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!

Christmas Eve is here!


Ellie Mae joined us for Christmas Eve, in part because she is here in the event that Silas decides to come a bit early. We headed out to the Christmas Eve candlelight service and then came home for some tasty treats. Then we opened up our Christmas Eve pajamas and got prepared to snuggle in for the night before Santa comes.

We started a tradition where the family gets new pajamas on Christmas Eve and we also let Ellie open a select number of presents. Tonight she got some new clothes, pajamas (see picture), and Lalaloopsy nail polish! She was painting everyone and any one's nails!

This Christmas is exciting on numerous levels – first, it IS Christmas! Secondly, we are very excited for Silas to come and know that it can happen any day. We thought he may be here for Christmas but it doesn’t look like that will happen. We know that next Christmas we will have another little member of our family and that makes us super excited for what this upcoming year has to bring.
