I can't believe Jaxon is 3 years old!

dear jaxon,
3 years ago today, 6 lbs. 9 oz. at 9:01 a.m., you came into our family. we were so scared and excited to meet you and couldn't wait to get to know you and watch you grow. you make us laugh everyday and are amazed at your ability to learn and forgive and befriend anyone. you are so handsome and have such an amazing personality, we've learned so much and continue to learn from you every day. now that you're here and we have been able to learn and play with you for the past 3 years, i can't imagine life without you in it. you are the best big brother, and are so glad at how much you love your 'peytee' and want to include her in everything you do. you have kept us running since day one, and i can't wait for the years to come. we love you so much and are so blessed to have you a part of our family. happy birthday 'bow-day':)!
love, mommy and daddy

I might be a Nerd.....

.......but i don't care:) woo woo! i can't wait for new moon to come out in theaters this friday! We LOVE Jacob, he's awesome. i'll be honest, me and my husband have read the twilight series twice together and we love them. i'm not a weird, crazed, obsessed fan, but i like it when kaden and i can find a book or series of books that we enjoy. i wish i read more but i'm glad when books like these come out, cuz then i get reading and inspires me to read other books too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL MOM

Today is my mom's "29th" Birthday! I just want everyone who doesn't know her to know what an amazing person she is. I want her to know how much i love her and appreciate everything she has done for me and my family. My kids love her, she is an amazing grannie:) She has always supported me in everything i've done, even when i didn't deserve it. She is the closest thing to perfect as i've ever known and i love her:) She's been the greatest example in love, kindness, patience, hard work, family, loving our heavenly father, being a great spouse and so much more. I LOVE YOU MOM! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
