Happy Birthday Claire!

It was three years ago today that I became a mother for the first time. Words can't really express the overwhelming feelings that I had that day, but I can honestly say that it was one of the best experiences of my life. As I looked into the eyes of this perfect baby, I knew that my life would never be the same. She has taught me how to love to a greater capacity than I ever imagined, and how to truly think of someone else's needs before my own. I am so grateful we have her in our family and that heavenly father has entrusted us to care for her. She truly is such an amazing little girl!

 

 

Claire, 

You are an amazing little spirit inside and out. You bring so much joy to our family and you are the world's best big sister. You love Oliver so much, and are more concerned about his well being than your own. He looks up to you, and loves you as much you do him. We are so excited to watch your relationship grow over the years to come. Daddy & I are so proud of you and we love you so much Claire Bear. 

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Oliver is ONE!!

Oliver's birthday was this last Monday, & we had a great time celebrating with our big boy.

Happy Birthday!!

Today is Jonathan's birthday (the picture is us at the Angels game celebrating). This is the third birthday he has had since we have been together, and I love being able to spoil him for a day (any other day he won't let me). I am so grateful for my husband and the person he is. He is funny, intelligent, nurturing, hard-working, selfless, and he makes me feel so incredibly love. We truly are a perfect match for one another and he is my best friend. I am so grateful to be married to Jonathan in the temple, so that we can be together forever. Thank you for everything babe. I love you!
