Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34
There is a time for everything. and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refine, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
In God's timing everything is perfect. This is something I have to remind myself when I am hurting.

Today Audrey and Erik came over and we bundled the boys up and went for a walk. It was cold, but nice to get that crisp fresh air. After the walk the boys played. It is so much fun to see how much they change and how different they are. They both are standing and crawling. It is cute to see what toys they are interested in and what they do with those toys. I swear Ry can have three toys in his hands and still want the one Erik has. Today Ryan was seriously copying almost everything Erik was doing. If Erik was standing than Ry would stand if Erik was playing with the basket than Ryan would play with the basket. I am thankful that the boys have each other. Although right now they hit, take each others toys and food from one another (well mostly Ryan is the bruiser) I cannot wait to watch them grow up together. Here are some pictures from our day!

Bath time with Daddy ended with a splash!!!!









The pictures say it all!!! Yes that is Pee



Today is Rexer and I 10 year anniversary. On this day 10 years ago he asked me out on the back of his wrestling picture in math class. I waited until lunch to say yes. That seems like a life time ago. This day is really important to us because really it was the beginning of our relationship. Today we were chatting just about our lives, things we have done, things we would like to do and it seems like life just goes by so quickly. Here are some pictures of the product of our love.

The good,bad and ugly

I have realized that live is full of good, bad and ugly. The only thing in my life that is really ugly is the fact that I have changed two poopy diapers and it is not even 4:00 yet. The bad is that my little boy is becoming so independent, I cherish those moments that he wants to be held or snuggled. Most of the time I am a climbing tool or a vessel to get him from one place to another. The good, well the good is really awesome; I am a Mother. As most of you know at one point I was not sure that I would be able to have children. I look at Ry and I cannot remember those days, he was worth the wait all of the heartache and throwing up for 6 months. I hung out with a girlfriend who is 1 week overdue today, she is so excited to meet her little guy. We had a wonderful afternoon filled with laughter and tears. It gave me perspective I remember the feelings right before you are about to meet your little one and than the instant love you feel when they are here. Motherhood is full of ups, downs twist and turns and if you have read my blog you have seen some of my struggles in the last couple of weeks. But to see the joy and excitement of a new mother is amazing. It is infectious and reminds me of all the the little things that are so amazing about life.

Ryan Matthew

Well our little guy is officially mobile. He moves around this house like he owns the place. He can now get up the stairs from the living room to the kitchen with no problem, and boy let me tell you he can move. Thank God for child locks, because he is into every draw and cupboard in the kitchen. He found the drawer that has all of his bottles, sipy cups and plates in it. Today he proceeded to take all of the items out he does the same thing with his book shelf in his room. Although it makes a mess he seems to be so proud of himself when he his done and he gets so excited while he is doing it-it is totally worth the mess. He is constantly discovering new things in the house, it is fun to watch him and see what he is going to play with or get into. Today he stood by himself unassisted again. He is getting more and more confident in his legs everyday. Last night we went out to dinner, he loves to look around and he always makes sure that every eye is on him. One of my favorite things he does right now is when someone walks around the corner out of his sight, he will stretch his head out or try to look around the corner to find you. Also you can say where is momma or daddy and he will look at us. He is growing more and more independent, I love his stubborn yet sweet personality.

Four front teeth


This is a terrible picture, so I apologize but look at those teeth. They are huge! Double click on the picture and you can see the teeth better.

Lazy Sunday

I love days like today, days when you do nothing all day but whatever you want to do. We all slept in today until 10, yes I am serous. Even the little guy slept until 10. He started to fuss at 7 and Rex went in and gave him a bottle than he was out until 10. It was wonderful for all of us to get that extra sleep. We ended up going to a later church service which was nice. Rexer is on a 4-day so I am hoping we can get some things done around the house. Ryan's top 4 teeth are really showing, he is going to look so different when they are all the way through. They seem to be big teeth like I have, I am sure that they will continue to change.
