Happy Birthday Mom and Ash!

Ash and Rylie

The beautiful Girls!

Today is my mother and my little sister's birthday! I hope they have a great day!

My little sis is 13. I sure cannot believe it. I remember so well, the day she was born. I cannot believe the woman she is becoming. She is one amazing girl. She is an amazing dancer. If anyone wants to see a beautiful and fun dancer, just watch her. She is also so caring about others. She is great with people and everyone loves her. She is the most beautiful girl. Ash is also extraordinarily smart. She is just great at everything. She is such a blessing in our family. Even though she is 12 years younger than me, she is an example to me. She is someone I strive to be like. She has a heart of gold and there is not one person better. I love her so much and I know that Kaidance is going to look up to her. She is everything that most girls strive to be. Thanks Ash, for everything you do and will continue to do for me and my little family! We love you more than you will ever know! God sure knew what he was doing when he put you in our family!

On to my amazing mom. I will not disclose how old she is, or I might be dead! HAHA! Just kidding mom, I love you.

But, honestly, she has taught me so much. She is the reason I am who I am today. She has always been the best example to me. She has taught me to go out and earn whatever it is I want in life. She has shown me the meaning of hard work. I look up to her so much. I can't believe how wonderful of a woman she is. She amazes me everyday with her strength and courage. I hope that one day I can be half as good of a mom to my beautiful daughter as she is to her children.

I know I can speak for all my siblings on this one, we sure love you mom and we are blessed to have the BEST mom in the world. Thanks for everything.

We love you both to the stars and back!

Have a Happy Birthday!! We love you girls!

Sorry the pictures are old. I will have to take some today and then post them!

You are the Love of my life!

I thought I should post some more pictures of my sweet baby. She is finally starting to feel better and I sure love it. She has been smiling and cooing often. We are just having the time of our lives.

We went to the doctor about a week or two ago and I have some more statistics on my beautiful babe, but I will post those later.

I can't believe how my life has changed in the last few months. I know why I am alive. I never would have thought that being a mother would be so amazing. Some days are hard, but it just makes me love her more and more. I know is sounds corny, but my life reminds me of a song right now. She is the love of my life, and the reason I am alive.

Enjoy the pictures.

What a life!

As I sit here tonight, I have to let everyone know I am still alive. I have been busy, but I really haven't gotten anything done. I just sit here everyday and think about my wonderful, blessed life. I have the most beautiful life. My daughter is amazing. I have the best family and friends, and I couldn't ask for anything more.

Kaidance is sleeping in right now, so I have decided to post a small post today. We had a great Christmas. We actually got to spend some time with both of our families. I was even able to see my little sister Kristin, and I thought she wasn't going to be able to make it into town for Christmas. I was so excited to have everyone be with my beautiful babe on her first Christmas.

Eric and I mostly used the video camera on Christmas, so we don't have a lot of pictures to post.

As for the last few weeks, we have just tried to keep inside and away from ill people. We had Kaidance's pictures done at Mackley photography. They did an amazing job, and I am still waiting to get all the pictures back. I am in the process of getting her birth announcements out, (I will post them when I have them done.)

I start up my own schooling again on Monday, and I am not looking forward to that, but I guess life will go on.

I cannot believe my baby is 8 weeks old now. She was 8 weeks old yesterday and it blows my mind. Eric got on the scale and then got on with her and we figure she is about 11 pounds. Can you believe that? We go to the doctor on the 6th, so we will let you know more then.

Hope everyone has a great New Years. I sure look forward to a wonderful 2010 with my new beautiful family!

5 Weeks, can you believe it?

She amazes me.

Aunt Ashlee and Kaidance.

SANTA BABY!

Beautiful baby Girl

I sure can't believe that my little princess Kaidance is five weeks old today. I am having a difficult time accepting the fact that she is growing so fast.

It is so funny that people tell you how fast time goes, and how a baby will change you life, but you are never truly ready for it. I know that I never would have thought this is how life would be. I can't imagine my life without this babe. She is my everything. I am so in love with her and I sure can't get enough of her. I am not wanting to do anything but just stay home with her and hold her. I guess I really should get out and do something, but I am not feeling like doing anything. I have not done any Christmas shopping at all. One thing I have done is my Christmas cards, I ordered them online yesterday. Hopefully I will have enough ambition to get them sent out before Christmas. ;) Wish me luck and enjoy my pictures of my princess.

The entire Family

On Thanksgiving my uncle came and took pictures of our family. It was a good time, but I wasn't too thrilled because I was just 3 weeks postpartum. Oh well, I guess it was a good time to have everyone together.

My Kaidance looks so cute, I just love it.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

I am Thankful.

As I sit here tonight, I feel the urge to post how thankful I am to live the life I live. I know I may complain at times, but I truly have an amazing life.
I am so thankful for my family. I have this new little family of my own and I couldn't be happier. I am so thankful that I was able to become pregnant and carry Kaidance to full term. I am so blessed to have such a healthy baby. I love her so much, and I can't imagine how Eric and I lived without her all these years. She has shown me the real meaning of life. I know I was meant to be a mother, and that is my true purpose in life.
Next, I am so thankful for Eric. He keeps me sane. He loves me unconditionally, even when I am crazy. He stands by me through everything. I could not ask for a more loving, understanding and caring husband. I love you Eric, with my entire heart and soul.
I am thankful to both Eric's and my family. We both have the best family anyone could ever ask for. We are so blessed to have such amazing parents and siblings. I love all of them so much. Each and every one of them has taught us so much.
I am thankful for my wonderful friends. I love all of them and thank them for all they do and continue to do for me. (you know who you are!)
Lastly, I am thankful for health. Our family is healthy in general and we are so blessed to have that. Being healthy has enabled Eric and I to work and provide for our family. I am so blessed that I have the opportunity to go to school and earn and education. I am also so thankful to be able to practice as a nurse and serve others. After being in the hospital and having a baby in the hospital, I truly know how amazing doctors and nurses are. I hope to be half the nurse that my Labor and Delivery nurses were to me.
Well, in general I have so much to be thankful for, and I know I do not say it enough, but I am one thankful girl. I have a great life and I could not ask for anything more~

From the hospital until now.

This was Wed the 25th of November, in her new outfit.

She loves taking a bath and looking at herself in the mirror.

After a sponge bath, her cute bair towel.

Rocking in her swing.

She had the biggest grin on her face, I love it!

The day we brought her home from the hospital, (don't mind how sick I look)

Getting ready to leave the silly NICU.

Our tanning baby.

This is one of my favorite pictures, it looks like she is waving.

Just hanging out in the Bili lights in the NICU.

All wide eyed!

She looks like she is about to fall asleep!

Right after birth, this is her birth weight! Oh, and if you can't tell, she wasn't very happy!

This was the moon on the morning she was born.

I have just recently put some of the pictures from our camera onto the computer. For that reason, I am going to give everyone a picture overload. These pictures are from the day Kaidance was born until now. You can sure see how she is changing. I just think she is the most beautiful little girl ever. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures.

Sorry the pictures are out of order.
