Happy Birthday Taylor

This Princess turns 2 today.  We are so blessed to have her in our lives and we will never be able to say that enough.  She has the best personality and I can tell she will be just fine in life.  She is a strong little girl and knows exactly what she wants.  God has blessed us in the most incredible way by giving her and Kade to us.  Happy Birthday to our little beauty.  We love you always and forever!!!

Birthday Day!

August 9th

Even though we had a party planned for Taylor on the 13th we still decided to do some cake, ice cream, and presents at our house with our immediate family on the day of her birthday.  She was such a showoff, I have never seen her this way but it filled my heart with so much happiness and such a feeling of proudness (if that's a word) that she feels so loved by everyone, you could just tell.  She got so many great gifts.

Happy Birthday Baby, I love you in so many ways and I am so happy to be celebrating another birthday with you.  You get more handsome by the years.  Thank you for being you! Here's to 28 and so many more.

Kade's Birthday Party

BIG BOUNCE

May 12th

We did Kade's party at the bounce place this year.  It was nice because we didn't have to clean up and food was ordered for us and all.  We are so happy for the people that came and are so thankful for them all coming out to celebrate our baby's third birthday.  We love our friends and family so much! Now I have to think of where we can do it next year. 

Theme: Spider Man (Kade is obsessed with this character right now)

3 YEARS YOUNG!

3 Years ago, May 12th became one of the best days of my life and this is because we welcomed our beautiful son, Kade into our lives.  He is such a blessing from God and he bring so much joy into our lives.  We couldn't ask for a more perfect Son.

Happy Birthday Mijito! I love you so much and I am so proud of you!

Birthday fun!

SPLASH SPLASH!

I love it when we get invited to birthday parties because they are always so much fun and a great chance for Kade to have some play time. Our friends had a celebration for their two year old son and it was a lot of fun. They had it at a splash pad close to downtown and Kade was a little shy with the water at first, but then after that it was no big deal. Kade is the type that has to warm up to the idea of anything or anyone and then he is good to go. I loved getting these images of him. Jared unfortunately had to miss coming with us because he is scouting with his dad for Elk, but my motherinlaw came along and helped me like she ALWAYS does with my kids. Thanks Mari, your so wonderful. She handled Taylor while I made it all about Kadders. Thanks Jessie for inviting us, you know how to throw a party.....

Good Times........

27th Birthday, No HAPPY!

Yesterday was my 27th Birthday and it was terrible. I shouldn't say that so clearly, it was until the evening I guess I would say. One of my good friends passed away from a horrible infection on her brain. Someone may wonder why I want to remember this, but I think it's important to speak about the heartache as well, because after all it is part of life. I woke up with a terrible feeling in my stomach because we all knew she was sick and then the day just got worse. I feel for the family, but also want to mention how much we love them and we are here for them. I felt such a strong connection to my friend for a couple reasons (one was that we were both pregnant at the same time) and now sharing her death with the day of my birth made me that much closer to her. I know God has a plan for all of us and I know she is in God's hands and there is no better place to be.
However I do want to mention that I got to celebrate my birthday on Sat. at the house with great friends and family and I thank my cute hubby for doing that for me and for everything else he does. Last night we were going to go to Durango for dinner, but my spirits were really low and I wasn't in the mood so some friends came by and had pizza and cake instead. I miss my friend and I am so happy that we became close before her departure. She will always be in my prayers!!! Here's to turning 27 on the 27th. Cheers....

Happy Birthday My Love!

Friday was Jared’s 27th Birthday. I don’t know why, but while I was cutting the watermelon and washing the grapes for the small backyard party I threw for him (happy our yard is done so we can do things like this) I couldn't’t help but tear up at the thought that I would thank everyone for coming in celebration of Jared (Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones, who knows). Jared is such an amazing guy, and those words don’t even describe the true meaning of him. I really do feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have him as my husband. I was sitting there processing thoughts of all that we have been through and couldn't’t help but think this is the 5th birthday I am doing for him as my man. I love everything about him and look forward to celebrating all his future birthdays with him. Some of the greatest things about Jared are his good work ethic, he’s funny, contagiously charming, honest, thoughtful, extremely handsome, strong, wonderful father, terrific friend and motivates me to want to be better each and everyday. I love him so much and am so thankful for him always and always. Love you baby, and thanks to all our family and friends that came, we love you all!

I can't help but think how my Daddy is missing from this picture! I love you dad
