"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

Khailo is 11 months old!

Today you turned 11 months old.
I have such mixed emotions about this one...im so excited to see all your new stages and see how much you are growing BUT I am also sad, next month you start the toddler stage and you graduate the "baby" stage, not sure I'm ready for that.

You are such a fun baby.
You make us smile and laugh all day.
You Love food, of course!
You love blue berry waffles and Banana bread.
You love carrots, potato soup, chicken noodle soup.
You Love your baths now.
You love to find your way to the toilets and play in the water. gross I know, I keep telling you that!
You love love love your mommy. you are by far the who has been more attached to me then kaylin or kiptin ever were.
You love your daddy...you are a slight trader now that you learned to say "DADA" because now you always call out for him instead of me!
you crawl everywhere, when you see me coming after you, you try to crawl as fast as you can away from me catching you!
You walk along furniture and will walk with anything as long as you have a firm grip on it!
You have stood with out holding on to anything a few times but you get so nervous that you hurry and sit down!
You sleep SO GOOD at night time, 12 to 13 hours without a peep...BUT naps are a different story, you hate them!
When you see us bringing you a bottle you about loose it and throw your self backwards and start freaking out to get it!
Your laugh is one of my most favorite sounds!
You are just AMAZING in every way!!!

Happy 11 months little man (wish i could freeze time now and keep you little forever and ever)!

Happy Valentine's Day!

A day late! 
Yesterday was craziness and I couldn't make it on here to write the post on V-day.
This is Dad and I's 15th year together celebrating Valentines Day with each other!

The boys woke up to a little something from Dad and I, they loved their shirts and treats!
Kaylin and Kiptin had Valentines Day party at their schools.  We bought a heart shaped pizza and the boys went to a friends house while Daddy and I went out with their parents for a dinner together (the Cowly's, our super great friends that we love here). 

Khailo was so cute on his First Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day 2014 to my 3 amazing little boys and my super amazing husband. I love you guys with more then all my heart and my life is so complete with you guys, I could dream of waking up and spending the day with anyone else!




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.
