Jaidyn is turning 5!

My little man Jaidyn is turning 5 on Sunday and I just want to share with you how much I love him and am so proud to be his mother.  He's an amazing little guy with so much spirit and sweetness in him.  Up until just recently he's been a mamma's boy but lately he's becoming a daddy's boy and Hannah is becoming a mamma's girl.  I'm so grateful to be his mother and am constantly reminded daily of his awesomeness and closeness with his Heavenly Father.  Here's some pictures through the years... I love you Jaidyn!  The picture at the bottom shows his tenderness in a nutshell...

 

Another tooth lost!

Hannah wanted me to share with you her lost tooth!  She was so excited as you can see by the pictures.  Today is also her 6th birthday and on the eve of her 5th b-day she lost her first tooth, she she followed suit last night and lost #3.  Off to have birthday dinner and cake now!    
         

The TRUTH

This is what I'm craving right now!

Hannah Banana!

My beautiful daughter is turning 6 on Thursday and I'm so proud of her.  You all should know how amazing she is but I'll tell it from my biased opinion.  She's reading, she's spelling on her own, she's loving, caring and very head strong just like me.  We butt heads a lot since we don't want to back down.  She's an amazing daughter and I am so proud to be her mother.  More like to be chosen to be her mother by a loving Heavenly Father to be her mother.  Here's a few pictures of her from the beginning to now.  Happy Birthday Hannah, I love you.

New Years

This year I'm saying good bye to too much sugar, carbonation and exercising just a bit more.  I've been overweight for far too long and am now ready to change that. 

This past year was better than the last and I'm looking forward to 2010 being even better than 2009.  I'm grateful for the path my life has led me to, trials and all.  I'm grateful for my awesome husband and amazing children.  I'm truly lucky to have such amazing people in my life.  I'm also grateful for my reuniting with my father and for the exciting path that will take me on. 

I wish the best for you this new year and hope you have an amazing journey.

Update

I had my surgery today and it was discoverd that only my right fallopian tube didn't stay sealed after having it done after Jaidyn was born.  My Dr. was also kind enough to take some pictures for me.  I now have shots of among other things, a kidney and my liver.  Pretty fun I think!  I was so sad to have to go in after the possibility of maybe being able to have another baby again but it would have ended up putting my life in extreme danger having to terminate which is something I personally would really struggle with.  All in all, I know what I did was right and I'm so grateful for loving and supportive family and friends.  I appreciate you all!

Temple Square lights!

Merry Christmas!!
