So much to be happy for! So today from the moment I woke up with Tieler shrieking to get out of bed, I have felt flooded with gratitude for everything I have and all the people in my life I had to just sit here and type it all out!!! So I really cant even explain how lucky I feel to be living here in AMERICA...and Utah! There are so many mothers, husbands, and children making a massive sacrifice with spouses and parents serving in Iraq for our country! We are so lucky to live in a country that isn't war torn or experiencing third world poverty. Every time I turn on the news I cannot help but think how crazy it would be to live and raise children in some of those places! My brother in law is in the air force and for the past 3+ years has left to Iraq for 5months out of the year and I cannot say how amazing the people who serve our country are! It cannot be easy to leave the life of comfort and the wives, husbands and children, and siblings in their lives!! And they do it for all of us to be able to have the freedom and safety we enjoy every day!! My husband! He is next... because he is sooo great! I am so lucky to have him in my life. Gary is my best-friend and the biggest supporter in my life. We have been through so much together and he has never left my side. He believes more in me than I do most of the time! He is everything I have ever wanted in a husband. In my darkest moments he is there to comfort, love, or make me laugh. He is the best father and is soooo involved in Jaxen and Tielers life. We are 50/50 and the best team! I absolutely love you gar, I am sure you will read this and I want to thank you for all the extra shifts you pick up when we are in need of extra money, the long hours you put in every day to support our family! For loving me through the chaos! And for giving me the most amazing sweet babies.... Jaxen my little man, I am so grateful that he is mine! He is the sweetest little boy. He is my little helper. He is so smart, he has quite the vocabulary sometimes I forget he is just three... I swear those random out of it bad hair days... Jaxen happens to tell me how pretty I am or that he " wuvs my shoes"... He hates when his room is messy, and just watching him run around at the park is so entertaining! I am so grateful for his health and all his many abilities!! He is such a good big brother to Tieler and he just loves her! He is always telling on her when she is getting into foods he knows she can't have or if she sticks anything in her mouth. I love my little tattle tale! My sweet little angel Jaxen...
Tieler... Like Jaxen I too could go on forever! Tie is our LITTLE sweet girl, she is always dancing and talking her gibberish. Tieler has really helped me gain a strength to be able to handle almost anything! She is always full of surprises... in Tielers little sixteen months I have watched her struggle and grow and I cannot say I would change her for the world, maybe take away whatever unnecessary pain but other than that she is mine and I feel like she took on the burden in our family of giving us strength through hardship. She is always getting into something and she will let you know when she is unhappy that you have taken away her newest discovery that she shouldn't have found in the first place... She loves to push Jaxens buttons like most little sisters do! ( he handles it well!) she loves to hold and squeeze her babies and then throw them on the ground? Tie is definitely been born to dance she will dance to any commercial music or anything you turn on! I cannot wait to see these to grow up even though Its sad it happens so fast!! I am so grateful that I have been given the chance to have children and be a mother; it is by far the most rewarding thing in life!! I am just in love with my two sweet babies!
I can't not not express how grateful I am for my two parents! My mom is also my family nurse and is always there night and day for whatever I need I cannot imagine my life without them they have done more for me than anyone in my life and are the best examples! They love me to the end of the world and appreciate them so much more than they know! My siblings!! Shauna, Tara, and Daniel!!I am so lucky to have them.... I am so grateful they we are close compared to so many other families!! I know they are always there for me and without the family I have I do not know where I would be. I feel so LUCKY that we are a family and that there is always so much love...Last but not least my FRIENDS, I have had the opportunity to be surrounded by so many awesome people in my life I have learned so many life lesson from these people, and cannot explain in words how grateful I am for all the people that have touched our lives!! My in laws and sister and brother laws have been so good to me and treated me like family since day one!! Thanks for the physical emotional and financial support all of you have given! I love you all THANKS!!!! for being a part of my so very blessed life!!!!!!!!!
