Happy 13 Years...

I am posting this now because Jamie will be home for the weekend. It all started out with me going to a car show with Kirk, Audra, Jamie and his girlfriend, and one of Jamie's friends. They were trying to set me up with Jamie's friend. He was a super nice guy but very quiet and we weren't hitting it off. Through the night in the corner of my eye I could see Jamie starring at me. I thought "what a creep! His girlfriend is right next to him and he is looking at me" but deep down inside feeling the butterflies of excitement and wishing that we were a couple and thinking it will never happen. Well guess what! I never imagined that we would end up together soon after. Jamie and I clicked on our first date as if we had known each other forever. We went to Ruby River in Salt Lake and to this day it is still our favorite restaurant. He could hypnotize me with his eyes and rail me in. His eyes tell me everything between love, sadness, anger, and excitement. I am still hypnotized by his big hazel eyes and he will always be able to rail me in. We lived together for about a year and on October 12th we were married. We decided from day one that we wanted to start a family early. We both love and adore children. On April 15th we brought our beautiful Kelsee Paige into this world. Wow! We were so happy and never imagined we could love her so much. This brought us wanting more. November 1st Mattee Lynn came into our lives and we were filled with over joy. We waited for 7 years before deciding it was time for more. On May 30th Avree Marie was born. We now wonder why we waited so long before receiving this precious little girl from Heaven. Then 6 months later we were blessed with a surprise. Yep another little girl was going to join our family. On September 4th Hadlee Belle was born. This sweet little beautiful bundle of joy is here and can not imagine her not being with us. What a blessing our daughters are in our lives. We love them with every breath and heartbeat we take. Jamie and I have built many amazing memories in our lives together and with our children. Our love for each other grows stronger everyday and I still feel those butterflies of excitement for him like we just met. He is an amazing father and husband. We are first in his life and he does all he can to make us happy. I have truly been blessed with a beautiful family. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for Jamie and my girls. I love you Sparky and you will always be the love of my life. I look forward to the day that we can make it for eternity...

Need I say more.....isn't she beautiful!

Hadlee Belle Forbes...

Our sweet Hadlee Belle joined our family on September 4, 2009 at 1:17 p.m. She weighed 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 20 inches long. She has a ton of auburn hair and is curly when wet. She held her head up from day one and is very alert. She is very strong. She looks a lot like my baby pictures. She is such a sweet little angel. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. Her sisters adore her. Little Avree is protective of her and loves to help mommy burp her. If Hadlee's toe or finger is sticking out of her blanket Avree covers it up. I am so truly blessed to have my 4 beautiful daughters. They are truly angels from above. I love them with all my heart and I am so grateful to have our little Hadlee with us. I love you Hadlee Belle! XoXoXoXo

Avree was voted one of "2009 America's Most Beautiful Babies". Her little picture and name will be published in a book which I will receive in 2-3 months. Her daddy, mommy and sisters are very proud of her. My sweet little angel I love you so....

Back to School...

Kelsee and Mattee went back to school yesterday. Kelsee started junior high and was so nervous but after a fun first day of school she couldn't figure out what she was nervous about. She loved it! Mattee started 3rd grade. She says 3rd grade is the best so far but likes the early out days. She cracks me up. She already made 3 new friends. She never has problems making friends. I love you girls!

I only have 10 days left until Hadlee arrives. Woof am I ready!
