"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!

Happy 4th Birthday Kaylin...

Kaylin got really spoiled this year..he got 2 parties, one was before his actual bday with his friends and cousins at a water park and the other was on his bday with some family that couldn't be there for the other one!! They were both really fun. Daddy and I bought him a digital camera because he is taking after his mommy and liking photography..he would walk around the house with one of our really old film cameras that didn't work anymore and take pictures so we thought it would be a perfect gift and one he would really use all the time...he love his camera and takes pictures of everything with it!

Kaylin turned 4 years old today! I cant believe how the years have really flown by. It is very strange to us that we have a 4 yr old...kaylin was just so tiny when he was born, only 5 lbs and 17 inches and now he it so big! He is the a big part of our family and the first one that made us a real family, he is our world and I could never life with out this kid, he is still my little snuggler and is such a mommy's boy (ok maybe thats just when he gets hurt or when its bed time, other then that he is now taking after his daddy) We love him so much....life would never be what it is with out him in it with us! We love you so much kaylin...happy 4 birthday!!!

Our date with the Monkey's...


I got to take kaylin on a fun little date night with just him and I on July 2.
We went out to Tuacahn and watched the Musical "Tarzan"...can I just say one word...AMAZING!! We were definitely not disappointed one bit, they did such a phenomenal job on that play. We had such a great time together.
Kaylin is my soft hearted boy like his daddy so when the baby was crying kaylin got all upset and was wanting to know what was wrong with him, then the cougar got Tarzan's real mom and dad and kaylin just lost it and started to cry and was wondering what happened to the baby and if the cougar got him, I calmed him down and explained to him it was just a play and he did a little better after that, he still got upset a few more time when Tarzan's monkey mom was sad but he soon was laughing again.

From start to finish was so awesome, the monkeys looked so awesome with their costumes they were outstanding, and they came flying over your head and we got 4th row back from the stage seats so it was like we were right on stage and they were right in our face..it was so cool, and they were jumping on ropes, it was just crazy the amount of creativity that was put into that show, By FAR the best show I have been too.

At the end of the show we got go and meet the actors, kaylin really wanted to but when it was our turn to say hi and take our pictures kaylin kind of got a little scared of them being that close to us so we got our picture with the monkey's and then he wouldn't stand by Tarzan and Jane and Little Tarzan so he wanted me to just take a picture of them for his book so he could save it.

I love little date nights with kaylin, he makes a perfect date!
Love you big boy!

Happy Half a Year Old Kiptin Boy...

It came so fast, Kiptin is 6 Months old now!
He is trying so hard to crawl and wants to be moving around with his big brother, he rolls all over to get where he wants to be. I just love this little guy so much, he makes me smile everyday!
We took him to his 6 month check up on the 21st and his doctor said he is very active for his age, he is weighing in at 19lbs and over 26inch tall.
his is by far passing kaylin up at his age, he will be blowing past kaylin I think.
He is still our child who know what he wants and wants it now, He loves to play and yes still loves his own space, He loves his bath and now that he is eating food he cant get enough!
He sits up for a long time with out falling over but still takes a spill when he gets really excited. He still is waking up around 5 am for a bottle but sleeps from 9pm til 5am and then has a bottle and falls back to sleep until about 8 or 9 am.
He laughs a lot, and sometimes cry's a lot.
But we sure LOVE him A LOT!!!


Here is Kiptin Rolling over for the fist time, it was back in April but I haven't gotten around to posting it yet or now is better then never right :)

The First Sound Of being Moble...

Well Kiptin has has been loving sitting in his walker for a couple of months now and he has figured out how to move backwards quit well but not so good at the forward motion until now...i was sleeping in and nick had the two kids out in the kitchen the other morning when all the sudden my sleep was interrupted by the loud sound of glass breaking, I ran down to see what had happened and nick said kiptin had walked FORWARD in his walker to my corner shelf and pulled it over. This shelf had my wedding pictures on it and one of my most favorite picture frames with a wedding picture and one of nick and i as babies in it..well is was broken to pieces, not savable at all :(
Kiptin was just laughing away like he meant to do it..he really is going to be my problem child i think. Here are the picture of it:

Camping...

We had a fun little camp out..short but really nice to just get out of the house for a night! It was kind of windy which wasn't that much fun but at least we have a camper so that made it nice. We just hung out and did really nothing which is always nice for a change, kaylin had a blast climbing rocks and carrying fire wood, playing fetch with the dogs and hiking to the very top of the great big hill with daddy! Kiptin and I mostly hung out in side so he wouldn't get sick but it was fun and he was SO happy to be out of the house, he is like me that way, I can only take so much of being inside the house! We went for a little walk to the lake and just had fun being with each other and not worrying about a thing!!! camp outs are always fun with my boys!

Do You Smell Something...

I told nick it was his turn to change kiptin the other day, and I walked back to the boy's room to see if he needed any help and this is how I found Nick...

One of kiptins blankets tied to his head, to mask the smell...guys are such babies!


I went to grab the camera cause I couldnt miss out on a great picture.
This is really how dads change dirty diapers...still to this day, if the kid stinks he cant take it...maybe for fathers day I should buy him a gas mask!
I love him he make me laugh!

Kiptin turns 5 months old.....


Seriously each month seems faster then the last. It doesnt feel like I had him 5 months ago yet at the same time in a way it feels like he had been here forever with us! He is such a good boy, he had some ruff weeks a while back but has kicked those out and is so happy pretty much all the time.
It is truly amazing how much love i have for him and how I could never be with out him, he is such a perfect part of our family.
Kaylin just loves him (sometimes too much) and smothers him with hugs and kisses all day long, i seriously have to pry kaylin off most of the time so kiptin can have some space :)
Iam so greatful for both of them and have been blessed to have them in my life they are the best things i have gotten out of this life and im thankful to have the chance to share my life with them!
Last month just after he turned 4 months old he started rolling over. (a post all in its self, to come later)

Kiptin has amazsing deep blue eyes!

He loves blowing bubbles out of his mounth

He found his feet this month and is always grabbing them and playing with his toes.

He had the cutest chubbby little feet ever...i love them

This is what happens when you take his food away...not good, he LOVES his food!

He loves trucks, kaylin got this one from the monster truck show and everytime kiptin sees it he gets so excited!

I love his hands and feet, so little and soft! He is using them so well now and really got the hang of what they will do for him!

Most of all Kiptin LOVES his big brother, they will laugh and laugh together for no reason at all, they scream back at eachother...seriously scream it is so funny to hear kiptin get all into it and scream back at kaylin. They are just happy to have eachother as i am for them to....they are both amazing boys!

Happy 5 Months Kiptin...I Love You!

They call me Mommy....

I love that i have these two to call me mommy. What special blessing they are to me in every way. I love there handsome faces and priceless smiles, and those eyes that gaze into mine and mine to theirs. They chose me to love and care for them each and every day. They bring out every emotion possible in me and I love them dearly for that, they make me stronger everyday.
They call me their Mommy!

The Ones I love the MOST!

Even though its my day (mothers day) i cant forget my better half who make me want to be a better person and I love him for that.
He also had a part in giving the most precious gifts of all my life.
He is my man, honey, babe, dear, love, hubby, and best friend...I love you so much!

Your are the best 3 boys ever, you are my life!

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.
