"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

Kiptins 8 Months...


I am amazed at how time seems to fast for me these days. I just posed that kiptin was 7 months and now another month has passed us right up.

Kiptin is such an amazing baby, he is happy and so smart. He has learned so much this past month...here is what he is doing now at 8 months...

*He loves Pears, anything pear he will eat or drink
*He loves playing with is brother and try's really hard to do everything he is doing
*He LOVES attention, all eyes on him or else!
*He started crawling EVERYWHERE he got the army crawl down about 6/7 months and the past month he has mastered the crawling stage of life.
*He sits on his knees and bounces, and laughs
*He is pulling himself up on to stuff and standing there, yes I would have to say
walking is in his really near future.
*He is for sure a binkie kid (unfortunately) he loves that thing.
*He has to have moms attention as soon as I walk through the door, if i dont stop and say hi and give him hugs and kisses he throws himself down on the floor and cry's until i get him or he crawls over to me and try's to pull himself up my leg!
*He is a mommy's boy for sure! (love him extra for that!!)
*He is very solid..I love his chubby legs and rolls he has, but they are fayding away fast now that he is on the move all the time.
*He still wakes up for one feeding sometime in the night (not good for mommy or daddy)
*He is in size 4 diapers now, kaylin only made it to size 4 so kiptin will for sure pass him up, (it does make it nice though that i only have to buy one size and they both can wear it, kaylin only wears then to bed, thank goodness!
*He is just awesome in every way!

I sure love him to death, he is such a blessing in our life's he makes us all happy!
I love you so much my little kipper snack! happy 8 months.

Our Fun Photo Shoot...

FINALLY...after 5 years I got a perfect place where I could take some awesome pictures of nick and his bullet bike. He had been wanting some done for a long time but i wanted really perfect ones with the right lighting not just the one on my camera, so since I have the perfect job and with the perfect lighting and studio set up now was the perfect time to do our shoot!!! I was just finishing up the senior session of shooting and hurricane high was our last school so I told nick to bring his bike and get them done since it would be a while before we would get the chance again...I wanted some done with me too so my boss's gladly took some of us together as well which turned out AWESOME! I LOVE the shots I got of nick, they look like they should be in a magazine! He is such a stud! hehehe.
It was so much fun not being rushed and getting to play with the lighting as much as I waned to, my job really is the best, and my boss! Nick loved them and (as least I hope) and its nice that i was able to give him something he has really wanted and not to mention I did them!!! Love you Babe!



Happy 26th Birthday Honey/Daddy...


Since we left for our family vacation and we were in San Diego for his bday I bought him the YUMMY piece of triple chocolate baby tiger cake (ok ok maybe I enjoyed the cake a little too much probably more then he did) but i forgot a candle so we (or just me) just sang to him and then he made a wish and bit the cake...


It's stranger and stranger as every year comes when nick turn's a year older cause I still remember him at 15 years old when I met him and now 11 years later he is still my best friend and more handsome then he was when I first saw him! He is the best dad and husband anyone could ever have...he is so perfect for me and such an amazing dad...I truly know I am one LUCKY girl to have such an amazing guy in my life, no one has to tell me twice when they say that cause I already know its true. Thank you for all you do for our family Nick, as kaylin would say....I SURE LOVE YOU!

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.
