"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 4th Birthday Kaylin...

Kaylin got really spoiled this year..he got 2 parties, one was before his actual bday with his friends and cousins at a water park and the other was on his bday with some family that couldn't be there for the other one!! They were both really fun. Daddy and I bought him a digital camera because he is taking after his mommy and liking photography..he would walk around the house with one of our really old film cameras that didn't work anymore and take pictures so we thought it would be a perfect gift and one he would really use all the time...he love his camera and takes pictures of everything with it!

Kaylin turned 4 years old today! I cant believe how the years have really flown by. It is very strange to us that we have a 4 yr old...kaylin was just so tiny when he was born, only 5 lbs and 17 inches and now he it so big! He is the a big part of our family and the first one that made us a real family, he is our world and I could never life with out this kid, he is still my little snuggler and is such a mommy's boy (ok maybe thats just when he gets hurt or when its bed time, other then that he is now taking after his daddy) We love him so much....life would never be what it is with out him in it with us! We love you so much kaylin...happy 4 birthday!!!

Our date with the Monkey's...


I got to take kaylin on a fun little date night with just him and I on July 2.
We went out to Tuacahn and watched the Musical "Tarzan"...can I just say one word...AMAZING!! We were definitely not disappointed one bit, they did such a phenomenal job on that play. We had such a great time together.
Kaylin is my soft hearted boy like his daddy so when the baby was crying kaylin got all upset and was wanting to know what was wrong with him, then the cougar got Tarzan's real mom and dad and kaylin just lost it and started to cry and was wondering what happened to the baby and if the cougar got him, I calmed him down and explained to him it was just a play and he did a little better after that, he still got upset a few more time when Tarzan's monkey mom was sad but he soon was laughing again.

From start to finish was so awesome, the monkeys looked so awesome with their costumes they were outstanding, and they came flying over your head and we got 4th row back from the stage seats so it was like we were right on stage and they were right in our face..it was so cool, and they were jumping on ropes, it was just crazy the amount of creativity that was put into that show, By FAR the best show I have been too.

At the end of the show we got go and meet the actors, kaylin really wanted to but when it was our turn to say hi and take our pictures kaylin kind of got a little scared of them being that close to us so we got our picture with the monkey's and then he wouldn't stand by Tarzan and Jane and Little Tarzan so he wanted me to just take a picture of them for his book so he could save it.

I love little date nights with kaylin, he makes a perfect date!
Love you big boy!

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.
