About Me

Welcome to our blog!! This is a blog about our life, mostly from Jennifer's perspective. We were married in July 2007 at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas and then sealed together for eternity in the Albuquerque New Mexico Temple in June 2009. We welcomed Ms. Ellie Sophia into our lives on February 9, 2010 and she is absolutely the light of our lives. Then we added Silas Ian on January 4, 2013 and his smile just brightens our days. We live in Rio Rancho, New Mexico where Justin works as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and I pursue my PhD in Nursing while being a stay at home mom! Life is so chaotic but we really couldn't ask for a more perfect life!

Dear Ellie



In 2 days you will be 5 months old....5 MONTHS OLD!!! How did you get so big so fast? Where did the time go?



You are such an independent and happy little soul - you love to smile, you love to roll all over the floor, you love your little toys, you love taking naps with us, you love getting into everything, you love trying to get under the coffee table and the couch, and you love doing as much as you can on your own!! You sit in your high chair to eat, you love oatmeal and sweet potatoes, you tolerate apples/carrots/squash/and peas, you can almost sit up, you now sleep in your crib, and we can't wait to see what wonderful things you will do and become.

We are so blessed by you each day and so very much love you!! Life before you seems as a blur, and we often wish we would have had you a few years ago so our life then could have been filled with your beautiful smile, your infectious laugh, and your mere presence. We are so incredibly thankful for you each day and each moment - even the ones where you cry, get frustrated, or flat out cranky pants!! You are now our life and we wouldn't have it any other way!!

So Happy early 5 month Birthday ladybug!!!! Here is to an eternity of memories to come....

We love you!
Mommy and daddy

delays

This past month has been killer. Therefore my blogging has seriously declined. School. Work. Travel. Baby. Family. Tests. Repeat.

I know no one cares what Justin and I have been up to SOOO I will skip it and just update the masses on Ms. Ellie. She has learned to do so many new things in just the past month - here are a few highlights:


Learning new things:

Resting

Having fun in my stroller

Sleeping in my crib

Learning to suck my thumb

Going out to eat

Holding my own bottle

Smiling

Going on a trip

Playing with my ball

Being silly with mom

Being happy!!!
