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!

Official...

Dear Ellie,

You are officially one year old today. The big 0-1. Yup, it's official.


Happy 1st Birthday Ellie Bellie!!!

My how time has flown by. It seems as though you were just born but now you have already experienced one full year of life. You were so small you were easily cradled in our arms and now you are over half my height. You have 6 teeth, your hair is beginning to show hint of a curl, your beautiful blue eyes twinkle every time you laugh, you love to say "hi" and do so with a wave, your little hands now find mischief and your little feet now can walk you wherever you want to go.

We already feel so proud of all that you can do.

We love you more and more each day so much so that our hearts flood over with love for you. I hope that you have loved your first year here on earth with us. We are looking forward to many many more years of fun, laughter, learning and love!!

Psalm 139: 13-18

For You formed my inward parts;
     You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
     Wonderful are Your works,
     And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
      When I was made in secret,
       And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
      And in Your book were all written
      The days that were ordained for me,
      When as yet there was not one of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
      How vast is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.
     When I awake, I am still with You.
 


We love you to infinity and beyond ladybug,
Mama and Dada
