Nick"s Batizem

I just want to say how thankful i am with Nick choice to be baptized into the church! You are such a great example to your younger brothers and to your friends. I know that Heavenly Father is so happy with the choice you made on Saturday to be baptized and to take his gift of the Holy Ghost. That is the most important gift you got. I want you to know that this church is the true church and that you will always be loved.

Six months ago

It has been Six months since he was in the Hospital, it has been a short, fun, hard,sweet, loving, long, happy, sad, emotional six months. But I would never trade it for anything. I love all our children so much and no matter what they put me though I will always love them. I am so grateful for Zack and that he is here with us. You are the the third best thing to happen to me after meeting Chad.

Bath time or Play time?

Zack just decided that he likes his baths. He makes it very hard for me to wash him, but he is very cute crawling back and forth.
It is fun watching his little personality come out.

He keeps going and going...

Dose this little guy ever stop... No!!! He is determind to be with everyone.
