Our Family: Karbon is 14 months!...

"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

Karbon is 14 months!...

Today marks 14 months of having my sweetest littlest baby boy...karbon is so much fun. He is cuddly, happy, loves his mommy and daddy...he thinks he is just as big and his brothers and try's to do everything they do. He sleeps like a champ 12-14 hours a night, doesn't cry when it's bed time! He loves food, not a big fan of fruit but loves most all veggies. He crawls like a Taz mania devil...so fast! He walks along everything and will take 2 or 3 steps but then chickens out and goes back to crawling!
He is the happiest, easiest baby and only crys when he is board, tired, or hungry!
He loves his bath time!
He loves to just be with his mommy & daddy....he is super shy around other people but that's ok cause he gives mommy extra snuggles when strangers come around and I LOVE it!
I'm so sad he is growing so fast now...I truly want him to stay little and always be my tiny baby.
I can't imagine life without this kid he completes me and I know he was ment to come to me and be mine!!
I love you forever and ever my sweet boy!!

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
