My princess

On August 24th my precious little girl turned 2. It has really been an amazing two years. It took me awhile once I found out I was pregnant to accept it and be happy about it. I was nervous about screwing up, nervous she wouldn't love me, wanting to be done with school, in a house. . . . After lots of praying and pondering I realized that I was being blessed, I was being given the most amazing gift my father in heaven could ever give me, the responsibility to help lead another spirit back to him.

2 years later I look at that little girl and smile. She is my everything. I know for a fact I will laugh at her every day. I know she loves me, I know she feels the spirit, I know that she looks up to her daddy and I.

Random facts of McKenna today:
*She love the song "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam"
*She "leads" music in church
*She has never had a problem going to nursery
*She doesn't like vegetables (wonder where that came from)
*She looks up to her daddy
*She is always trying to make people laught
*She is very girly, necklaces, dresses, shoes, hair bows, ALL GIRL!
*She loves imitating people
*She never says what an animal is, just its sound
*If you ask her what color something is she will ALWAYS say purple
*She would live at the park playing on the slide if I would let her
*She signs peace when she tries to tell you "I love you"
*She enjoys reading scriptures with us at night
*She helps unload the dishwasher!
*All she wants to do is help.
*Recently she watches Little Einsteins and Elmo, would watch it all day if I would let her
*She is motherly, she loves to nurture
*When she draws she always says "M"

I am sure there are so many more things I love about our amazing daughter. She is a spirit that we are extremely blessed to be allowed to share our home with. Thanks McKenna for being an example at such a young age, I am so excited to see what amazing things the Lord has prepared for you!

A look in our lives

My photo
Our lives started together in 2006, shortly after we found out giggles, hugs, and diapers would fill our lives, we added little M in August '07. Jon is balancing life taking care of his girls, school, and work. Melissa stays at home with little M and loves being a mom and wife. Since then I have gained over a hundred pounds. I am sick of the restrictions it gives me. I am tired of feeling groggy and miserable. I am starting over. Starting a new and teaching my family the joys of healthy living!
