My little Dancer

This little boy makes his mommy and daddy laugh everyday!

He's always keeping us smiling, with all the fun things he's learning right now. 

He is a little sponge right now, and mimics everything he see's. 

I LOVE it!

Heres a little video of his AWESOME dance moves.

He's def. got his Grandpa and dad's dance moves. . .

September 11, 2001

I want to take a min. and write down my memories and thoughts from this day. Its a day I will NEVER forget. A day that will FOREVER be engraved in my brain.

I was in 8th Grade. I was just about to leave to go catch the Bus for school.  The TV was on like always in the morning, I glanced at it, and saw that some BIG building was on Fire. (At the time I had never even heard of the twin towers in New York)  Then as I was watching, I saw a Plane heading straight for another building.  I was shocked and SCARED.  I had NO idea what was happening.  As far as I knew it was an ACCIDENT.  I was young and would NEVER think something so bad could happen in this good country that I lived in.  But as the day went on my feelings quickly changed.  I knew something wasn't right.  I knew it was an act of hatred. 

I get to school,  its a different feeling that day.  Its kinda quiet.  Teachers are standing around the office watching the News.

My first Class,  Mr Vendetti's History Class. I remember watching his emotions. He was distraught. (He himself being from New York) his hometown being in crisis. 

We watched the News the whole class period.

Along with my next 6 classes.

I watched OVER and Over and OVER again.

The towers falling, people running to safety. 

Emergency Crews everywhere. 

I didn't want to watch anymore, I was soo Scared.

I just wanted to be home safe with my family.

I remember thinking that we were in trouble, that maybe we were going to be attacked here as well. 

I was terrified.

But as the days went on, I remember feeling peace and Unity. 

I remember feeling SAFE. 

Even Now 10 years later. 

I feel SAFE. 

Thanks to the MEN and WOMEN that fight for our country

For all the sacrifices they make for me and for my familiy!

THANK YOU!             

My Basketball Champ

I don't know if you know this......BUT this KID is OBSESSED with Basketball!!

He always has a ball with him, and is passing it and shooting it.

 He points out all the Basketball hoops we pass, if we're on a walk, and if a game is on TV his world STOPS, and he is glued to the TV. 

The weird thing is...somehow he has LOVED basketball sense he was pretty young. He could sit down and watch 30 to 45 min. of a basketball game with Not a single MOVEMENT!

If it goes to commercial, he holds his hands to side and says "huh?"( like where'd it go?)

We LOVE our little Basketball champ so much!!

Kiss Me Dirty

5K Mud Run

This 5K was probably one of the funnest ones i've ever done!

It was a big mud Fest, and GIRLS ONLY!!

I LOVED spending time with my mom and sisters!

 our Supporters and Babysitters

Wow.....

I've been a Horrible Blogger! But i'm kinda feeling like getting back into the groove of it.  I just get so busy, and don't know where to fit it in.

Also being pregnant, i'm still wayyyy TIRED all the time, so in my spare time I want to sleep, instead of play around on the computer!

But i've realized I need to record all these fun moments that are happening in my life right now. 
I'm not gonna try and play catch up, but i'll try and stay on top of the things that are going on right now in our lives!

Happy Mothers Day!

I have been looking for a Song that could be Kypton and My song for a LONG time....You know, something that would give us a special bond, and would mean a lot to both of us?

Well I think I finally found it! I found it over at Life is Sweet!

I'm in Love, and what better of a day to find such a special song, then on Mothers Day!

{ Come One, Come All }

Can you believe that my child is ONE?!?!?

I CAN'T!!!

This little boy is ONE SPOILED child!!

Lets just say his Circus Party was a success.

It was so much fun putting it all together, and even though my husband thought i may have gone over board, I LOVED every second of it!

I'm so grateful to have so many people that LOvE and support Kypton, and our family!

Kyptons Birthday was a little bitter sweet for me, I pretty much cried all morning, looking at pictures of when he was born, and of him growing up. I'm so sad that my little baby boy is growing up, but at the same time Its SO FUN!  

Kypton is learning soooo much EVERYDAY, I can't even keep track!

I LOVE that he loves playing with Balls, its like his favorite thing! NOT only to play with them, but he can pretty well watch a WHOLE basketball game, and stay excited about it the whole time! Its the CUTEST thing!!

He has learned to clap, and he pretty much claps at everything.

He gets sooooo excited, he doesn't even know what to do with himself, so he just opens his mouth and sticks out his tongue and slaps the ground as hard has he can.

He makes cute car sounds as he pushes his cars and trucks around, I LOVE that he's all boy!

Kypton LOVES food, he will pretty much eat anything and everything

He doesn't eat baby food really at all anymore.

