I can't believe how fast my little boy is growing up. He can now sit up all on his own and roll over. He now has two bottom teeth and is sleeping through the night. All those interupted nights are over. Dylan is such a joy in my life and I couldn't be happier. I love the lyrics to this song that starts off my blog page, they really make you want to live life and love it while we are living it.

I recently took care of a patient who in the last 6 months has become a paraplegic , had multiple surgeries, and illnesses. We never know what will happen to us or our family so we must enjoy every minute that we have with them. This is a lesson that I need to learn and really take to heart. With all the heartache in life, there is so much good to see and to be done. My biggest new years resolution is to live like I am dying and to enjoy the people around me and love life whether I am stuck at work, home sick, or out with my husband.

Happy New Year!

We spent the weekend before Christmas in Arizona with my brother Darrin, his wife Emily and their boy Carter. The last day we were there my sister Kara drove in with her 3 boys.

Here is Kara's boy Clay reading to Dylan.

Dylan loves books!

How will I ever tell this boy, with this smile no?

Dylan and Carter in the bath tub. Bryan is sure this will humiliate Dylan when is older.

Gardner Village

What an adorable baby Santa!!

If you haven't been to Gardner Village, you need to go. It is very fun around Christmas time and Halloween because it is all decorated and festive. Bryan and I had an excellent lunch and were able to see Melanie and her kids, and Jenn and her kids.

Random Pictures

Last night I was able to watch my friend Callee's boy Easton. We had a ton of fun. He learned how to use my camera and wanted to take pictures all night. Callee watches Dylan once a week and so he loves Easton and is content just watching him.

Here is Dylan in his plaid shirt. He reminds me of Al Borlen from Tool Time, but only smaller and cuter.

Here is my future baseball player, well I hope so anyway. Baseball is so much safer than football. Although everyone tells me he is going to be a football player because he is so strong and big.

Dylan used to enjoy the time in our bed, but now he has moved on to his own crib in his own room. We are all sleeping a little bit better. I can't wait until he sleeps through the night or atleast longer than 4-5 hours at a time.

The week of Thanksgiving I was able to spend a couple days in Price. Dylan had fun playing with his cousins. I was able to go to the movie Twilight and learn how to cook some yummy treats with Melanie. Thanksgiving turned out great, I was supposed to work, but 5:00 in the morning I was surprised by being called off. I was so grateful to be able to spend time with my family, especially my husband and baby. I am so thankful for all that I have in my life. I have been blessed with so much more than any one person deserves.
