Thanksgiving 2012

I wanted to dedicate this post to reflecting on the things I am grateful for, a few of the very many blessings that I have. I am so incredibly grateful for my amazing family, for my wonderful husband that has dedicated himself to a very difficult schedule so he can provide for his family and keep me home with our children.  I am so impressed with his strength and determination.  I am so proud of him.  He is an amazing father and husband!

  

I am also grateful for my two beautiful and healthy daughters, I can't even imagine life without them.   Kenlee is so full of energy and happiness.  She also has a lot of spunk and sass.  She amazes me everyday with how much she has learned.  She loves the gospel and her Heavenly Father and makes me want to be a better person to be worthy to be her mother. 

 Jordyn is a bundle of energy and smiles.  Even when she is suffering you can hardly guess because of all her smiles and giggles.  I love to hear her laugh and watch her grow and learn. You can't help but smile and laugh with her. She is also so cuddly and I love to soak up every moment I can. She is an amazing light in my life.

I am grateful for my parents and siblings who are always there to help me.  I always know I can count on them when I have had a long day or something has gone wrong.  My mother is always there to listen to my petty problems.  My dad can fix anything and is always willing to make sure I don't have to spend more then I should on a problem.  My sisters are my besties, forever and always.  I can't go more then a day without talking to them or it feels weird and empty.  My brothers are always amazing with my little girls, they love their uncles.  Kenlee always wants to see her aunt's and uncles.  I am also grateful for Brock and Colton who married in (or almost) to my craziness but always seem to be willing to deal with me and help where they can.  

I am thankful for the gospel.  I have really grown to love the gospel in the last year.  I have been attending an institute class since this summer and I find myself craving to learn more about the scriptures and our Heavenly Fathers plan for us.  I find comfort in our Fathers plan for us and hope I can countinue to teach my children about Our Savior.

Our Family

8 Months and Loving Life

Well I am very late writing this post since Jordyn is almost 9 months old but I guess better late then never.....

Jordyn has changed a lot lately, she grows and develops more and more everyday.  She has become very mobile, her favorite mode of transportation is a very swim-like army crawl. In the last week and a half she has finally decided there is a time and a place for a true crawl but it usually doesn't last long because she is faster in her army crawl mode.  

She is also a very big tease already.... she loves to laugh and to be the cause of silliness.

Jordyn still loves Kenlee..... as long as Kenlee isn't right in her face.... Jordyn defiantly has a bubble  that she only lets people into for a short period of time, unfortunately Kenlee doesn't catch the signs of her time being up. They are both adjusting to this new phase of Jordyn being mobile.  Everyday they get a little closer.

They love to watch morning cartoons together, several mornings this is what I found when I came around the corner.....

So sweet!

 Jorydn's big cheesy binkie smile...

I kept putting off Jordyn's pictures for "a better time/a better day." Finally I realized she was almost 8 1/2 months old and decided to hurry one Sunday morning to take her pictures.  I didn't get alot of good ones in my rush but here are a few of them....

She still loves to scrunch up her nose...

Her hair is getting longer and funnier to play with....

Sister got her minnie doll for her.....

Oh thanks sissy..... She loves her minnie!

Well, I promise to be better about my updates but there is a little update about our sweet little girl.