He is starting to sign a lot of things. . . .More, please, all done, dog, eat, milk.

He can say Mom, Dad and Ball (ba)

He has freak out moments as soon as he sees his bottle. He drops everything and starts to get reeeeaaaaallllly excited, He can hardly wait!

He has 4 teeth, 2 on top and 2 on bottom. I LOVE his Teethy smile, ahhhh it melts my heart.

Especially when I get to wake up to it first thing in the morning. 

I LOOK over at his crib, and hes bouncing up and down soooo excited, and he has his big teethy smile on his face! Oh how I LOVE it!

He just started walking. Easter Sunday.

He's still not very confident, and thinks crawling is soo much faster. We're working on it though!

The cutest thing is when he takes a few steps then stops and claps for himself. I LOVE it.

He wears 18 month clothes, and size 3 diapers.

His shoe size is a 4. 

He is really good about going to bed, all it takes is a story, a prayer and a bottle, and its right to bed.

No problem at all, It really is easy as that!

I LOVE that.

His bed time is 8 to 830ish.

He takes 2 naps during the day. His first nap at 10, and his second nap at 2 or 3ish.

He is really good about going down for naps as well!

Kypton is a BIG climber. He can climb anything, its amazing, and a little scary!

He Loves the "NO" game. (its not a game to me) if I say NO to something he immediatly thinks its a fun game, and does exactly what he's not supposed to. ( so if anybody has any suggestions on this new stage of teaching him good and bad, would be greatly appreciated!)

Kypton keeps me on my toes, but I LOVE every second of being his mommy!

Kypton keeps me on my toes, but I LOVE every second of being his mommy!

He is sooo fun, and i'm sure will only get more fun.

He is discovering new things everyday, and i'm soooo lucky to get to watch him grow from being a little baby to very smart little toddler!

I can't wait for the many more years to come, and many more birthday celebrations!

{ An "AW" Defining Moment }

Last night, I was winding down for bed. . . Watching Oprah (I love Oprah)

On her show there were two different stories about families, One who lost there child, and the other one who's baby needed a Heart Transplant to survive.

I couldn't take it, I started to panic, and think about what I would do in their situation. My heart was breaking!!! I wouldn't survive, if I had to go through something like that!!

I couldn't get it out of my mind, and I couldn't fall asleep!!

I NEEDED to hold my Baby RIGHT NOW!

At that Moment, I didnt care what waking him up would do to the rest of my night!

I went and picked him up out of his crib, carried him over to my bed. I set him in between Zach and I.

At first he was tossing and turning, he couldn't get comfortable, Zach and I were trying to hold in our laughs..... We couldn't!

Kypton popped up, and started laughing with us. Then after a minute, he would lay back down and wrestle around before finding somewhere comfortable to slip back into his sweet slumber. 

Then AGAIN....We would try not to laugh, but couldn't help it! 

Kypton then again, would sit up and smile, and pretend to laugh as if he knew what we were laughing about!

Back again he tried to find a spot to get comfortable, so he could go back to sleep!

I decided this time, it was okay to put him back in his crib, so he could fall asleep.

And I was okay to go to sleep!

I will NEVER take life for granted. 

I get so caught up in the routine of things, of making sure Kypton gets his two naps during the day.

And is in bed By 8. 

And all night trying to stay quiet, Not to wake him!

I made some amazing memories last night. 

Some good Laughs, that I really needed at that moment!

And guess what?? Everything was fine, He slept the rest of the night.

If Ever I need a moment with my son, I won't be afraid to mess up his schedule.

The memories are FAR more important!

One Year Ago Today. . .

I gave Birth to the Most amazing, Special little Boy!!

Today is bitter sweet. I can't believe how fast time flew this past year! I can't believe my baby is ONE!

This past year has changed my life COMPLETELY.....For the better!!

Kypton brings such happiness and Love into our home. A happiness and Love that no one else can give a mom, or dad!

This past year has been the happiest time of my life, but also the most challenging!  A challenge that I have LOVED, and that has taught me more about myself as a Mother and as a wife then anything else!

I have had a spirit in my home, that no one else could bring me! Its amazing how close the Veil is when you have one of Heavenly fathers Infants in your home! I have felt his spirit more then any other time in my life!

I have gained a stronger testimony about eternal families, and also the plan of salvation!

I KNOW Heavenly Father created this PERFECT child just for me!!

I feel a GREATER responsibility to LIVE a Stronger life in the Gospel. I want to please my Heavenly Father, and Raise Kypton in a way that he can have a strong Relationship with his Father in Heaven, and return to live with him!

I LOVE Kypton soo MUCH!  I'm so lucky to be his MOM!

We have a FUN day planned. . . More like a FUN week!

So Lots more Pictures and posts to come!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYPTON!!!!
