"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Picnic Day!

We went for a little family outing today since i had no nursery class at church (yes we ditched, i know we are awful but it was fun) anyways we took the four wheelers out to the BLM and let our dogie Sampson run beside us, he has never done that before i seriously thought he was going to die...he was so exhausted when we got back to the truck, but it was way fun, we took a picnic lunch up into this little canyon looking thing and eat and sat around and let kaylin play in the dirt...he loves that. i am so glad i have a hubby that is willing to take us out and have fun family times together, that is my most favorite thing in this world to just hang out with my family!! i truly cant imagine life with out them, it defiantly wouldn't be worth living.

VENTING...

Iam really feeling the need to vent right now so iam sorry if this offends anyone in anyway. i was looking myspace a while ago and i noticed a girl who has a picture of her on there just her body and she is pregnant and only 16, iam married and and have been trying for some time now for our 2nd and it just make me sick that someone who doesn't really want a child and probably has no means to take care of one and it not even mature enough to handle the challenges and life change that comes along with the change is having one, i know i sound really selfish but i just hate to see things like that happen it really make me sick. trust me i know how hard it is for a 16 year old to have a child it happend in my own family so iam not just judging. the things that she says on her page really show her maturity level, maybe iam judging a little but i really cant stand to see stupidity happen. I feel a little better, now i got that off my chest.

Silky Soft!!!

My child is very strange...iam not really sure when this started but one day i was cleaning out my clothes drawers and kaylin thought he was helping me out by unfolding all the clothes after i folded them up, until he come across one of my nighties..oh he loved the way that felt and he put it around his head and carried it with him all day, nick was like what is he doin cause he had on a hot pink and blue silky lace top of mine, ever since then he goes and looks for anything that is soft...don't worry i hid all my nighties from him so now its just my scarfs he likes, hence the picture!

A nice weekend out!

I finally got nick all to my self this weekend for a bit, we went camping with some friends and their family (thanks mike and stacy) and it was so nice to get out and be away for awhile it wasn't a long trip but it was so so nice, since nick and Landon have been hanging out and catching up on games for the past like 2 weeks now, (FYI London is nicks brother who just got home from his mission to Russia, for those of you who don't know) anyways so i have been missing nick and really wanted to spend some time with him all to my self, thanks honey. i will put on some pictures of our fun day when i find my camera cord. we had fun sleeping in the back of our truck, going for a four wheeler ride and hiking with our little guy, nick caught some fish in the pond like 12 i think and we brought them home to put in our fish tank but they had all died except for 2 they made it to our tank (if they live). and then nick took me to a movie Saturday night and now he is back to gaming with his bro. it was fun while it lasted!!!

How We Started Out!

Here is a little bit about how nick and i started off....we met when my brother asked his sister to marry him, we went on a double date with them to the red cliffs movie theater and nick and i went and watched toy story and nick spilled my huge Pepsi under all the chairs all the way down to the front row (ya i was mad, no not really) i just laughed and haven't let him forget that, anyways that was our first date if you could call it that cause i was only 14 but that didn't matter to me. That was our first date that of course led to many more...we dated all through high school, yes he is my high school sweetheart, he graduated in 2002 and then i was left all alone for my last year, ya is was sad. In 2003 we bought our first car together (ya before we were married, a Little weird.) that was in march and i totally thought nick was going to ask me to marry him on my birthday witch is march 8 but it came and went, the week after his family and i went to California for a little trip and nick surprised me with the chance to swim with the dolphins there, it was awesome cause that has always been one of my dreams and as we were playing with the dolphins i got to through this big bottle to the dolphin who's name was misty and she would go and get it and bring it back to me and i got to open it and see which treat i was going to get to feed her, well i pulled out the rolled up note and to my super surprise nick got on one knee and the note said of course "will you marry me" and nick was holding the ring and i could not believe it and of course everyone knew it was going to happen but me, misty started to slash us and slash us and everyone that was watching was clapping and yelling it was so awesome, i'am very lucky to have such a creative hubby, he was always doing special things like that!
We got married in August and then bought our house right away, and we then planned a early couples temple mission to go on for a year, we went and served in the Hawaii temple on the north shore, this was such a blessing for us and a special way to start our marriage and life together, it was hard but so worth every minute of it. and we returned home to our house and then in 2005 i found out by kind of surprise i was pregnant and in July 2006 we had our little boy Kaylin James. This pretty much sums up how things fell into place with us. Now we just enjoy being parents and a family and cant wait to expand and have more bundles of joy in our life!!!

To My Husband

I just want to let my honey know how much i love him, he is my world, my life, and my soulmate. Thank you for sharing your life with me, for giving us the gift of a family and being together for eternity. You are the beat to my heart, i could never repay you for all you have done for me the past 9 years, you have really made me the person i am today. i love you so much and i just want you to know that you are my everything and more!!!

Everyday is not just another day.

So today i was looking at kaylin's little baby pictures and hanging new ones on the wall, when i thought to myself....where did the time go. I cant believe how big he is now and how much he has grown into a little toddler. It really made me realize how you really need to cherish everyday you have with each other and take lots of pictures so you can look back on those precious times you had!

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
