Our Family: My Chunky Monkey turns TWO Months Old...

"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

My Chunky Monkey turns TWO Months Old...

From this cute LITTLE baby boy....

To My Handsome CHUNKY MONKEY BOY!

I LOVE his cute little expression in this picture he's just so "CHILL", i love his hands they are so perfect just showing he is two months old with two fingures, or maybe he is trying to hit on the ladies early in life!

This is one of my favorites i have been able to go (ok well i actually have many favorites but dont all mommy's) He is just so Handsome in this picture and looks so much like his brother.

Another one of my favorites i have of him but this one is one of the few i have of me and him that I LOVE.

L.O.V.E the chunky Chubs!

He is all full of SMILES all the time.

His big brother sure loves him lots, he has to have pictures with him everyday.

Kiptin at TWO MONTHS: has the cutest chuby cheeks and legs, Loves to smile and be talked to, really study's your face when your talking to him, sleeps pretty good at night only waking mom once or twice, loves to be held, hates being swadled, has to have his ALONE time when he is sick of being held he just wants to lay down and observe whats going on, falls asleep when i put him in is bassinet and put his blanky on (mom loves this), he is really paitent, does not cry at night when he wakes to eat he just makes cute noices to let me know he is up and ready, gets hot fast, loves to see his big brother, trys to make the same cute "cooing" noices you make at him, laughs in his sleep!
We love you Kiptin, your a perfect part of our family!

Kaylin's Funnies!

set up: nick and kaylin are playing video games.

"your not very good dad, you should let me show you how to do it"

"Iam really snart, i know stuff " (snart: meaning smart)

set up: kaylin wants to sleep in our bed.

"kaylin you need to sleep in your own big boy bed"

"but that is my 3 year old bed and I'm 4 so now I can sleep in this bed with you. its a 4 year old bed"

set up: kiptin pulled the filter off the vacume and I couldn't figure out how to put it back on.

"oh mom why did you take this off, let me fix it"

"no kaylin leave it alone, let daddy fix it"

"I can do it...see mom, fixed"

(a very stupid mom moment for sure...its sad when your 4yr old is smarter then you)

“One’s life….cannot be both faith-filled and stress-free….Therefore, how can you and I really expect to guide naively through life, as if to say, ‘Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!’ Real faith….is required to endure this necessary but painful developmental process.” Neal A. Maxwell
