 "Guess what uncle Dallas? My birthday is coming up!"  I love that she said this and has been so excited for her birthday! My little baby is growing up! It's not fair that time goes by so fast and we only get a little bit of time with them before they get their own families. I need to love every minute with them now!

 Taking a break from opening all her presents.  It is a lot of work!

 hasn't stopped playing with this since she got it!

 LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!

cute jammies!

Kaydence, You are already three.  I remember when we found out that you were going to have a birth defect , it was the day we found out we were having a girl.  I remember feeling so overwhelmed and feeling sad by the thought of you in pain as soon as you came into this world.  I received a blessing shortly after we found out and an overwhelming feeling of peace entered into my heart and I knew that everything was going to be okay.  You were in the hospital for two months.  It was hard for me and daddy to see you in there but I would come up everday and just hold you.  I hated leaving you at the hospital but I knew that you were in safe hands because my blessing told me there would be angels that would be with you!  You were such a little fighter, it was like you knew before you came here that you were going to have to go through this trial, and you were so strong.  Your personality now explains why Heavenly Father new you could go through it!  You were a fighter and you still are.  I hope you will always keep that fiesty attitude of yours and always remember that Mommy and Daddy love you so much and that Heavenly Father Loves you too! He will always be there for you no matter what! Mommy and Daddy will not always be perfect parents, we will always be striving to be that way but it's just a plain fact that we will never be perfect but Heavenly Father is perfect.  Even if you don't decide to come to mommy and daddy at times I hope you will always remember that you can go to Him.  Through him we can become perfect.  I love you so much!!!! I can't believey you are three!  Happy Birthday!!!! :)

Love, Mommy

Ever since I bought Kaydence's swimsuit she has been dying to wear it, so I thought it would be fun if they wore them for bathtime and they looked so cute!!!!  I love these pictures!  Kaydence loves being a little mommy to Adallyn! I especially love Adallyn's smile in these pictures!

I got Kaydence's haircut again and she was so tired the poor thing fell asleep. I ended up having to hold her head up so that Courtney could finish cutting it!!! I thought it was all good and she would just stay asleep the rest of the night but I was wrong, she woke up at 9 and didn't go back to sleep until 12. You kept mommy awake Kaydence, but I still love you!!!! :)
