First Family Photos!

Almost 5 years ago... we were LUCKY enough to find Rebecca to take our wedding pics. We feel in love with her! She was such a great photographer and her work was amazing. She's been hired by many of my family/friends for their weddings as well and she NEVER disappoints. She is so talented. Naturally, when Danzer was born, I knew I wanted her to take our first family photos. Of course I shouldn't be surprised that I was so excited for the results.. she did amazing! To see some of our pics, you can link to her blog: Photo Art By Rebecca. Thanks Rebecca for doing such a wonderful job! We can't wait to see the rest!

Two Months!

Today is Danzer's Two Month Birthday! We can't believe it! He has gotten SO BIG already! It makes us sad! I went through and cleaned out his newborn clothes and I couldn't believe how much he's grown! We weighed him at home and we are estimating about 14 lbs and 22 inches long! HOLY COW! This kid obviously enjoys eating! Hayden looked up his growth and he is off the charts in weight and is in the 90th percentile for height! Geezo!! He smiles a lot now and LOVES to cuddle (my favorite part!). HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUBBA-KINS! WE LOVE YOU!

Today...

I was going about my normal afternoon. Washing dishes, folding laundry, making the bed. I was walking back from Danzer's room after putting away his pile of clothes that look like they have gone through 3 children instead of just 1 (he pukes a lot, therefore, I wash a lot) and I was thinking about a friend who is going through an extremely hard time right now. Her whole life has been thrown upside down. My heart aches for this friend and I can't seem to get her off my mind. As I said a little prayer for her in my heart, I came around the corner and saw this...

My eyes instantly welled with tears. I am SO thankful for him. No matter how sad or down I am sometimes, he makes my heart happy. This dear friend has beautiful children of her own, and I know that they will help her get through this difficult time. They will make her smile while she is down, they will make her laugh when she feels like crying, they will hug her when she needs a love. I am so THANKFUL to God for giving us these precious little souls to have for this short time we call life. They are what it's all about. I can't imagine my life without him. He inspires me everyday to be the very best mommy, wife, and person I can be. I leave you with a couple more pictures that make my heart melt...

Danzer's Blessing

Today was the most amazing day! Danzer was blessed!! Hayden did an AMAZING job blessing him. I was a crying mess. You know, I was thinking as I was watching Hayden walking back to me with our son that the blessing Hayden gave him was so wonderful and I hope and pray that everything Hayden blessed him with will happen, but we are the ones who are truly blessed. This little boy is the best thing in the entire world. Hayden and I are overwhelmed with gratitude to the Lord for this amazing blessing. Some of you may not know how long Hayden and I tried to have a baby. There were many nights and days on our knees in prayer, fasting, trips to the temple, and although it didn't happen right away, we knew that if we were faithful and steadfast, it would happen. And when we least expected it... we found out we were pregnant. The Lord hears each one of us and knows the desires of our hearts. I am so thankful to him and am full of extreme gratitude for Danzer. I could never ask for anything better. I sit and wonder why I am SOOO lucky. An AMAZING family, a BEAUTIFUL baby, and families that surround us and fill our lives with so much happiness and support. Here are pics from the day...

Mommy's New Ride...

So I had a talk with Daddy the other night. I was telling him how Mommy was struggling getting me in and out of the car because she is so tall. There were even a couple times she smacked her head on the car.... Mommy cussed a couple times! Woops! I told Daddy that my stroller took up the entire trunk and that I thought we needed a little more room. So what did my Daddy do? He went and bought Mommy a new car! Check out our new ride? Now me and Mommy are pimpin' in style! Woo Hoo! Daddy, you're the BEST!

P.S. For any of you Emery County locals... Hunstman's is back in business and Troy was AWESOME to work with! We went in and told him what we were looking for and he found us a car that day! Not to mention there was no slimy sales guy tactics. Just a friendly business man looking to please his customers! So refreshing!!!

Ugly Duckling? I THINK NOT!

Oh my! Danzer was a duck for Halloween! He is SO DANG ADORABLE! Check him out...

My mom and I were up in SLC a couple days before Halloween and were supposed to come home Halloween Day so Hayden and I could take Danzer trick or treating for the first time. Hayden ended up getting really really sick and thought it was best we stayed in SLC an extra day so Danzer wouldn't get sick. So we got to go trick or treating with the girls! It was so much fun! Although we missed daddy, we had a blast! Check out my cute witches and lady bug! SO CUTE!

Smiles!

Danzer started smiling a while ago, but it's so hard to catch it on camera! Finally... Hayden was able to grab the camera fast enough!

He also LOVES baths now. I LOVE giving them to him because the entire time he stares at me like this...
