"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 17 months...

17 months today little buddy!!!


today marks 17 months since you have been born!!
I love you more and more each day.
You bring so much joy and happiness to me and our family!

The past month you have gotten to be such a funny little dude, here are the new things you have started doing and some things you love most...

you started shaking you head no now when I ask you if you want something..like "are you ready for bed" and you shake your head no!
you started getting really hyper and will just throw your self back onto the ground and laugh
you started to run away from us now...thats been fun for me ;)
you have noticed the outlet sockets now and try to plug stuff in or unplug stuff...im not thrilled about this, it makes my heart stop everytime you are by one.


you started to really like peanutbutter and honey sandwiches
you love the water
you LOVE taking showers...when daddy walks in the door from work you run straight to our room and head in the shower and then jibber jabber to dad to get in!
you still go to bed so amazingly 7 pm to 7:45 am if not longer

You just got your ear tubes in this past week and you have been a new kid...so happy all the time and not pulling on your ears every second of the day. The day we went into have that done, I felt so bad leaving you, it broke my heart when I had to hand you over to the nurse who took you through the double doors while you were reaching out to me and crying...but I knew in 30 min you would feel so much better and the ear pain/pressure would finally be gone and you could just be a happy little toddler finally! It only took the Dr. about 15 min to put them in and then you were woke up and Dad and I came to hold you & love on you. you slept most of that day but the next day you were so happy, we could tell a big difference in you!

We love you, I can never say that enough..I say it to you all the time and hope you always feel that from Dad and I!

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.
