"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

My Heart Is Full...

I have struggled the past year or so....every since we found out our last little one would be another little boy.
I have felt so guilty thinking that God made a mistake for giving us four little boys...UNTIL the past month...the past few days.

I realize God DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES. EVER.
He BLESSED us with four of the most PRECIOUS little ones. I am so BLESSED. WE are so blessed.

I thought my whole life that I would marry and we would have two boys and two girls. I was so wrong.
Am I a little sad I didnt get to have a little girl, yes. but I am SO HAPPY with my boys and I wouldnt want it any other way now.
I believe that you four little boys needed Daddy and I...you chose to come to us, and God knew we needed you and blessed us with you.
I am so thankful that I can have faith in Gods plan...this life is his plan and our responsibility is to work hard enough to return back to his side.
Mine and Dads job is to guide you back to him and be able to be all together for all eternity!

I want to know that if something ever happens that I will always have my husband and ALL my boys in this life and the next.
Iam excited to see you each grow and become men of God and I hope that we can teach you enough to fill your hearts with the gospel so that you will always
turn to your Heavenly Father. Please stay close to him.

Please know that I love each of you so much. More then my own life and I would do anything and everything for you.
I will love you all fiercely, instinctively, and without effort.

Im so PROUD to be your mommy!
I love you to the moon and back!

Karbon turns 9 Months Old....

If only I could stop the clock. If only.
Its pretty HARD watching your last little one grow up...and so fast at that. I would have a dozen of you. You are the absolute BEST. I smile at you
ever single time I see you, I cant help it. Your cute little two teeth smile and your scrunchy face that you do every time. IT MELTS ME...oh how it just melts my heart!

Im so proud to be your mom...I thank Heavenly Father for you. I thank him for not letting us loose you when I was still pregnant with you, I thank him for letting my body
carry you til it couldn't anymore and for letting your perfect little body come to us healthy and perfect!
YOU WERE MEANT TO BE MINE!!

This month has been a low key month for you since you past off sitting up and crawling all in two weeks time at 7 1/2 months
You started doing your scrunchy nose face more and more this month.
I gave you a drink of some lemonade and each time you drank some you made that face...dad and I were laughing so hard...I made a video of it!

Kiptins Allergic to WHAT.....

Tonight while we were having dinner, Karbon broke out in a rash from eating something so we were talking about being allergic to stuff....Kaylin says "remember im allergic to grass" and then Kiptin says "ya me too, remember when I got that grass stain on my knee on my pants"
oh my goodness was it funny...so i guess he is allergic to grass because he got grass stains on his pants!!!!!

Love that boy so much, he always says the funniest things!

Happy New Year...2016!

I havent written in our book since last year....it seems like last year was just yesterday...hahahahaha, i crack my self up!!!
Today we start a fresh new year January 1st 2016.

2015 was a great year...it had its ups and downs but we made it through them. Here is to an awesome 2016!

Last night Dad and I were kind of party poopers, we were so tired from the night before when litter Mr. Karbon kept us up literally ALL NIGHT LONG. it was awful.
So we didnt do much for new years eve...we ate some pizza and drank some sparkling cider and we watched a cute count down from netflix...then we were all in bed by 10 pm
yes..we were lame.

you all were troopers and I think you all were tired as well cause no one was mad one bit.


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.
