Birthday BOY!

Yesterday was Kellin’s Birthday! I cant believe how fast this last year flew by. We celebrated his Birthday on Saturday with a our families, So Yesterday I took the boys to get an ice-cream cone with sprinkles.
Kellin is growing so quickly And he is the happiest baby ever always smiling or laughing at something or nothing. For a while he was growing pretty fast but he seems to have slowed down staying at around 18-19 lbs for the last several months don't let that fool you though because he is still as squishy as can be with rolls to spare!
I have never been able to get over how beautiful this boy is! Big blue eyes perfectly pink lips soft golden hair and a little round face, I swear he is too pretty sometimes to be a boy- But he is ALL boy he loves to play with balls and eat dirt! He still isn't walking and actually doesn't really want anything to do with it other then walking along the furniture. Whenever we try to get him to walk while hold his arms or body he just gets so mad and tries to sit down its so funny, he is a little stinker
Kellin has been such a sweet blessing in our home and we are so thankful Heavenly Father sent him to us so that we get to enjoy him!!!
We LOVE you Kellin Happy 1st birthday!!!!

I will post birthday party pictures soon!

The Day For LOVE

These beauties are from Jake the love of my life! I only wish I could smell them right now, I have been pretty sick the past couple days.
Happy Valentines Day!!


This picture I took while experimenting with my custom bokeh lens hood—that I made my self. This was really fun I was just limited with the lighting in my house so I drug out some white Christmas lights Cory kept asking for Santa Clause Christmas.

:You Are:

 

You are the trip I did not take;

You are the pearls I cannot buy;

You are my blue Italian lake;

You are my piece of foreign sky

Anne Campbell “to my child”

LOVE

Yesterday the day past like normal Jake woke up ran some errands came home Kissed me and the boys good bye and left for work. I spent the day cleaning and chasing after a 3 year old tornado and kissing on a squishy 7 month old who is rolling and scooching just about anywhere he wants to go these days. Jake got home a little later then usual. We visited watched TV and then went off to bed. Now it might not sound like it but yesterday was our 4th year Anniversary. I’m sure we will plan something romantic when we have the time. But days like yesterday and today the “normal” days are just fine with me. 4 years ago yesterday I couldn't even imagine the happiness I would experience with Jake in just these short years. We have been given so much to be thankful for and to love. We have a Beautiful Life!

4 years in fast forward

I think its time for some family pictures!

GIVE THANKS ALWAYS...

I am sitting here in my kitchen and the aroma of Thanksgiving dinner is surrounding all of my senses. Because of Jakes work schedule we are eating early and at my house. This is a first for me having Thanksgiving dinner in my own home, But I am thankful that my family will be together for dinner. I wanted to say out loud (or write) some things I am thankful for…

~My Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ who have given me EVERYTHING in my life!!

~My VERY handsome funny talented husband who i just happen to LOVE like CRAZY with ALL my heart

~My two beautiful happy healthy children Cory and Kellin who ARE my life

~My beautiful Mother, my Amazing Father who have always taught me so much and have been such wonderful examples to me (even if I don't always follow)

~My Rambunctious handsome little brothers Danny Boy Keith Tyrell Jared and Garrett they have given me many adventures

~ My extended family even though they are just as near and dear to me as my own flesh and blood. Mom Dad who are the best in-laws anyone could ask for and who i enjoy being with just as much as my own parents Ben Cory and my best friend Molli who I MISS like crazy and her sweet little family(even Larry)

~The Gospel of Jesus Christ

~The roof over my head the clothes on my back and the food in my belly

~ and Last but not least the delicious feast i will be devouring on the morrow…

boys: boys: boys:

I LIVE for days like these…

Days when i get to sit around and rock my babies

Days when i can lay around with the man i love with all my heart, and watch our children play

Days when i can sit back and smile and just enjoy this beautiful life that has been given to me

Days when i can be thankful for boys boys boys.

A Bit Early...

Kellin will be 6 months old in about 10 days!!!!

were did the time go? My Baby is sitting up almost perfectly now Chubby and full of smiles and giggles. And I have to say he is BEAUTIFUL. I just love to stare at him and take pictures of that face. I think he's pretty enough to be a girl. Perfectly pink lips, long eye lashes, perfect eye brows, and big blue eyes. I'm trying to figure out were this kid came from and whose genes he actually got.

He is growing and learning so much everyday. He LOVES his big brother Cory. His face just lights up when Cory comes in the room and his eyes never leave him.

6 months later I can say things might not be getting easier with two kids but it sure is getting fun! I love my children. I LOVE kellin and the sweet spirit he has brought into our home. I love to squeeze and kiss him. I just cant get enough!!

Kellin has changed so much since we brought him home…
