Happy 1st Birthday Baby Girl!

We can't believe that a whole year has passed since you were born. The morning you were born was a special one since it was the first day of 2011. You were the perfect addition to our family. We are so blessed to have you in our lives and every day you put a smile on our face.

Since the day you were born you have been such an easy going girl...you made it going back to work that much easier. Since you were a month old you have been on a schedule and have slept through the whole night which make mommy and daddy very happy. You are working on drinking milk from a bottle to a sippy cup. You love to drink water from a straw. You are a very independent girl. You love to play with your brother and cuddle with you mommy and daddy. You are no longer eating baby food and love to eat what we eat. You are still small for your age, but I am going to try not to worry since you are meeting your milestones with no problem.

Happy 10th Birthday Wesley!!

This year we aren't doing a big party. He decided that he wanted to go to Knott's Berry Farm with some friends. I can't believe that my little guy is 10!! Where have the years gone?!? Here are some pictures of Wesley of the past 5 years!!

5 years old!

6 years old

7 years old

8 years old



9 years old

He has grown into an amazing young man. When I first met Wesley, he was a very shy and timid little boy. He now is a boy with confidence and is a great role model to his little sister. We love you very much and are so proud of you.

"I didn't give you the gift of life.
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real
as if it had been so.
For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true.
No, I didn't give you the gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you."
-Unknown

Wesley you were a package deal with your dad and that is the best present you and your dad could of ever given me. I love you!
