look who woke up with some confidence!

Jett is 8.5 months old and is pulling himself up on everything and ever so slowly is starting to creep along the furniture. Today he stood for a couple of minutes with out holding on to anything!! I was seriously so amazed! He seriously has gained so much 

confidence over night!

we just love him.

Today is my Dads birthday and while he is no longer with us  on this earthThe husband, the little mister and I will be celebrating with a little cake and a lot of ice cream the birth of a man that will always be bigger then life. He was truly loved and has been sincerely missed.

sometimes the very human side of me feels angry that his time on earth was so very short, shorter then any of us would have liked. I feel badly that my Mom had to lose her husband and when my siblings need him that he isn't here. Then I always smile to myself as the overwhelming peace and reassurance wash over me because he still is with us. I am grateful for the knowledge that families can be together forever.

last year me and my pregnant self celebrated this oh so very special occasion with my six older sistas' with a fun filled  weekend in SLC! the fun o meter was definitely broken that weekend ;)

Happy Birthday Dad!! We Love you!
