fun in the sun

Since today was such a BEAUTIFUL day, we just HAD to go outside and have a girls/ boy day with Brittany, Avery, and baby Blakely ( in the womb ) l0l !

We started out eating lunch outside and blowing bubbles to then stripping down to nothing and playing in the hose :) All in all, we had a GREAT day :)

Blowing bubbles :)

You know, Just eating our pops naked l0l

As tradition, the girls HAD to have a bubble bath <3

The joy of warm weather, is that it does this to the kids :), especially after having fun in the sun with our Best Friends <3

A day at the Atlanta Zoo

This weekend while we had some BEAUTIFUL weather, we decided to go to the Atlanta Zoo with our good friends Nichole, Luis, and their daughter Aliyah ! The girls had SO much fun and so did Bryson !! They loved seeing all the animals and hearing all the different sounds each and everyone of them made ! We also discovered how much room we REALLY have in our new Chevy Traverse l0l we had the girls in the very back, Bryson, Nichole, and I in the second row, then Blake and Luis in the front. Keep in mind we had 3 diaper bags, 2 strollers ( 1 double, and one single) and still had room !!! Boy do I love my new SUV ! 

On Our way to the Zoo !!!

4 month milestones

Happy 4 months BRYSON !!!!!

Weight: 18lbs

Height: 27in

It seems like Bryson is growing up way faster then lex did. He is at the top of his charts for everything, They are even saying that he is going to be a tall boy, which my first thought is " You Think !" l0l ! He is SO Alert and loves to be involved in everything we do ! He has mastered the rolling "stage, and is now working on getting up on his hands and knees and begin the stages of crawling :) He is very expressive and very flirty ! He loves to growl and then laugh after, as well as he loves food, his toy "hippy", Finding nemo, his toy birdy, and so much more !! He is finally starting to like riding in the car, but the only downfall is, he is already starting to outgrow his carseat and breaking my back getting him in and out l0l 

Watching the snow :)

His new BFF Micah our next door neighbor :)

Im in love with his beautiful silly faces <3

Being silly :)

Bryson, 

You have completed my life, and because of you our family is complete. You are such an amazing baby ! I love each and everyone of your noises and expressions. Your Growl melts my heart and I cant help but laugh out of love. I LOVE your smiles and your cute little giggle. I love how you are so into watching Your sister Alexa and messing with her, It melts my heart when I see you two playing and giggling. In the end, you are perfect and I love you SO VERY MUCH !

An Angel above

In the end of the year 2012 my niece Madison Sophia Young became an angel,
A day that I will always remember <3

The loss of a loved one is not something I've had to go through as much as others have, The loss of a precious baby, is something I have never gone through or had someone very close to me go through. Its not something you normally think or even talk about when you are expecting, Given those thoughts do  cross an expecting mothers mind more then most during the first 12 weeks or until you are in the "clear", But as I have learned no one is ever really in the "clear". Since my sweet niece became an angel, I have seen and heard how common this tragedy really is. My heart goes out to all the families that have been through this chapter in their lives.

Madison, 

Im not sure of where to even start, except that I love you like you were my own. You have changed my life in ways I never thought were possible. You have shown me to never take things or life for granted, to appreciate everything I have no matter the cost or amount, that I have the world at my finger tips and that I am capable to do whatever my heart desires, but most importantly you have taught me how precious life truly is, and so much more. The moment I held you, I felt a bond between us had been made and engraved into my soul. I still to this day go back to that moment when you were in my arms, and I was telling you who I was and how much I loved you, except this time instead of tears of sadness, It gives me tears of joy knowing that I had the opportunity to meet you. I imagine what kind of relationship we would have had here on earth everyday, and I know one day when we meet again, and  we will be able to have that aunt and niece relationship that I looked forward to having with you. You are a very much loved little girl and always will be, and there is never a moment where I dont think about you. Every time I feel myself getting lost in the thought of how its still not fair that you arent here with us, a sign always seems to pop out of nowhere and a feeling of peace comes about me. I know I didnt get very long with you and I wasnt able to be that aunt that your mom is to your cousins Alexa and Bryson, but even in that short amount of time I know that you had a heart of gold and that you were filled with joyous life just like your mom and dad. 

xoxo

Uncle Blake, Aunt Jackie, Alexa & Bryson

 You are Forever in our hearts <3

Mike and Sara,

First, I want to say Thank you for allowing me to meet Madison, To hold her and to tell her how much I loved her. I know Im constantly saying this to you guys, but you two are the strongest couple and the strongest individuals that I have ever met. I know somedays it doesnt seems like that to you guys, but the strength you two have is mind blowing. Im so sorry you guys are going through this and I want you guys to know, that I love you both SO MUCH and that im here day or night, rain or shine.  Still to this day I find myself lost at words, and would do ANYTHING to take it all away from you two. I know Madison is watching down on you two, smiling and guiding you both in the right direction. She is a very lucky girl to have you guys as parents and to have us as her family !
