Our Family: Happy 4 Months old to our Kar...bunz!....

"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 4 Months old to our Kar...bunz!....

well month 4 has arrived. I savor every moment with you...something i wish i would have paid more attention to with the other as well....knowing you my last little one and i will never have my own little one doing the same mile stones as you makes me just sit and hold you most of the day. i would trade it!

this month has been SO much fun...you started giggling thing month..i caught one of your first giggles on video..kaylin was at the hotel room holding you and singing a song and you thought it was the funniest thing and just started laughing....MELTED MY DANG HEART....so adorable, I could listen to that my whole life every single day and never get sick of it...ever.

you went in to the doc for your 4 month check up and shots...which you hated.....and your movin on up the charts slowly but surely! 13 pounds on the dot!
you havent liked your bath for some reason lately
you coo at everything
you love to just sit with me or dad and watch everything
you love your frog chair, it lets you sit up on your own and you can see whats going on
you love the swing to sleep now
you have the cutest chubby lets around
your little face is started to get nice and round

we love you so much and you are a perfect fit to our family, you brothers still maul all over you!

here are some cute pics throughout the month!

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
