happy birthday to my love.

it's my guys birthday today!

happy birthday robert!

i love this guy so much.

he is my very best friend and he makes my days so fun.

he evens me out when needed and can make me laugh easily.

he is such a giver.

we are different in so many ways which keeps things interesting. :)

he is the best dad.

he is a hardworker and provides so well for our little family.

i am so thankful for him.

happy love day.

i am addicted to love.

there are so many different relationships where love is felt.

some are more meaningful then others and have deeper roots - but all types of love are special.

love can makes us have emotions over the moon or send us into a ball full of saddness.

love is the simplest of feelings at times and the most complicated at other moments.

i love the complexity of it.

i can't imagine a world without love.

i am surrounded by so much love and if i want to do one thing well it is to love.

Thoughts on Motherhood - 4 Months In

                                                                                       I have wanted to be a mom my whole life. 

When I was little I loved babies.  Real babies.  Fake babies.

I started babysitting as soon as possible.  You get the idea I am sure. :) 

4 months into motherhood and its all i thought it would be and more.

I am surprised on how much my love continues to grow for Nash everyday.

I thought that my love towards Nash would be instant and constistently
the same the first time I laid eyes on him.

Of course my love towards him was instant.
But it is surprising to me how much I love him more and more each and everyday when I don't feel like it is humanly possible to love him any more than I already do.

It is the best feeling.

I am addicted.

It has opened my eyes on how God loves each and everyone of us as His children.

That is a lot of love.

Seeing your baby smile for the first time melts you.

Hearing your baby laugh is enough to throw you over the edge. 

Literally the sweetest sound I have ever heard.

Watching him interact with me and everyone else is simply awesome.

Seeing Robert become a dad is the sweetest thing.

I am priveledged to have a front seat to it.

He is the cutest with him and I so look forward to watching them do things together as Nash gets older.

Life with a child is so much sweeter than life before.

Of course you don't know what you are missing out on until you have children of your own.

But I wouldn't go back. And if I would have known what this feeling felt like I might have started adopting babies when I was 18.

Good think I didn't know the feeling.

Life is good.  Life is sweet.

fall colors

Living in Utah definitely has its perks and one of those is the 

gorgeous fall colors that happen each year.  

We are seriously spoiled!  

It is so breathtaking driving through the mountains - It is one of our favorite
things to do on Sundays.

This is the first of our annual fall colors drive tradition.  It is going to be a must each year.  

We couldn't resist getting some sweet pictures with Nash.

Scenes from our weekend.

Last weekend we went to Kingfisher Bend Ranch in Wyoming. 

Robert's family had there annual family reunion. 

Here are some pictures from the weekend. 

The ranch is so pretty. 

I could just sit and soak up the scenery all weekend.

35 Week Belly

To our baby bean, 

I cannot believe we are this far along.  We have exactly one month until your due date which is both exciting and a little frightening all at the same time.  I can't wait to meet you and get to know you but I also like the thought of you safe inside of my belly.  

I sit around and think a lot about how life will be once you are here.  I honestly have a hard time imagining it.  I know it is going to be great and I will never want to go to how life was before but it is hard to imagine. You are the one who is going to make me a mom!  All of those feelings and emotions have never been felt before and I am so glad you are the one that will be teaching me all of those things.  

Love, 

your mom  

Dad got in on the action this week. We need to let that happen more!
