Our little man is 9 months today. I love him more than ever!
His face after his first Reese's Peanut Butter Cup- pure Bliss!

He gets his DOC band off next week and I am so excited! Poor guy had to deal with his first Phoenix summer with a helmet- AWFUL! But so happy we chose to do it- his neck and head are doing excellent!
My luv muffin surprised me with this little beauty
This is the first piano I have ever owned and am SO SO ecstatic about it!
The day I got it I wasn't expecting it at all. The doorbell rang so I answered it, and in front of me stood a man holding a piano bench and asked me where he would like me to put it. As I was just about to explain that sadly he was at the wrong house, Bo popped out and told him where to put it. I just stood there staring and started shaking as I realized what was truly happening. I have been waiting for this day for a LONG LONG time. As I played it for the first time I had tears streaming down my face and just cried.
These were tears of JOY because I knew I could now have fingers that were tired from playing my favorite pieces, a place where I can surge all my emotions, and most importantly- a house full of music. I am so excited to be able to teach my children to play, have family sing -a- longs, and invite the spirit of peace into my home with music.
Can you believe my hunny buns turned 25 last week? How has time flown by this quickly?? His very first birthday we celebrated together he was turning 18...and now we celebrated the big QUARTER CENTURY! WOW we are getting old!!
Since his birthday was on a Monday, we felt it was necessary to celebrate all weekend long. We did the birthday shop, went out to eat, went swimming, ate more yummy food, and had parties with both families.
I love my Bo. He has the biggest heart and is one of the sweetest people I know. He is so selfless and treats me like Gold. I love how happy he makes me and how he is always keeping me smiling. I truly am so BLESSED to have married such a GREAT guy. Bo, I love you forever!
Cooper is 6 months old! It's been a bittersweet day for me celebrating this milestone- loving having this little guy in my life but sad to see him growing up SO fast. Cooper has been so fun this past month as "giggle fits" are his newest way to get Mommy's attention. I LOVE IT! These past 6 months with him have flown by and I've loved every minute of it. Cooper I love you dearly- HAPPY 1/2 BIRTHDAY!
Today I am grateful for life. I'm grateful for everything that comes with it good and bad. I'm grateful for my little man and my big man. I'm grateful for the sunshine. Most importantly I'm grateful for my testimony of Jesus Christ. He lives and is aware of each of us. I love having up all of my Easter decorations and constantly being reminded of him, his gracious life, and his sweet sacrifice. LIFE IS GOOD.
Valentine’s Day was special in a different way for our little family this year as it was spent in the E.R. Yes, 7 lovely hours just sitting waiting to see the Doc.
Cooper started getting sick 2 weeks ago and the pediatrician’s office told me not to come in that he had “croup” and it would get better soon. Well it didn’t, and Sunday night he got even worse. Valentine’s morning he was throwing up because he was coughing so hard- my poor Mr. L- so I called the Dr., “we’re completely full,” they told me, “your kid’s not the only one who is sick”. Oh how comforting, I don’t care lady my child MUST get in today. So reluctantly she gave me an appointment for 3pm. Well at 11am Cooper’s little face started turning blueish gray around his mouth- this was obviously bad, no time to wait for our appointment at 3 so away to the E.R. we went. Luckily my cute hubby decided to surprise me and work a half day so we could spend Valentine’s together- so sweet of him J- but little did he know he would just be sitting with me at the hospital.
So 7 hours later we FINALLY left the hospital with a nebulizer in hand. Our poor Mr. Cooper has RSV.
Valentines Day did not go as planned but I’m so happy to know what’s wrong with my baby and am ready to love him back to health.
Here are some updated pics of the fellow. Oh and he turned 12 weeks today and weighs 15lbs 1 oz. Yes he is his father’s son!
Love his eyes in this one
Look at that belly

It's funny how when he has a fussy moment all I could ask for is silence, but that as soon as he is asleep I'm worried because it's "too quiet". Or that I wake up and all I want from the day are a few smiles, a couple giggles, and a lot of snuggle time. Yes, my whole perception about life has changed and it's all thanks to this Mommy business. Can't Believe is has been 2 months...time flies when you get to spend everyday with such a CUTIE.
