Our Family: 4 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

4 Months Old...

4.20.10

Each month seems to be speeding by faster then the month before. I just love the little person kiptin had become, he is so fun! I love that he seems to know exactly what we are saying to him. He gives the biggest best smiles ever and they just light up his face and you cant help but smile back at him. His cute little laugh is so contagious and its cute cause he is still figuring how to laugh, when you tickle him he kind of doesn't always know what to do, he gets all tensed up and smiles and makes cute sounds trying to get a full laugh out!
Here are some of my favorite Kiptin things:
I love to watch him sleep.
I love to hold his little hands.
I love to snuggle him.
I love how happy he is.
I love how content he is when mom or dad are holding him.
I love how chubby his little legs are.
I love his beautiful smile.
I love his fuzzy head.
I love when he gets excited his little legs start a movin.
I love his beautiful eye's, I find my self lost in them everyday.
I love that he knows what he wants, and wants his own space.
I love how easy it is for me to be his mom.
I love that he chose me to be his mommy.
I LOVE THAT HE IS MINE, FOREVER!

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
