"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

These Boys....

These three have absolutely stolen my whole heart!

They mean everything to me, they are the one thing i can't live without...ever!
They are all little clones of each other, when we see kiptin and khailo doing new things and going through new stages we look back and remember when kaylin was just their age and doing those things, they look just like kaylin so its easy to see him so little again!
When we look at kaylin and how big he is and all the new things he is doing and learning we see kiptin and khailo coming right behind him.

They grow so fast. time is slipping away and soon my 3 little boys will be grown. I need their love and hugs, I need to hold their little hand for as long as I can, I need to hear their little giggles and silly jokes, I need to hear them say silly words and say their own version of words for as long as i can, I need then to JUST BE LITTLE!

I have always loved that saying "Let them be little" but it has only been recently that I find that saying playing over and over in my head, I treasure those four little words now more then ever. I have caught my self telling kaylin a few times to "grow up", not cool. the last time i said that to him i cried because that the LAST thing I want...and thats when those four little words entered my mind and I havent let them go ever since.

There will be a life time of them "grown up" but only a short while of them "Little"...I pray that I can treasure each of their little moments and actions for as long as I can!

We took a few pictures of them this morning before kaylin headed off to school.
Kaylin is 7 1/2
kipint is 4
Khailo is just about 11 months



With my whole Heart, I love you to the moon and back, my sweet boys!

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.
