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!

Dr. Ellie: Sweet Dreams



Dear Ellie,

You are now almost 2 years old (21 months to be exact) and you are still the light of our lives! I cannot even keep up with writing updates on you because you are changing so fast and you are learning to do so many things I cannot even keep track! You LOVE music - singing, dancing, and listening to music. You LOVE to talk!! You know so many words and phrases and each day to say new things and dada and I find ourselves asking "Where did she learn that from???" You are the happiest little girl in the whole universe and your bright smile shows us that each day. You laugh and laugh and laugh which is always contagious!! You have been enjoying eating hamburgers, are starting to ask for Candy more often (thanks a lot Halloween!!), your appetite isn't as voracious as before but your company as restaurants is getting more pleasant! You are a HUGE Elmo and Yo Gabba Gabba fan and not a day goes by that we don't watch these shows all day long. It's a treat to get to see how excited you get at watching these shows and, of course, singing along to all the catchy tunes. I posted these pics of you sleeping in the car seat because this is a rare phenomenon! You are always on the go and getting you to sleep is quite the feat - much less in the car. Your inquisitive nature means that you never want to miss out on a moment of action - and you rarely do!

Your dada and I find ourselves constantly enamoured with you and we cannot believe that such an amazing little lady is in our lives. We ask these questions frequently, "How did you get so cute?" "How did you get so smart?" and "How did we get so blessed to have you?" You are a one in a million dream that we are thankful for each day. There are, indeed, days that we are tired and frustrated by one another but the love in our home is unquestionable.

Oh yeah, You now clearly say "I wuv you" .......

We wuv you too ladybug
