Mr. T takes his first step...and his first duel!!!

The first duel

I love that face

He's walking...watch-out world!!!

i have become keenly aware that our family consists of mostly boys. my baby took his first steps and two days later I was making breakfast and I looked behind me to see this adorable little boy barely balancing in his diaper. he was holding a long knights sword and he had the biggest grin. he and ayden immediately began a duel and he has been holding onto that sword ever since! boys...we've got some pretty cute ones!

Chalk Bluffs...What a great trip!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. A

Happy Birthday Ayden!!!
so my little A turned three today and what a day it has been. i adore ayden. as we sat around the table at dinner tonight we all said some of the things that we love about ayden and as I listened to my kids and jaron's responses and couldn't help but tear-up a little. ayden is life!!! he is joy. he is the definition of childhood. he has a smile that melts all hearts and is mischievous enough that I always have to keep my eye on him.
i love how whenever ayden wakes-up he comes right to mommy for our morning cuddles.
this past year ayden has learned how to be such an incredible big brother, swim, be brave with our new puppy (he is so amazing with Belle) and so much more.
i am so proud of you mr. a. you are a blessing and my heart wouldn't be completely without you and your love.
