Time Flies

When you're having fun. On Thursday Brandon and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. We have had a wonderful time building our lives together. We love our children, we love our home. we love each other and for the most part we love the life we're living. I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else. He's the best! Ten things I love about him are....

11. cultivated confidence (one to grow one, it's one of the things that attracted me to him and it keeps working)

10. hard working

9. money matters

8. when he writes..about anything

7. perfect patience with people

6. his appreciation of me being a mommy and always helping out with no complaints ever

5. he wouldn't knowingly hurt anyone, well not w/o a super good cause

4. his handsomeness, eyes, lips...you get the point

3. he always tries to be a better husband, as if he could be :)

2. the multifabulous job he does with our kids, that they have him to look to for an example

1. his desire to always be righteous and the discipline to get it right most of the time. I know his holding the priesthood makes an invaluable impact on our lives as a whole.

Has anyone seen my baby?

Hannah turned two today and it really seems like she was just born. She is such a treasure to our family. She was born the day before Cole started Kindergarten. Her life has been pretty much on the go...going to drop off, pick up, help in class, parties, plays, emergencies, etc. I'm not sure if it's a result of that or not but she's a pretty good sleeper. The first night we brought her home she was awake every 20 minutes, since then we haven't had much to complain about. She loves, milk, popcorn, belly buttons, elmo, Caillou, balls, bubbles, ballons, books, her family, going to nursery, talking talking talking, swinging, salty foods (no sweets for this chick, with the exception of ice cream). I believe she is going to be a social butterfly, possibly much more so than Cole and Laura. She loves to help clean or work in any way. I love being her mom and spending so much time with her. She is a wonderful child! Happy Birthday Hannah Nanna!



one day old


The kids wanted to sleep by Hannah the night she came home...so sweet!

Her blessing.


Pretty in pink


She'll pay me back for this one :).














Learning to crawl she would back herself under the couch.










she still loves the backpack with Daddy!

Hard at work!

This is how you would typically find her.

All grown up!!
