My First Mother's Day

How blessed I am to be a mother!! The last two year's Mother's Day had been very hard for me. Just a month after Chris and I got married, we had gotten pregnant and not too long after that I had a miscarriage. Needless to say, Mother's Day was very difficult. This last year I was just so ready to be a mother and was getting a little discouraged. Now, this year, I have the most beautiful, sweet spirited, amazing baby boy! I could not ask for anything more. Being a mother is the most incredible feeling in the world. Thank you to my mother, and all the other women in my life who have been a positive influence. I now understand with the feeling of going through labor that no matter what you will always love your children :)

Can I fit the WHOLE thing in my mouth mom?

Aiden has been a finger and a fist sucker since he arrived. One day he looked as if he was trying to fit the WHOLE thing in his mouth. What a silly boy!?!

Aiden's Blessing

Aiden had his blessing at the Maricopa 2nd Ward on May 2, 2010 (the day before his daddy's 2 year anniversary of being baptised). His daddy, along with several worthy priesthood holders were there to bless him, including his Uncle Joseph. His daddy blessed him with health and strength, a desire for an education, to serve a mission, to have a love of serving others and to get married in the temple where he can be sealed to his future family. I am crying again as I am writing this just now. It was a beautiful day. My MawMaw and PawPaw were able to drive up from Texas (one set of Aiden's Great Grandparents). We had a wonderful time and a wonderful week spending time with them.

My sweet baby!!!

Aiden fell asleep beside Chris on the bed...he was so tired!!
