5 years old

Today my baby boy turned 5. I can't believe how fast it has gone. He is so much fun and makes me laugh several times a day. He is in a band (a one man band) and it is called "Baby what do you say" (yes he made it up all on his own.) He also says he is the "real spiderman" and if we don't let him wear the costume he will put it on under his clothes and we must call him Peter Parker.

5 Things I love about him

1. His laugh even as a baby it was music to my hears

2. His passion for life and anything he likes. It is all or nothing with this kid

3. His love for Heavenly Father. I know he knows him and loves him.

4. His hugs. I love when he walks up to me and hugs me for no reason.

5. His ability to make friends. When he was 2 1/2 he walked up to a little boy and said "I am Jordan who are you? Let's be friends"

I love being his mommy and can't believe Heavenly Father is trusting this sweet boy with me. He is so wonderful and loving. When he was born I held him day and night for about a month. I just couldn't put my sweet baby down. I still want to hold him all the time but he is a busy little boy. I am thankful for the times when he will still let me cuddle him because I know that one day he will not let me. I just love love love him so much!!!

6 months

Robbie is 6 months old today. It went by too fast!!!! His weight is 13ounds 14oz. And he is 24 inches. He is a little guy.

He loves his sippy cup and get excited when he sees it.

Likes rice cereal but sometimes chokes on it.

Eats his feet every chance he gets.

Rolls all over the place.

Smiles when his mommy walks in the room.

Stills thinks Jordan is really funny.

Loves to swing. (but can't at this time Kenzie broke it)

Yells as loud as he can so you will talk to him then laughs.

Can still fit into some 0-3months clothes

Likes to take a bath.

Gets really messy with rice cereal (I think he knows he will then get a bath)

Has one of the BEST smiles.

Thinks books taste good

Thinks frosting is yummy (Thanks dad for giving him some so early)

Is very ticklish.

I just love this little man. He is so fun and brings so much joy to our family. Everyone loves the baby. I don't think a baby has ever been loved so much.

Robbie and Miss Abby

Abby loves baby Robbie. She is always saying "baby" when he is around. I think she thinks it is her baby. Last night she wanted to hold him. It was so cute. He actually let her and didn't fuss once. I think if she could have she would have held him all night.

a few more project 365

Jordan and his little friend Meagan. He saves her a sit every sunday in Primary. It is so cute!
The kids and their cards and $ from grandma. I love Robbie's mad face!

And instead of a nap Jordan did this. Spiderman is saving all the Good Book of Morman guys.

In tears

I am overwhelmed with emotion for this family They have been dealt so some but still go on. I am so grateful to have healthy children and also for my knowledge that I WILL see my family again. That families are forever. I am sure this family feels the same and that is what gets them up the next day. It is families like this that makes me what to be a better mother, wife, friend and just better all around.
*if you read this family's blog get tissue you will NEED it*

Remember when

For fun I wanted to see what we were doing in March 2008 and found this and this I can't believe how much she had grown and how little tiny she was. And her round tummy. I miss it. A lot has happened in her little life in such a short time. We are now getting ready to set that bed up again. Life goes too fast!!
Also I found this It was a little weird because that is Robbie's birthday. I got it right on. Okay maybe just weird to me but who cares
