"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

Happy Half a Year Old Kiptin Boy...

It came so fast, Kiptin is 6 Months old now!
He is trying so hard to crawl and wants to be moving around with his big brother, he rolls all over to get where he wants to be. I just love this little guy so much, he makes me smile everyday!
We took him to his 6 month check up on the 21st and his doctor said he is very active for his age, he is weighing in at 19lbs and over 26inch tall.
his is by far passing kaylin up at his age, he will be blowing past kaylin I think.
He is still our child who know what he wants and wants it now, He loves to play and yes still loves his own space, He loves his bath and now that he is eating food he cant get enough!
He sits up for a long time with out falling over but still takes a spill when he gets really excited. He still is waking up around 5 am for a bottle but sleeps from 9pm til 5am and then has a bottle and falls back to sleep until about 8 or 9 am.
He laughs a lot, and sometimes cry's a lot.
But we sure LOVE him A LOT!!!


Here is Kiptin Rolling over for the fist time, it was back in April but I haven't gotten around to posting it yet or now is better then never right :)

The First Sound Of being Moble...

Well Kiptin has has been loving sitting in his walker for a couple of months now and he has figured out how to move backwards quit well but not so good at the forward motion until now...i was sleeping in and nick had the two kids out in the kitchen the other morning when all the sudden my sleep was interrupted by the loud sound of glass breaking, I ran down to see what had happened and nick said kiptin had walked FORWARD in his walker to my corner shelf and pulled it over. This shelf had my wedding pictures on it and one of my most favorite picture frames with a wedding picture and one of nick and i as babies in it..well is was broken to pieces, not savable at all :(
Kiptin was just laughing away like he meant to do it..he really is going to be my problem child i think. Here are the picture of it:

Camping...

We had a fun little camp out..short but really nice to just get out of the house for a night! It was kind of windy which wasn't that much fun but at least we have a camper so that made it nice. We just hung out and did really nothing which is always nice for a change, kaylin had a blast climbing rocks and carrying fire wood, playing fetch with the dogs and hiking to the very top of the great big hill with daddy! Kiptin and I mostly hung out in side so he wouldn't get sick but it was fun and he was SO happy to be out of the house, he is like me that way, I can only take so much of being inside the house! We went for a little walk to the lake and just had fun being with each other and not worrying about a thing!!! camp outs are always fun with my boys!

Do You Smell Something...

I told nick it was his turn to change kiptin the other day, and I walked back to the boy's room to see if he needed any help and this is how I found Nick...

One of kiptins blankets tied to his head, to mask the smell...guys are such babies!


I went to grab the camera cause I couldnt miss out on a great picture.
This is really how dads change dirty diapers...still to this day, if the kid stinks he cant take it...maybe for fathers day I should buy him a gas mask!
I love him he make me laugh!

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.
