What does it mean to be a Best Friend?
My Best Friends are there for me through the good and the bad, the funny and the sad. They are useally the ones who have seen me fail and who have helped rise me back up.
Courteny has been there through it all with me. We met on the first day of high school and have been best friends ever since.
This year for her birthday she wanted her friends to celebrate with her at a concert. This day was all about celebrating my best friends birthday, but in the process I was reminded of the fun that we had before kids, bills and grown up stuff. I was brought back to when we were young, adventures and had so many dreams we did not know what to do with them.
I love my best friends because of days like this, when you are reminded how great your whole life is and how much better they make your life
My Life has forever been changed because of Courtney and I look forward to the trouble the we get into in the next 15 years.

Dear Aj,
I just want to start off with letting you know how much I hate when I miss writing your letters. You are changing and growing on a daily basis and I feel like I can't keep up. These letter's are just as much for you as they are for me. I never want to forget your infamous stink eye or the way you say dad ddee. Every minute that I am with you I am in awe with who you are becoming. These letters are a way for me to document who you are through out your life. My goal is to keep up with my letters to you for as long as I can, I am sure they will not always be as frequent, but they will always be heartfelt.
I don't know where to begin. So much has happened in the last three weeks. What can I tell you that I think you would one day want to hear. Well, you went on your first big trip! We just got back from Maui Hawaii. You were such a good boy, in so many ways. The flight was a long 5 hours for you, but you did really well flying there. On the way back it was a little bit harder for you. The trip was long. you were thrown off you schedule. You did your best, but all you wanted to do was run around and play
There is so much that I want to tell you, all of it seems so cute and so important. I feel like I will have to choose my top 3 favorite memories over the last 3 weeks, otherwise this letter will never get done.
It is very important to me that you get comfortable in the water. This year you are old enough to learn how to swim. Of course you will not be learning strokes or how to swim the distance, just how to jump into the pool properly, and get out. You are a little fish! You love to swim to Daddy and myself, jump into the pool and blow bubbles. Everyone always stops and comments on what a good little swimmer you are. I am excited to spend the summer swimming with you.
What is a nose? For you it is something to point out and pull on. You are very into finding your nose, Mommy's nose and even the cat's nose. I love how you walk up to a cat and point at it and say nose. Oh the things that you come up with.
I saved my favorite for last. while we were in Hawaii you took to cuddling with Mommy. Sure you cuddle when you have your milk at night or when you are sick but other than that you are very independent and are happy with a good hug. Because we were in a new place, with a new crib you wanted the comfort of something familiar. For the first time since you were very little (and even then you did not nap with me often) you curled into bed with me for nap and bedtime. I was in heaven! Your little body next to mine, laying in my arms, my heart melt as we feel asleep together. Of course it only lasted a couple days and now that we are home there is no more cuddling.
You keep growing and I keep loving every minute of this. I wish I could slow down time to enjoy every minute 10x over.
Love your
Mommy,

Memorial Day
Memorial Day is more than BBQ's, the first season trips to the Beach and Sales. It is a time for us all to take some time and think about the sacrifice that men and women made to serve their country's. Sunday, May 27, 2012
Hawaii
Words can't explain how great our trip to Maui was, times like these don't come very often to our very busy family so when we get 7 whole days to relax and be a family we take advantage.
Day at the Aquarium
Playing on the Beach with Mommy and Daddy
Going under the sea in a glass bottom submarine
& our first root beer float too!
Playing at the Pool with all Aj's new toys
Enjoying a watermelon treat after our afternoon swim
Hiking up to Twin Falls
My Hawaiian King and Prince
Some island treats! Coconut juice and shaved ice
Some Pretty Flowers
Seven Days goes by way to fast when you are in paradise. Hawaii you treated us well and we will be seeing you again soon

Mothers Day

Happy to Be a Mother
Before I was a Mother I thought I knew what love was but I was so wrong.
The love that I feel for my child is so deep and true. When Aj is in pain, I feel the pain with him. When he is happy I feel the joy with him. Being a mother has been an experience and a journey. I wake up every morning not knowing where the day will take me. The one thing that I know is that Aj will show me something new and wonderful. All is the days work of being a Mother.
