Happy 3rd Birthday Logan!!

Three years ago today I was in the hospital holding my new little angel boy Logan! It was definitely a surprise to me that I was holding a boy, because I was more than 100% sure that the baby was going to be a girl! (Jared and I choose not to find out what the baby was, because we already had a girl and a boy!) Boy, was my mothers instinct wrong!! =) Fast forward three years, and I couldn't be happier that Logan joined our family. Logan is such a funny little guy. He's a little (ok, ALOT) mischievous and is always getting into something. But, it's hard to be mad at him because his sweet little face justs melts my heart. This last year has been so fun to see his personality develop! He has become quite the chatterbox!

I'm so grateful that I was choosen to be Logan's mother. He truly is a blessing to our family! We love you Logan, Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Anniversary...Part Two

Today Jared and I celebrate another wonderful anniversary. Four years ago today, Jared and I entered the temple and were sealed for time and all eternity. Kaitlin and Jayden then were sealed to us, to make us an eternal family. What a special day that was..one I will never forget.

Jared, I'm so glad I get you all to myself for time and all eternity. You are an amazing husband and father. You always ask what made me attracted to you, and my answer would be....EVERYTHING! It's hard to explain, but I was just drawn to you...cue music-the circle of our love is found in every warm and tender thing! haha

Thank you for being you and loving all of me! You are truly amazing!! Happy Anniversary...Part Two!!

Happy Anniversary!

Well I have hijacked the blog today to tell my wife Happy Anniversary! Wow I can't believe it has been seven years of marriage and nine since we started dating. Brianne you are beautiful in so many ways, from being the most loving mother, to being able to understand and love me like no one else could. As I have said many times you are the MOST BEAUTIFUL woman i have ever known, even when you wake up in the middle of the night you have that "how do you look good even now" type of beauty.

Bri you have such a sincere love for our children, myself and our family. For many years you have kept me grounded and have made me realize (slowly but surely) that being kind and loving to people can take you so much further in life. I love that you get me...you know my sarcastic inside jokes, you know when I am pulling your chain and you know how to always make me fell better.

Brianne I love you...Happy Anniversary!

.... Gavin is big enough for the kitchen sink tub!! Gavin is now pretty good at sitting up on his own, so he has advanced to the kitchen sink for bathtime. He was having a blast tonight splashing all over. I could hardly get a decent picture of him, because he was just watching the water go everywhere, and would not look at me!! My baby is just growing up way too fast!!

Our New Home

Well it is time to move on. We are excited about our new place, and the kids are excited to be in Dan & Lydia's ward (Jared's brother) so they can be with their cousins, and that they have such a big back yard to play in. Sometimes in life it is hard to make those big decisions for fear that it may not be the right one; however with this one everything fell into place and we just knew it was right. In fact we were a little bummed out because the kids new school did not have a pre-school for Jayden in the past and we needed to transfer Kaitlin to their first grade, when we called they told us that there was one spot left in first grade and that on September 15 they start pre-school for the first time, it happened at the perfect time!

Also Nana & Papa are excited to have us closer, and we know Grandma Janis is sad we are leaving her ward and have been so close to her for the last seven years, we love you Mom! Well I have been floating on cloud nine this week in excitement. Here is to the next steps in this life.

Also here are some pictures and details of the new place.
