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!

Feeding the monster

Ellie has been working on feeding herself for a LONG time....she started "using" a spoon a really long time ago (like around 8 months or so) and then kinda dropped doing it and several months ago regained interest. I cannot stand the mess it makes on her, her high chair, on the floor, and on me....so I would usually just feed her however she no longer just 'lets' me do anything any more. I miss those days...
