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!

Lunch at the aquarium and botanical gardens

Sometimes I get in a rut and all I want to do is stay home. It is so hard to go out with two little ones and Silas is so young that he requires a lot of extra prep work to take out.

Today I decided we were heading out. I piled them in the car and announced we were having lunch at the Cafe at the aquarium and cheers ensued. Or so my story goes.

Here is Ellie getting ready to order!

Working on her fabulous table artwork

Final project: "It's me and mama with glasses"

The staff here were so friendly to her and she managed to get one of the waitresses to let her use this sharpie to draw with because they had no crayons.
This girl could sell ice to and Eskimo.

Going to check out the butterflies
Ellie just loved this place!

 She was trying to sit ever so still so a butterfly would land on her!


 This is her "Stop taking pictures of me" face

It was a "big" outing for us and I know that every one had a blast....myself included. I know I need to get out and about more often and I am going to make every concerted effort to do so! There is so much to do and so much to see and we need to start getting out!
