*Drake's 9 month pictures*

Picture overload..I'm sorry..but I just love this little guy!! It was a little chilly while taking these pictures...but I just want to Thank Angie for taking them for us..WE LOVE THEM!!!

It's about time!!

Wow!! Has this past month and half been so busy..It's been awhile since I posted on our blog. I am going to try and do better this year.
We had a Great Thanksgiving with Skyler's family. Christmas was different for us this year, being that we are parents now. I didn't realize how different my life is until Christmas. It was so fun to watch Drake open his presents(he had NO idea what was going on). He is getting so big. 9 months now almost 10. He hasn't figured out how to crawl forward, and he would rather try and walk then crawl. My mom always says,"Drake is thinking, why crawl when people just pick me up." When I took Drake to his 9 month check up he failed for the first time, as a parent I was a little worried. It was just becasue he isnt' crawling. The Dr assured me that he would crawl and not to worry..He is still a little guy..weighing in at 17.14 lbs and about 28.5 inches long.
Our life is still super busy and I'm sure it won't slow down for awhile. I hope all of you had a great Holiday and New Year. I hope you all enjoy these pictures!

*Thanksgiving*

As I sit here today thinking about all things I am Thankful for there is so much that I am Thankful for this day. I am so Thankful for the gospel in my life, and what it teaches me everyday. I am Thankful for a Husband you loves me and provides for me and our son. He always wants us to have the best and loves both of us. I am so blessed to be a mom, what a great blessing Drake has brought into our home. He is learning all the time. What a blessing it is to have a little perfect person to wake up to every morning, who is always so happy and full of life. I don't know what my life would be like without him. Drake you mean so much to your mom and dad and we love you..
I am grateful for my job, and for Skylers job and the opportunities that they bring to us each day. I am so grateful for our home that we have to live in, the food that we eat and a bed to sleep in. I am also very grateful for FAMILY this time of year. Skyler and I have been very blessed with such great families. I just want to Thank my MOM for all that she does for us. I just want her to know how much I love her, I look up to her so much and truly call her one of my BEST FRIENDS. She is always there to listen and have a shoulder to cry on, someone to laugh with and just talk. Thank you MOM for all you do for me..Drake Loves his grandma too..I am also grateful for FRIENDS, who are there when you need them. I am grateful for my Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ and for all that they have done so that I can live on this earth today. I am so Thankful for a living Prophet who leads and guides our church.
There is much more that I am so grateful for, but I don't bore you all with it all. I hope everyone can have a great THANKSGIVING...
