"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 8th birthday kaylin boy...

Eight awesome years with this kid...we couldn't be more blessed, he is the sweetest most kind hearted little boy!
We are so excited for this birthday and all that comes with it!  we will be leaving for Wyoming this next week we're kaylin gets the great opportunity to be baptized in the Sweetwater river, same place where so many of the pioneers were baptized. It's one of his favorite stories about the brave group of young boys who carried all the people across the Sweetwater river because it was so cold and frozen that many would die if they got cold, so these few boys carried everyone across and went back and forth over and over and later died, but being so brave they saved hundreds of lives.
Kaylin is so excited to stand close to where they were and be able to be baptized like jesus was in a river...we are so proud of him and the choices he makes!


Kaylin, we love you so much, we are proud of you and hope you always remember that. You will always be my little baby no matter what your "number" is or that you are taller then me one day...my little baby boy you'll always be!!

Here is pictures from your fun "SHARK SPLASH" party we had today. You loved the water bounce house slide from last year and really wanted it again this year and you are really into sharks this year so we made the two go hand in hand!!
Since you have an awesome dad, he carved you a shark out of a watermelon. You are not into cake or frosting, and you really wanted a chocolate fountain so we went with that, one was suppose to have red chocolate in it but we messed it up and it turned into more like "shark chum" thats what we called it!!







What a fun, super, great, kid you are!!

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.
