I Will Never Forget You - Sweet Angel of Mine

I barely got to hold you, and kiss your little head. I'll never watch you sleeping soundly, all snuggled in your bed. I can't count your fingers, or your tiny toes. I won't see your smile, or your cute little button nose. I know you are in heaven, where there's no pain or tears. You'll never have a broken heart, or have to face your fears. And though I'm sad you're not here right now, for us to hold today I know we'll hold you in our arms, When we're in heaven with you someday. Sweet angel of mine - I think of you often and feel your spirit presence near. I love you with all of the fibers a mother is capable of possessing. I hope you are running with the angels (especially Grandpa Great) and having a birthday party in the sky. XOXO

11 DoWn 1 MoRe To Go

Our little squishy is so close to 1 - it's scary!!! This last month has been a month of "new" for Kimbree Jo. She is taking solid steps now, she mocks sounds, and her vocabulary is ever growing. She's a climber,she loves to climb the stair case and onto different toys. She had her first ear infection :( no fun and loads of crappy diapers - a $hitty deal all the way around for poor squish. Her personality and voice are growing by volumes daily. We say she's a sassy girl - probably not the best idea to put in that little noggin of hers. She loves what she loves and doesn't like for anyone to get in her way. She does not like to share mommy and will squeal if anyone else has interaction with mom (not the best trait). She pulls out her hair pretties and tries to get away from every diaper change. When's she's upset she clinches her fists and shakes (not epileptic). She loves to eat but she's actually starting to slim down now that she's so mobile. People always comment on her thighs - why can't people squeeze my thighs and deem how cute they are - not fair people. Kimbree is an overall joy and we are looking forward to making her first birthday a memorable one.

Carbon High Dino

Once upon a time I had a little boy that was playing flag football - that little sport slowly turned into tackle, ran sackle, and smash your opponent into the ground type of sport. Kaleb started the year off well let's just say exhausted from the time and effort a "high school" sport takes. I love football - I've always loved watching it, so having a child that participates is kind of a big deal to me. Sadly football, scouts, school, girls (yes girls), etc. became too much for this football star and he had to drop the sport due to slipping grades. School is important it's a small stepping stone in the puddle of life and no matter how discouraging it can be to a child, it's a parents prerogative for thier child to succeed in academics.

Little Tiger ---- Grrrrrrrrrrrr

Now that Kan is 4 he has the opportunity to try a few different sports - so we decided that soccer would be our first "try." Can I just say that 4-year olds are hilarious, clueless, and overall skeptics when it comes to learning the ins and outs of something new like a sport they've never played. Of course we decked Kanyon out in shin guards, soccer shoes, socks, shorts, the whole shabang to find out other parents really could have cared less how styling their little sportster was. Kan was completely clueless, running around in circles just following the other kids that were overall just as clueless. We would yell "run Kan run - kick the ball" and he would gaze at you in his little charming smile like seriously - look how freaking cute I am. I can honestly say I don't think he ended the season knowing much more than when he started. He was "that" child "that" child that roamed around aimlessly just trying to figure out what the point of the sport was. Kan is an observer he likes to watch and learn before partcipating - he takes everything in and analyzes it (definitely a trait from his dad). At the end of the game all that really matters is what kind of awesome treat they get anyways - RIGHT?

10 Months of Totally Awesomeness

I could rant and rave about how fast time flies by and yada yada yada but this time right now is so much fun that words could never capture how much we revel in the moments. Now, don't get me wrong if I could lock myself in a time capsule and go back rocking our little squishy bug as a newborn I would totally do it but this time right now is an absolute blast. Kimbree is ever changing - her personality is constantly picking up on new things, mocking different sounds we make, playing copy cat, taking charge, yet still small enough to melt into your arms. She's continuously making new faces or screeching just to hear the sound of her own voice. I (of course) am still her most favorite person in the whole world, she will squeal if anyone tries to remove her from my arms; needless to say dropoffs at daycare aren't always considered fun. She crawls all over and pulls herself up on EVERYTHING - just last week she took her first steps. She still loves food and is a fantastic little eater, that's probably somewhat noticeable by the size of her meaty thighs. She has 7 teeth and will bite if you stick your finger in her mouth (Kanyon tested this theory). She still isn't the most ideal sleeper and wakes several times a night but goes back to sleep without a hitch. She's slowly weaning herself off the bottle and loves cups with straws. She continues to melt my heart daily and I don't foresee that ever changing.
