Our Family: 6 weeks 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

6 weeks old...

It really truly does seem like I was just in the hospital welcoming our sweet little Khai, and really its already been 6 sweet weeks with him. He is growing so fast. Yesterday I washed all his laundry and packed away most of his little new born and Just born clothes...such a bitter sweet day, I want him to stay little forever! He is quit the needy baby though, he is good but I think i spoiled him a little too much and now he thinks only his mommy can hold him and that he CAN NOT even for a second be set down! He kicked daddy out of his bed and snuggles with mommy...(not a wise choice and i do know better from our experience with kaylin) but when mommy needs a little sleep its just what has to be done, plus they are only little and snugly for so long so I am just doing what makes him feel good!!
last night he slept pretty much the whole night, he never really woke up to eat, it would have been a great nights sleep had I not woke up ever hour or so to make sure he was ok still :)

The past 6 weeks have been awesome and full of getting use to having 3 little kiddos, good thing i have nick, he takes on the big boys while i hang with little man...it feels like I am ALWAYS feeding this little guy, if im not feeding im holding or trying to get some extra sleep my self..but soon things will calm down and not be so crazy. Iam thankful for each of my boys and for my husband, they are truly all that matters in life to me, I have a happy great life!

Happy 6 weeks old Little Khai man!

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
