HaPpy FIrSt BiRthDay JoSiaH!!!

Today is our youngest son Josiah's first birthday.. it's hard to believe a whole year has passed... this past week I have been reflecting back to this time last year.... as we were walking up to my middle sons parent conference, I got a little flashback of last year, when we were at my daughter's parent conf. at 7pm and I delivered him by 9pm... it was an amazingly easy delivery.... let's see at one years old Josiah is 29 lbs. and 32 inches long, he has 4 teeth with a couple on the way, he walked at 11 months, and his first word was ball. he knows how to ask me for a bottle and shoots his pacifier out of his mouth when he sees food. He points at everything..and likes to look at books.. he is a good eater but is not quite chewing food yet... he loves his brothers and sisters and wants to play outside with them all the time, he loves to play with daddy.but when its time to cuddle he wants mamma, he loves playhouse disney, and gets all excited when the monkey mail comes on. he makes us laugh everyday..... and you can't help but love his contagious smile... Josiah... we love you.... Happy birthday baby boy..... !!

Look what I can do.......

This past saturday, my ward had a super saturday craft day, we made lots of things, but the one i'm most proud of is the pillow case I made for josiah since I've never sewed before. I picked out the fabcic, yes we all know I love giraffes so of course thats the fabric I wanted.... well with some help, I made this beautiful pillow case, I think I might like sewing now.. and want to get a sewing machine.... anyways here is a before and after picture.....

I didn't feel like posting.... so here is pictures from jayden's birthday.... he had a great day My dad and my brother and his girlfriend cam up to celebrate with us, he got a cool race track and a big thing to put his cars in... thanks for the birthday wishes and for the presents..... he loves them.... I know it looks like I got more pics of Josiah, but thats because Jayden was hard to get pics of... he ran around playing games all night...

A friend gone, an angel gained.

Early this morning My dear friend Shannon Royer Passed on and returned home to our father in heaven, She was such a young, beautiful, amazing,smart,big hearted,strong lady,Who would light up a room anytime she walked in. Although I know she is no longer in any pain or is no longer suffering, I can't help but be a little selfish and wish she was here. I will never forget the day we met, from that day forward our friendship just blossomed, She taught me so much. my most precious memories will be our drives to morning workout, I always had so many questions about the church since I am a convert, and she always always was there to answer all my questions, and explain things to me so I would understand. I miss her so much already, I will miss our walks we used to go on, I will miss the many laughs and good times we had, I will miss our monthly trips to olive garden, I will miss going to lunch bunch with her and sitting next to her In relief society, even though I am older than her I always looked up to her. I am going to miss everything about her, she Is such an amazing soul who always remained so strong though out her trials. her strength and faith was amazing. Shannon I love you and miss you dearly. Thank you so much for your friendship and for everything you have done for me.
