We might not have it all together but together we have it all!

Recently I found this quote and I have been thinking about it ever since. I feel like it applies to my life in so many ways right now. I have had many moments of feeling very overwhelmed since Kyson was born and its true that I don't feel like I have it "all together." It seems like I can't go anywhere without someone making the comment, "Wow, you've got your hands full!" All I can say is "yes, I sure do!" I have also had a hard time keeping my house clean and I feel like as soon as I get one room clean, another room is a mess again! The evenings get especially hard as Kyson is quite fussy and I end up having both Caleb and Kyson crying and needing me at the same time as I am trying to make dinner. It can be quite challenging!

Now considering all of this, I truly do feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and two beautiful little boys. Each of them mean so much to me and I love them more then I ever thought possible.

Jared really is wonderful. He is working so hard to have a full time job while going to school yet he still comes home and finds the time to help me out. He is very helpful with Caleb and Caleb loves his Daddy very much!


Caleb is growing up so fast. He has the most adorable laugh that is absolutely contagious! He is very helpful and he is a good listener. He definitely has a shy side and doesn't like to be around a lot of people. He loves music and I often find him dancing or leading a song that he hears. He also loves to go to the park to play and never gets tired of going down the slide. He makes me smile every day and I am so grateful for him.


Kyson turned one month old on Monday. He is such a beautiful baby and I think he looks just like his Dad. In fact I think Kyson is a carbon copy of Jared just stuck in a tiny body. I'm excited to see how his features change as he grows up. He doesn't have very many moments of being both awake and happy but I cherish the moments that he is! I especially love his eyes and enjoy looking into them when he is awake. I feel so lucky to be able to hold him, love him, and take care of him.


When I think about all of these things I feel truly blessed. I love my family and with them I really do have it ALL!!!

I appreciate your outlook on life. Can I just be a little fly on the wall during the days you're overwhelmed? I just can't imagine it. I'll have to see it to believe it. You are a fabulous mother and wife. I love you.
