*Reflections*

I don't really have anything specific to blog about, just thought I would post some cute pictures and reflect on this past year. 2011 has a been a wonderful year full of lots of changes for our little family. We moved back to Arizona in January, then 5 months later moved temporarily to WA for Josh's work. We bought a beautiful house in Gilbert, AZ (which I can't WAIT to move into and do all the upgrades that I want to it, and make it our sweet home!). We then decided we were going to stay in WA a little longer which is soooooo bitter/sweet and a hard decision to make, but in the end was for the best.

Our sweet little Jaden has blossomed into the cutest toddler EVER! He talks all the time saying: "uh ooh", waves bye bye and says it too, "Da Da","Ma Ma", and "Pa Pa" (short for grandpa). He is learning so much so fast, WALKING everywhere AWWW I love it!! I also decided to give up on taking away his bottle, I'll do it when I feel he is ready, but that is not now, and I have no idea when it will be. I have learned with Jaden that he will do things when he is ready, and I'll just go with my motherly instincts on what I think is best and not to worry so much about the little things (like him being a fussy solid eater, which is getting better). Being a mommy is the BEST and HARDEST job ever and I wouldn't trade it for the world. This past year I think I have grown a lot as a mother and wife, learning that not ever day is going to be perfect or easy, but that I can get through it with the love and support of my wonderful hubby and my Father in Heaven. I don't think I have ever prayed as much in my life then I have since I became a mommy, and know that I need my Heavenly Father in order to get through life successfully!

So yeah that's pretty much all I have to say till my Christmas post, so here are some cute pictures because what's a post without pictures?!






I found Jaden sleeping like this and couldn't resist taking a picture!

Jaden hasn't always been a snuggler but he has started to grow into it which I LOVE!!


While I was doing this post, I hear some commotion going on in the kitchen, and loan and behold Jaden is sitting in the dishwasher taking out all the silverware hahah so cute!

A kiss for good luck at the game!

*Honeymoon*

Josh and I went on a wonderful honeymoon to Cancun, Mexico for 8 day 7 nights in an all inclusive resort. We had a blast from relaxing on the beach, swimming with the dolphins, snorkeling, all the way to taking a tour to the Chichen-itza Pyramids (that was Josh's favorite). All and all it was a very fun and romantic honeymoon and we owe it all to my new in-laws for making it possible!
