{nothing stopping him now}

William is growing up so fast, seriously i can't handle it.  He is extremely independent. He doesn't like to be feed. He likes to feed himself. He eats everything and by everything I mean paper and carpet. well, not so much anymore but for a while I though we had a little goat in our hands.  He loves helping me in the kitchen. When he sees me cleaning in there he quickly walks over to the nearest cabinet or drawer and begins to take everything out of it. He makes the funniest faces and loves to give kisses.

I was affraid that he would be a picky eater but the only thing he doesn't like eating is pureed meats/chicken. he hates it. i don't blame him but give him pieces of chicken with curry and mole and he devours it. thats my boy.

I am so in love with him especially when he climbs on top and gives me a big kiss on my face.  

He loves my pink blanket. he can't sleep without it. My dear Mother made me that about 10 years ago. Its cute that he is obsessed with that blanket but hey, that's mine!!! :) 

By the way, he loves his daddy so SO much and I do too!!!

{no place like home}

Summer 2010 was a tough season for us.  It was full of uncertainty. But, we got through it.  We moved to a new place in Provo.
Here are some decorations we have worked on that were super cheap!

i can't find my camera, its probably still in a box. I took this with my phone so I apologize for the bad quality. :)

This is a dresser that we got for free from a neighbor. we are still contemplating which color to paint it.  I want a fun bright color and Kent thinks it would be great to prime it with black and finish it with white. We will see...

Picture Time!

Isn't he cute?

Missions

Today I am grateful for missionaries. Missionaries who taught my Mom in the 80's, missionaries who taught my dad in the 90's and missionaries who taught my husbands side of the family in the late 1800's. I'm grateful that I served a mission and that Kent served one too. I am grateful that my cousin Julio went on a mission, Moises (Ozzie) is on one now and my brother in law is leaving today.  What a privilege they have to represent the Lord and Savior for 2 complete years without distraction. How I loved those 18 months. they changed my life and perspective of things. even though it was not required of me I felt i needed to serve when Kent entered the MTC. I remember the letter I sent him 7 months before he was done and telling him I was leaving on a mission. He was such an amazing support. Missionaries are so important and we are so proud of these 2 for choosing to represent the Lord at this time.
