Can you believe my baby is 5?!!

Aden, You are soooooo loved!!! 

I love to give you kisses

 and cuddle with you

and tickle you

and laugh with you

and have you tell me "secrets"

and wake up to you in my bed

and just to be around you.  

You are such a special boy.  

I can't believe that you are 5 years old.

It seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital giving birth.

I love you more every day and can't imagine what the next 5 years will bring.  

I love you little one.  

You are so funny and fun right now.  

I wish you could stay 5 forever.  

But, alas, you must grow and get old.

So, I must document the journey!  

Here are just a few of my favorite pictures of you...

You always give me the best kisses!!

You LOVE to help do anything in the kitchen.  And, you LOVE chips and salsa.  This is you helping me make salsa.

This picture is when you were 2 1/2 years old.  You are sooooo stinking adorable!! 

Check out those dimples!! 

You LOVE to take pictures with my camera.  And everytime you see it, you want it...BAD.  You usually get it and take pictures of odd things.  But, you LOVE it!!  

I love you buddy.  My  big, huge 5 year old!! 

6th file, 6th pic tag!!

Thanks for the tag Natalia!  (I needed to blog, but, didn't have anything I felt like blogging about.)  So, here is my 6th file, 6th picture. 

 This is a picture of one of my most favorite people in the world!! She is my sister, Taya.  She is absolutely an amazing woman!! I am constantly impressed with her strength, Christ-like attitude/behavior, kindness and love!  So, I now tag:  all of my sisters (yes, that includes Stacie and you too Jen), Mom, Kasey and anyone else who feels like joining in!!  It's kinda fun and random!  Have fun!

Happy Mother's Day to...

All of the amazing women who inspire me to be a better mom!! I love you all!!!! 

 I hope you all have a wonderful day!!  

For my Mom...

Happy Mother's day....to pretty much the best mom in the world!! She has taught me just about everything I know, and continues to teach me new things too. I love that she is a happy person. She loves to have fun, cook, go out to lunch/dinner, read, blog, design all sorts of random things, sew, can food, make bread, sing, play the piano and about a million other things. And she is amazingly good at ALL of it!! I feel so very blessed to have her for my mom! Thanks Mom for being you!! I love you!!
