Birthdays....

Since I have last blogged both of my boys have turned a year older! Jarom turned ONE in April and Tyson turned THREE in June! My boys are getting so big, its crazy!!!

We celebrated Jaroms birthday with family and friends at Grandpa Walkers house! Jarom loved opening his gifts, but wasnt to sure about all the attention when it came to the "Happy birthday" song and big cake:) he was crying then smiling guess he didnt really know what to think of it all:)...Jarom loved the playhouse that we got him for his birthday! He and tyson have so much fun in it!!! These pictures are over three months old of him, and he has changed a lot since his first birthday:)

This is actually a pretty current picture of Jarom! He is such a looker!!:) We love him!!












Jarom and Grandpa Walker, love this picture!






We celebrated Tys 3rd birthday in our newly finished backyard this year!!! When i asked him what kind of a party he wanted he decided on mickey mouse, so his party was mickey mouse themed!! Compleate with a jumphouse, pinata, mickey mouse cupcakes and balloons, and a brand new BSU bike!!! He loved having all his friends and family there! and was super excited to learn how to ride his new bike!











Tyson loves his Uncle Patrick!

We had to have Tysons Birthday a few weeks late because his birthday fell on fathers day weekend so on his actually birthday we took him out and had some family fun at the dairy days fair in Meridian!! It was a great day and we all had such a good time!!

I absolutly LOVE this picture of Jarom and His daddy! Jarom looks so grown up, like a little boy:)

Big Thank you to everyone who made it out to their Birthdays!!!

Motherhood: An Eternal Partnership with God

I was so grateful that I came across this message today it really touched me, and was just what I needed to hear, I have been feeling pretty down about some things, and my boys have been challenging me lately. This message uplifted me and reminded me that what I am doing is worth it, no matter how overwhelmed i become... I am reminded that I am doing Heavenly Fathers work, that what im doing matters and that I will be blessed for it.....

lucky...

My Mothers day was great! I was pampered and well taken care of, in fact i hardly lifted a finger all day :)....We spent part of our day at the park with some of our good friends, eating, playing and relaxing in the warm weather! My day ended with a nice bubble bath and a much needed massage:) Thank you Tyson for making my day so relaxing
I love my sweet boys so much, they amaze me everyday! I am so blessed to be their mother!

So I have SO many things that I want to blog about and so many pictures to share, but our home computer, the one i can put all my pictures on, is broken:( We think it got a virus so until we get it fixed i will just have to wait to update my blog! Hopefully we can get it repaired soon!! Then I will update my blog on everything weve been up to!!:)

Cherish.

Do you ever think back and really realize how fast time goes by, it seriously FLYS by!!! I especially notice this now that Im a parent... Does anyone else feel like something that happened a month ago could have seriously just happened yesterday??

I wish i could grab onto time and just make it slow down, It breaks my heart when I realize how fast my "Babies" are growing up, when this thought comes to mind, I make myself slow down take a step back and just let the moment soak in, my babies, their laughter, their sweet little smiles and innocent eyes, chubby short legs and their tiny little voices, they way that they depend on me for their everything, and yes even the whines and the cries, I just let them soak in, try to keep still pictures in my mind because one day they will be grown and time will wisp these days away.

I want to really cherish everyday the good and the bad, because I know that one day I will miss TODAY.




These pictures were both taken on Easter Sunday, exactly a year apart, Tyson is growing up so fast....








These are taken about 11 months apart! That newborn stage goes by SO fast! I can hardly belive my little baby will be 1 this month!!

Easter 2010

As my kids get older holidays become so much more fun!! We had a great Easter this year and we were really able to incorporate some great traditions. The morning started out with a letter from the "Easter Bunny" who left clues, like a mini scavenger hunt, for Tyson to find his Easter basket, the letter also reminded Tyson what the real meaning of Easter is :) The boys loved their baskets with all the goodies! And they both loved finding the eggs the Easter bunny hid :) We spent the later part of the morning watching General Conference which was absolutely amazing and so spiritually uplifting!! Afterwords went to my Dads and spent the rest of the day relaxing, hunting eggs, eating yummy food and enjoying each others company. Our boys had a blast this Easter, and we loved seeing them so happy!!
