Christmas Party

K i had to post this picture... Taggarts face is priceless...
He is such a sweetheart
Taggart and Santa
Hunter and Santa.... he still doesn't quite get who Santa is but he liked getting a present...


I love Matts family so much.... Thanks Santa for stopping by!

I love My family....

So although sometimes I want to run away... I truly love my family. This week has been quite the adjustment, I started my new job working part time at Davids Bridal. I love being able to get away and do something I enjoy... but i still feel guilty for leaving the boys for everyone else to take care of. Our house is coming along... we are all framed up we are just waiting on the roof... ya it would have been nice to have it on before the snow storms but what do you do? I am not looking forward to the snow , Matt does snow removal in the Winter so he is always gone. I am not really ready for Christmas... I t has been fun to shop for Hunter but I have no clue what to get Taggart... We are going to be really practical this year.... I just want to express my gratitude for Matt and I having jobs , I know a lot of people have lost their jobs and are struggling, my heart and prayers go out to them.... I know that times are going to get hard but I believe that if we do what we are supposed to we will be blessed.

My Eternal Companion....

So tonight we went to Matts parents to have scripture study with his brothers and sisters... I love studying with Matts dad because he is so knowlegeable and really helps you look deeper into the scriptures... But like I always do I went home feeling like I am not living up to my full potential.... I am so lucky to have the gospel in my life and I feel like I take it for granted. I know that one of the things that attracted me most to Matt was not his ripped body or dashing good looks but his testimony and love for the gospel. I know that a lot of people say that but actually it was on a night that Matt and I were reading the scriptures together that both of us say that we knew that we were "at the right place at the right time" I have always had a testimony but Matt really made me take a step back and ask myself why I felt the way I did which made me appreciate it even more..... Now those of you that know us know that we argue a lot.... in fact our families probably think that we hate eachother :) But I know that he is my Eternal Companion and we really do complete eachother. He is not only a hard worker but he is an amazing father who is so hands on and loves me unconditionally..... I am very lucky to have him and I hope he knows how much he means to me... I can remember taking out my endownments and seeing his in the temple was the best feeling I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCEED. He is my everything and I love him. I don't know how I got lucky enough to have 3 such wonderful boys in my life but I'm not going to question it... I like being spoiled! :)

He's officially big....

I feel like I haven't posted very much about Hunter lately.... As you can see in the picture above he is no longer a baby.... I cannot get over how smart this kid is. I swear he thinks he's 12. This is him on the plane ride to San Diego... He sat in his own seat and watched Barney.... I am amazed by how quickly he learned which buttons to push to turn it on, play... and even the button to start over his favorite part.... Everywhere we went if he saw anything even remotely related to football whether it be a football game on t.v. an actual football or even someone just wearing a jersey, he could spot it and would yell " Ball Ball" which means football.... I think he has a slight obsession. 

In this picture you can see that we had him wear one of those monkey harness things and he loved it! We definitely got some stares from some but most people made it a point to tell him how  cute he looked! (I think he already has a high enough self esteem.... ) But that is what I love so much about my sweet hunter...  He's got more personality then we can handle and has a magic way of growing devil horns that can disappear as fast as they grew. He is very affectionate sometimes too much and if he is in a kissing mood he will kiss strangers ( don't worry i don't let him) He is a very loving big brother and loves to be right in Tags face at all times... I love watching him sleep and love hearing his laugh.... I just love him.... I know sometimes I can loose my patience with him but he always forgives me.... that's unconditional love right there.... he is my life and I am blessed to be a part of his.... Mom loves you....

My sweet boy...

So how can I express how much I love this boy.... He has totally captured my heart. I love how even if I am having the worst day, his sweet little smile makes everything make sense, I totally realize what a treasure he is and I am so honored to be his mother. I am a believer that all things happen for a reason and I know that there is a definite reason why he is mine....... I thank my Heavenly Father for loving and trusting me enough to bless me with such a sweet spirit.... I love you my sweet Taggy...... I'll like you forever , I'll love you for always..... As long as I'm living.... my baby you'll be....

Blessing Boys.....

                                                                 Taggart 3 months old...
                                                                  Hunter 3 months old

So Taggart is finally healthy enough to bless him.... I have been really nervous to take him to church because I didn't want him to get sick, but I had to post the picture of Hunter in the same blessing outfit.... It's funny to see how different they look.....
