Happy Birthday Wesley!!!!

Two years ago today, our little Wes man was born. I can't believe how fast he has grown in a year! Time certainly flies when you're having fun. I remember having "the talk" with Rob about having another baby on Wesley's first birthday. And another year has passed and Wes is turning 2 and we have a 3 1/2 month old baby. Crazy how life turns out! We can't image life without Wesley. He is our little comedian. He makes us laugh every day! He has the cutest personality. And not to mention he is really smart too! Everyone used to make fun of his big head, but I used to tell them he just had a really big brain. And it's true, he surprises me everyday with how smart he is. He picks up on EVERYTHING! I have to start watching what I say. Wesley has truly blessed our lives! He is such a wonderful little man. I'm excited to see the man he grows up to be. I will have to post some pictures from his birthday party later this week.

Here are some fun pictures of Wesley from this past year.

Jam Packed Weekend

We had a very busy but fun weekend. On Friday, my Mom and I spent most of the day shopping for Wesley's birthday, grabbing lunch, and trying gelato from two new Italian cafes in West Jordan. Later that day we decided to take Wesley to go see Walle. It was SO cute. Wes loved it! Which is surprising because the content really isn't geared towards kids. And there wasn't much dialog, but you couldn't help but fall in love with Walle's cute personality. They also had to throw in some politics, but it was still a really cute movie. On Saturday I worked all day at a boutique in Draper for Modbe. It was located in a gorgeous house! It even had an indoor pool and a huge movie theater in the basement. These people had money. The sick thing about it was that they were only in their late 20's - early 30's. When I got home from the boutique, Rob suggested that we take the boys swimming since it was so hot. So, we headed over to the KOPFC for some family time in the pool before coming home and putting the kids to bed. I love Sundays after a busy weekend. We have church at 1pm, so it is nice to sit around and relax before getting ready and heading to church. It also allows me to catch up on our blog. I hope everyone else had a great weekend as well!

Kangaroo Zoo

Last Friday we went to the Kangaroo Zoo for the first time. Wesley was invited to his friend Carter's birthday party. Wesley had so much fun! There were tons of bounce houses, obstacle courses, and slides. His favorite part was the batting cage one. Once he discovered it, he didn't want to do anything else. We had so much fun there that I convinced Rob to come with us on Monday for a family day of fun. They also a black light minature golf course which Wesley didn't discover until we went with Rob. After our first game, he didn't want to leave. He would cry hysterically if we tried to take him out. Wes had such a blast both days. It is definitely one of our new favorite places to go. It's a great place to go to keep out of the hot weather! I love the look on Wesley's face. He looks terrified, but I promise he was having fun. Here are some pictures of minature golfing. If you look closely in the pictures you can sort of see us.

Hogle Zoo Carousel

Last week we were invited to a member's only event at Hogle Zoo. They had a grand opening for their new carousel. When we got to the zoo it was crazy busy! We seriously had to park a mile away. We thought it was going to take all night to ride the carousel. But luckily the line didn't take too long and Wesley had so much fun. It was so fun to hear his little squeals and giggles while on the ride. It is such a joy to watch him so happy. The carousel had beautifully carved animals. Wesley got to ride a seal. After we rode the carousel, we went and saw some of our favorite animals. We topped the night off with yummy ice cream cones. It was a great family night out! Wesley waited so patiently for his turn. He even got to pet Snuggles the snake. I was shocked he actually wanted to.

I can't get enough of Beckett's smiles. He is such a sweetheart!

Happy Father's Day!

I just want to wish 3 very special men a Happy Father's Day! Rob, my Dad, and Rob's Dad are the three greatest dads I know. Rob is such a great dad to our two boys! I couldn't ask for a better partner to help raise them. I love to watch him play and interact with them. Wesley certainly looks up to him. I feel so blessed to have him in my life. Thanks for being you! My dad is such an example to me. We have always had such a special connection. His nickname for me is Dolly. He is spiritual, kind, and not to mention hilarious! He is such a great grandpa to all of his grandkids. He has made up a little song for most of the grandkids. They are pretty cute. Wesley's song is the Beatles "Doctor Roberts." Instead of singing Dr. Roberts, my Dad sings Wesley Robert. He has taught the song to Wes, and everytime they're together they have to sing it. Thanks for being the wonderful man you are Dad! I also wanted to wish Rob's Dad a Happy Father's Day. He is also an example to me. I know that Rob is the wonderful husband and father because of his Dad's example. I love to watch him and Wesley play in their backyard. He is a wonderful grandpa as well. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful men in my life! This is my favorite picture of Wesley and my Dad. I love Wesley's smile. My Dad had bought all the grandkids Beck shirts to wear on Thanksgiving.

This is Beckett and my Dad shortly after Beckett was born. My Dad was such a trooper and hung out at the hospital through both of my labors.

This is the only picture I could find of Alex and Wesley (Sad I know!). But I didn't want to leave him out. Wesley certainly adores both of his Grandpas. I'm sure Beckett does too!

Happy Anniversary!

June 11, 2004

I just wanted to wish my hubby a Happy Anniversary! We have been thrown a couple of trials in the past little while, and I just want him to know that I still love and appreciate all he does for me. No marriage is perfect. Everyone has their struggles. But I believe that the trials we are given are given to us for a reason. And when we get through them, we are stronger for it. These past 4 years have been the happiest years of my life! We have lived in two different cities and three different houses. We have brought two beautiful boys into this world in the past two years, after going through two really difficult misscarriages. Rob, you are such a wonderful husband and father! You don't give yourself enough credit. Thank you for working so hard in order for me to stay home and raise our boys. We are truly meant for each other! I couldn't have found a better half. We are so much a like in so many ways! We always seem to be thinking the same thing at the same exact time. And even though you embarrass me while you do it, you can always make me laugh! I am so grateful to be spending the rest of my life and forever with you! I love you! Happy Anniversary!
