8 YEARS!!!

Holy cow how time flies...It's been 8 years today since Brandi and I were married. No words can express the love that I feel for my sweet wife. For those of you that know us, we've had our DEFINITE ups and downs, but I can say that at this point our marriage is happier than it has ever been. I look back on the last 8 years with gratitude for what we've learned and gone through together and can say that I'd marry her again and again and again. Sure we all go through tough times and sometimes wonder what the heck we were thinking, but when we make it through the refiners fire that our Father puts us through, we come out stronger, more beautiful, and more worthy of His eternal blessings. I'm so happy to have this choice young daughter of God as my companion in this journey and feel more blessed and so humbled than i can describe to have been bestowed with such a celestial gift that she is. I love you Bran! Lookin' forward to another 8 + ∞ with you! Happy Anniversary KK!

Square Foot Gardening!!!

I HAD HEARD ABOUT AND SEEN ON SOME FRIENDS BLOGS ABOUT THIS SQUARE FOOT GARDENING BUT WHEN I SAW IN PERSON RYAN'S MOMS GARDEN DONE IN S.F.G. I HAD TO LEARN MORE AND JOIN THE CLUB. SHE TAUGHT US AND HELPED US A LOT, THANKS SO MUCH DEBBIE! SO FAR WE ARE GLAD WE DID. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO DO WITH RY AND IT'S SO FUN TO LOOK AT ALL THE TIME TOO!

WE WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH OUR FRIENDS/FAMILY!! (AND I AM ALL ABOUT NO WEEDING;)

RYAN LEVELED THE GARDEN AREA, LAID THE WEED PAPER, AND PLACED THE BOXES WHERE WE WANTED THEM AND THEN STARTED PUTTING DOWN THE BARK (SOME OF OUR SWEET FRIENDS GAVE US THE BARK, THEY WERE CHANGING IT TO SOMETHING ELSE, SWEET DEAL YEAH?!) THEY ARE AWESOME!
DONE WITH THE BARK, ISN'T IT LOOKING SO GOOD!!??
THIS IS WHAT RY DID WHILE DOING THE GARDEN.
RYAN... WELL BEING RYAN! I LOVE HIM!!

HAYDEN update...

Hayden is growing so fast. i can't believe it! I had his weekly weigh-in today, he has gained 1lb 2oz in 8 days!!!! So amazing. He is now...drum roll...6lbs 11oz and 19 inches long!! The doc wants the babies to gain 1oz/day so he is far surpassing the expectations! We have been so blessed with the health of our babies considering the babies we have;) and the problems we have later in the years!

Thank you all for you continued thoughts and prayers in our behalf. I can't even begin to repay everybody for all we have received so I am going to do the only thing I can do and just pay it forward when I am given the opportunity!!

God Bless!
