"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 Birthday Fun...

Now i finally have some time to post some of my birthday pictures...I had so much fun on my birthday thanks to my honey and all my good friends...We had such a good BBQ and lots of good laughs!
To start the day...we were laying in bed and I said to Nick.."what i don't get breakfast in bed?" he said you can if you want and i told him no i didn't want to lay here for another hour while he made breakfast so kaylin jumps off the bed and says "I'll make you breakfast in bed mommy" he goes in the play room and makes me one egg on his little kitchen and brings it in to me in bed and Say's here is you breakfast mom! (seriously SOOO CUTE) and then i said "no balloons either" and kaylin again jumped off the bed and said "i have a balloon for you mommy" and goes and gets me his balloon he got from his dentist the previous day which was going flat and had the dentist logo on it but what could i do...i just enjoyed it!!! (again seriously SO CUTE). Then we just hung out for the day together and later that evening i had some of my friends over for a BBQ and we just had a great time laughing and catching up!!!
My mom made me a yummy red velvet cake (which i made my new tradition last year for every birthday i will have a red velvet birthday cake every year) nicks mom made my cake last year for my birthday and so this year my mom wanted to make it and it was good!
So all in all my birthday was a success and really fun! A BIG thanks to my sweet husband for making my whole day just great and for all my friends that came to share in my 25th birthday bash! love you all!




LOVE HIM!

Kiptin's 3 Months Old...


March 20, 2010
Today marks yet another mile stone for my baby boy...he turned 3 months old today!
Can I just say I'M SO IN LOVE WITH HIM, he melts my heart, i cant help but smile at him all the time and kiss his cute chubby cheeks! He is a great baby (although we had some rough weeks with colic this past month but he is past that now, thank goodness) He really is growing into his personality and its so fun for us to watch.
Here are some things about Kiptin at his 3 month mark:
-Smiles all the time
-he has the cutest laugh, your heart skips a beat when he laughs its so cute.
-he wears mostly 6 months clothes...yes he is going to be a big kid i think.
-he is in size 2 diapers..this is crazy to me cause kaylin only made it to size 3 and still to this day if i put a diaper on kaylin it has to be a 3 and they fit him like a glove.
-he loves you to make faces and noises at him, they make him laugh so hard.
-he has LOTS to say all the time, he even makes faces while telling you his story.
-he loves his bath, he is so relaxed in it.
-he still likes his own space, he doesn't like you to be right in his face.
-he hates to lay down all the time, which is hard cause he cant sit up yet so someone had to hold him so he is sitting up.
-he is VERY ticklish and i LOVE IT!
-he is growing like a weed but is as beautiful as a flower!

This last month i have really gotten attached to kiptin, don't get me wrong i have always been attached to him and i have loved him since i first laid eyes on him but there had always been just a little something missing and i feel like it had gotten filled now that he interacts with me more and pays attention to me...silly i know but it has been a little different with him then it was with kaylin but i feel now everything is just perfect and i couldn't be more in love with my little boy then i am now!
I Love when i come walking by him now he looks at me and smiles.
I love to snuggle him and just smell him, mmmmmmmmm so yummy!
I love his big beautiful eyes that capture mine.
I LOVE his long black eye lashes, yes both my boys were more then blessed with long thick beautiful black eye lashes.
I love that he cant quite control his arms/hands yet and when they get going they really move and they whack him in the face but he just keeps on a movin!
I love his sweet spirit that he has, i know him and kaylin will be such special boys/men as they grow!
I love to sit and watch him move his month and his little tongue.
I love the little mouse like noises he makes when he is sleeping, kinda like he is having a bad dream.
Most of all I JUST LOVE HIM!

Happy Green Day...

We had fun on St. Patrick's Day, for the past 4 years i started to make a green dinner and everything is green, this year i did green noodles with Alfredo sauce, salad, green 7-up, green cookies that were in the shape of a hat and some clover cookies, then i cut in half a loaf of french bread and made clover shapes in it as well. Dinner to me was really good but for the other two boy...not so much. Kaylin wouldn't eat anything that was green except for the 7-up and nick got REALLY sick the next day so he said he cant eat another green thing for dinner again. I guess my green dinner days are over 8(
We made daddy a little surprise and hid it in his back pack for him to find at school, but kaylin said "we hid it in your pack pack daddy" before he left so he found it before school it was really cute!

Hello to my new #....25

Dear 25,
I hope your really good to me cause i feel like this relationship could be a really good thing or a really bad thing, you see 24 wasn't the best number overall and i would really like our year together to be something spectacular! I know you come with some baggage and yes i think i woke up with a few more wrinkles already from you this morning but could you be so kind as to give me a little break, it really would be for your own good. You see you have only 364 more days to show me what kind of number you really are, be kind...please.
I would really like it if you wouldn't let things on me go south just yet maybe try north that would make me happy. I'm telling ya, this could be a good thing if you only would take my advice, just try it you will see!
I will give you credit cause you did start the day off right, i feel a little younger and i do have more energy today and very giggly, i feel like dancing and being so hyper...spice girls here i come!....wait did you drug me? if you did it was the right drug...thank you 25! i see now that we will be such good friends this year.

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.
