Has It Really Been Two Years Since I Updated My Blog?!?

Yikes I really forgot about this blog for a while. My life has changed immensely since I last posted two years ago. I really feel a great deal of release when I write my thoughts and feelings, so I have decided to start posting on my blog again. So what has changed since my last blog post? Practically my whole life as I knew it. So here is a rundown of my life. In the beginning of the summer in 2011 I started talking to a coworker of mine. We became friends and in July 2011 we started dating. After only a couple dates I knew he was the one I was supposed to marry. We got married in February of 2012 and welcomed our baby boy Jayden on April 7, 2012
Jayden is a little spit fire. He has a contagious personality and keeps me on my feet. He does the funniest things, and fills my days with laughter. Right now at 16 months he is full of life and love. 
He has cute mannerisms and I fall more and more in love with him each day. He is learning how to talk and is trying to say a new word every few days. His first word was bye-bye and he waves as he says it. He also says mama, dada, hello, and thank you. Most words are still mostly unintelligible but from listening I have been able to decipher some of them. He is gaining independence and loves to feed himself, and tries to help with other things as well. He loves to dance on the coffee table, and he also tries to unscrew the lids off of bottles and such and try to put them back on. Here he is trying to put a soda lid back on. He brings me so much happiness and I am so grateful he is in my life.
He is a good sleeper and started sleeping through the night at 2 months. I'm so lucky. 
His smiles lights up my life.
He really loves his brother. Here he is giving him kisses.
He got into the Desitin and painted himself. He also tried to feed Eli.
Jayden likes to sit in chairs and will use anything as a chair such as boxes and toys when his chair isn't around.
He loves to push this little lawn mower around.
In September 2012 we found out we were expecting our second baby. Eli was born on April 23, 2013. He is such a sweet baby and right from the beginning I could sense his sweet personality. He is a snuggly little baby, and loves to be held whenever possible. Here he is with Kylor.
Here is another picture with Lexi holding him.
His sweet spirit melts my heart, and I know he will be a friend to many in this life. Right now at 4 months old his personality is really starting to show. He is smiling lots, and his grin is the best thing ever! 
Since he was born he has been trying to get his thumb into his mouth, and today he finally succeeded. Jayden also started sucking his thumb at 4 months. 
He also rolled half way over today but his thumb in his mouth prevented him from going any further.
He coos when you talk to him, and in the morning when he wakes up he gives the biggest grins, so happy to be awake! I could just kiss his sweet face all day.
He is so peaceful when he sleeps, and I truly catch a glimpse of heaven when I look at his peaceful face.
I love my boys so much and I am so grateful our Father in Heaven has entrusted me with their care. 
Here is a picture of Eli being held by my grandma.
So sweet :)
Well that's all for now. I will try to blog more often, so stop by whenever you get a chance.
