HOPE 1 Year Old

Hope's FIRST Steps

My Mothers Day Present!

Hope has been so silly about walking. She loves to walk as long as she is holding your hand, but as of May 8th she took her first steps alone and has decided it is not scary at all but actually really fun! She has been walking all over the house now, all it took was a little confidence. It is so exciting to see my baby learning, and growing, and finally... Walking!

Mothers Day 2010

I love my girls more than anything in the world! 

I am thankful everyday because I am a MOM.  

It is the greatest accomplishment of my life. 

I couldn't be luckier!

And I love MY mommy so much!  And my brothers and sister!

Hope Loves Her Doggy

Doggy hugs

Cute for sure

She thinks the dog is a horse

Band-Aids

Kimmys newest obsession....

I'll tell her she gets a prize for being a good girl and she chooses of course.. Band-Aids.

She was really excited to get these rainbow ones.

And like always she has to pose for a picture!

Silly Sisters

Kimmy is always trying to make Hope laugh ...

They love each other so much

Kimberlee-Ann ... Tiny Dancer

Ever since I was pregnant and found out I was having a girl I couldn't wait for Kimmy to be old enough to be in dance classes! I am so proud of her and in my opinion she is the cutest little dancer I have ever seen!

Happy 1st Birthday Hopey!

Wyoming ?

I can't believe it has all ready been a year since Steven got back from Wyoming last March! It has been a really great year and I cherish everyday that I have with him... since he is going back to work in Wyoming again soon I feel like every day is too short and I really don't want him to get sent away for work again :( I feel really selfish because I know that there are couples and families out there whose husbands/daddys are in the military and get deployed and go to war... That would be so scary, and I have sooo much respect for those military families!

So we just are living day by day enjoying every little thing, and all the time we can together as a family. It is hard not knowing where Steven will be in the next few weeks. I know the girls and I will be stuck her in Utah until the end of June at least.. But after then who knows???

And it is going to be hard when Steven goes to Wyoming because I am pretty sure I will have to work less because I can't be having my girls at babysitters until midnight... which makes me sad because I love my job right now, and the system we have going right now with Steven taking care of the girls while I am at work is working out great. Again I have so much respect for single parents out there!

No matter what though Kimmy and Hope come first. And me and Steven know that whatever choices we make, we do it to make our kids lives better and our family stronger.
