they took him into the nursery to play with toys until we were done. My mom was impressed with James' drum playing skills so we got him to do a repeat performance for the camera :) Can I just say, in advance, that I am 100% against him having a real drum set one day because of the noise factor, but I love that he likes rhythm and music!
While I was looking through my brother's videos to get the drum video, I found this one of James and Anthony from while were vacationing in North Carolina. We were showing everyone how much James loves to be thrown around on beds and couches. So funny!
Anthony has been a registered nurse for 11 years. He received his Master's Degree in Nursing from the University of South Florida and is currently working as an adult nurse practitioner at a private family practice. He also is a committed saltwater aquarium enthusiast and is a die-hard fisherman:)
I got my bachelor's degree in psychology and my master's degree in rehabilitation counseling from UF. After working a year and a half at USF with Student Affairs, running their academic testing center for students with disabilities, I am currently a stay at home mom and chief family officer.
We have two little boys, James and Everett and we love being parents!!
Anthony and I met in January 2005 when he moved to Gainesville to work at Shands. We were both in the same family home evening group in the singles ward. (Accident? I don't think so!) After we got to know each other, we were pretty much inseparable. We had so much in common and we felt like we had always known each other. Anthony proposed to me in July 2005 by sending me on a scavenger hunt around town to our different dating milestones (our first date, our first kiss, etc..). The scavenger hunt ended with him down on one knee with an engagement ring! We were sealed December 17, 2005 in the Orlando Florida Temple.

"David saw himself as a shepherd, but the Lord saw him as a king of Israel. Joseph of Egypt served as a slave, but the Lord saw him as a seer. Mormon wore the armor of a soldier, but the Lord saw him as a prophet. We are sons and daughters of an immortal, loving, and all-powerful Father in Heaven. We are created as much from the dust of eternity as we are from the dust of the earth. Every one of us has potential we can scarcely imagine."-Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin "In the private sanctuary of one's own conscience lies that spirit, that determination to cast off the old person and to measure up to the stature of true potential." -President Thomas S. Monson
