"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

Sweet 16

 Our first baby boy had his “Sweet 16” !! Kaylin is and has always been such an amazing boy! His heart is bigger then Texas, he’s my baby forever… I can’t believe I’ve been his mom for 16 years, it sounds long and yet that time seems so short. I’d give a lot to have my little tiny guy back, I’d love the chance at a redo for so many things. He’s our first and he gets a lot but also is the one we rely on and the one we probably mess up the most with. I wish you could feel for just a moment the amount of love I (and dad) have for you, there are nor never will be words to describe it. 

I messed up and still do with you bud, I make so many mistakes just trying to make the right decisions. I want the world for you, I want a big amazing life for you, I want happiness and love for you, I want your brothers to always look up to you… karbon is definitely your best buddy, he loves you. Kip & khai love you but you guys are in the stage of sibling fighting, but you all have so much love for each other and I know you’ll all be best friends later in life.  I wish I could go back and never become distant from you, you were my everything, you’re the only of the boys that was my only love without sharing/multiplying my heart,  for 3.5 years you were my one and only and I couldn’t have loved anything more. You were my sidekick and never left my side… ever. 3.5 years I had you all to my self.  

Once we had Kip and then khai you started to slip away and I didn’t notice until it was too late, you were strong and not needy but it was the wrong decision for me think you were fine… I wasn’t there like I should have been, like I would have been if I knew you needed more. 

I need you. I want to be one of the important parts of your life and I suck at figuring out how to make that happen. It can’t be too late. 

I look at you and I’m proud of you and the person your becoming, you will be a great blessing to so many! 

Your my forever blessing! I prayed so so hard for you!! 

I can’t believe your at driving age, it’s crazy. You’ve driven off a few times and my heart just balls up in my throat because I want to protect you at all times and I have to just say a prayer that you’ll come back home safe to me each time you leave! 

I messed up on your birthday morning, I let hurt and sad emotions ruin your day, I truly hate myself for that. I burst out in anger even though it’s pain. It was painful watching you have no emotion while we sang to you, it’s been a really hard year with you full of so much pain and regret… I want to wrap my arms around you and you give me your “bear hug” like you use too. My heart misses my baby so dang much. 

Dad and I bought you a sweet car, we hope you love it. Dodge Challenger! We want to make you happy but not only with physical items, we want to make your heart happy too! We want your love your unconditional love! We may have made same mistakes kaylin, but please don’t hold those against us, we don’t have a direction manual to raise you but we hope you’ll know we always are trying to make the right decision and

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.
