Shiloh's first word

As advanced as Shiloh is, i mean walking at 7 months and running at 8 months, skipped crawling, and  the first word he said was " thank you"   or in his wording" dank you"   i mean.. this kid is something else! Jasper's first word was " shoes"  anyways he said it yesterday but i didnt catch on till today.  :) thought i would share that. Im just going to upload photos of the past two days. That will fill you in.

Happy Birthday my little Jasper

3 years ago today at 1:54 I gave birth to Jasper.  What an amazing 3 years it has been! Love this little boy!  When i first got pregnant with Jasper there was another story that most people do not know about. And im ready to share it now that i am more okay and have not quite moved on, but remembering more now, i almost blocked it out of my memory because it was to painful. But here is the story.

There was two. I lost one and i was blessed to have one still live. That was Jasper.  

I am writing about this because i feel that it is " her" birthday as well.  I want to honor them both.

Happy birthday little one.

Today Jasper and i got to spend some one on one time with each other. We watched movies, watered flowers, blew bubbles, and played catch. I loved the time i had with him alone. He is growing up so fast and is such an intelligent little boy.  We also went to the aquarium with his cousin Kinny and his Aunt Tyne, and Shiloh, and Grandma and Grandpa Whitehair. It was fun! He loved seeing the fish. And loved exploring. It was frustrating when we had to leave....he became somewhat.....a toddler hahah, you know..bad tantrum

but he fell asleep on the way home.

It was a fun day for him. I'm grateful to have him in my life.  My little boy is so smart and so intelligent.  The day he was born, i remember walking into a law office and right as i walked into the door my water broke, everyone was just stairing at me and one woman offered me a diaper. 

Luckily my mom was there with me and she rushed me into the hospital. Ben was not far behind.  I went natural from dilatation 7 on. it was misery during that time. haha i'm not going to lie.  But i held him for the first time and my heart never felt so much love.   He was strong and i knew it. He has since blessed our lives completely. Handsome little pup.  

We love our little Jasper. 

Happy Birthday.

Easter

As the sun came up yesterday i sat there and thought of Mary, how she went to the tomb and saw he was missing. I could almost feel her pain. Going from seeing her boy hang on the cross and being hated etc to going missing. Her heart must have sunk.  But than i thought of how she felt seeing him come to her alive! She must have been so relieved! What a sacrifice Jesus made for us.
 We went to church..   I felt so bad that i forgot to get the boys some Easter outfits! Luckily grandma and grandpa got some!  I used to be so good at getting stuff for the holidays, and now i have the hardest time remembering stuff!   I guess its part of being a mommy!  We also had an Easter egg hunt at our house before church.  Oh and can i just say that we ACTUALLY got to church on time?  How awesome is that?!  Jasper and Shiloh couldn't stay in sacrament meeting. They are the loud ones you hear while speakers are talking.  They are the ones that scream and talk loud, they are the ones that people stair rudely at because they are so loud. yep..those are my boys.    Anyways so we took them out into the area where people wait. They had a better time out there haha     We than went to Grandma and Grandpas to have dinner and a Easter egg hunt there. Jasper, Shiloh, McKinley and the Jacobs were all there! I loved having my whole family there!  It was fun!  I love my little family!    Our chicks are finally in a coop outside now:)  Such Cuties!
