I Love You

I am your PARENT, you are my CHILD
I am your QUIET PLACE, you are my WILD

I am your CALM FACE, you are my GIGGLE
I am your WAIT, you are my WIGGLE

I am your DINNER, you are my CHOCOLATE CAKE
I am your BEDTIME, you are my WIDE AWAKE

I am your LULLABY, you are my PEEKABOO
I am your GOODNIGHT KISS, you are my I LOVE YOU

Grandpa Moralez

My grandpa Moralez is one of the men I look up to in my life. He has loved me unconditionally and has always wanted the absolute best for me.
Back in October, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. He has been so strong during his Chemo and radiation treatments. Both his and my grandma's faith and prayers have guided them in this hard time. I had great comfort in knowing that he accepted a blessing from the missionaries that visit my dad. I know that he felt the spirit. After about 3 months of treatments his cancer is gone. I cannot even fully express in words how thankful I am that I can say that. I am sooo thankful that Heavenly Father has answered our family's prayers. We are so very blessed.

Journey

A boy and a girl who took a chance
On love and all that crazy romance

When you proposed
Our hearts were exposed

Our love has grown stronger since the day we said "I do"
Our lives joined together when I married you

Loving, laughing and living each day
These moments in time will never fade away

Our love is eternal
We receive blessings from above
You are my every thing
You are the man I love

Our little family is growing, as it went from two of us to three
Our sweet baby boy is a part of you and a part of me

We watch him grow bigger and stronger each day
He brings us closer together as we watch him smile and play

I love you now more than I ever have before
You and our little boy are who I live for

As our journey continues, I want you to know
I am so blessed to have you in my life
I am one lucky lady
I am thankful to be your wife

Happy Valentine's Day!

"future Mr. Right"

Happy Birthday to me!

Another year, another birthday!
This year we decided to spend my birthday down in Burley, which I haven't done in awhile. Before we left, Brandee and the kids brought me a giant birthday cookie! Then while in Burley, Brian decided to have a little surprise party for me, which I've never had! Have I mentioned he is soo sweet! Thank you to all who celebrated with me and for all the birthday wishes!!

Rice cereal

We gave Vaughn his first taste of rice cereal when he was about 4 1/2 months old. He seems to like it and always wants to grab the spoon!

sock monkey hat

These pictures were taken when Vaughn was 3 months old. A friend from our church, Rebecca of {be} photography of Idaho took them. She is the same person who took his newborn pictures. I just LOVE her photography! I had wanted to get him in this hat when we did his newborn pics but we ran out of time before he got fussy. So I am thankful that she was able to do this photo shoot later on!

Mornings

Every day is a good day when you wake up to a face like this!

4 month checkup

Vaughn turned 4 months old in January. I cant believe time is going sooo fast!!! His checkup went well. He is in the 90th percentile for height and 30th for weight. Doctor said he is growing good. I always feel soo bad when it is time for Vaughn to get his shots...I am so glad Brian was able to go with us this time!
