One

My friend was so kind and took pictures of Aaron for his first birthday. They are absolutely perfect and capture his personality perfectly. 
I can't believe I have a toddler now. I can't believe how much he's grown over the past year. 
It's been so humbling and magical to watch him discover everything for the first time. This world can be a nasty place, but it can also be so beautiful. 
We're so blessed with Aaron. He has a pretty chill personality for the most part, and he sleeps like a champ. He's super giggly and smiley, but also contemplative. 


I can't believe he couldn't even hold up his neck, and now he's almost walking. 

He's my little twin and best friend. I never knew how special a relationship with a son can be.


He loves carbs, balls, wheels, going to Grandma's house, Taylor Swift, and his pacifiers. 


We've had so much support this last year and I'm so grateful for it. 

Every time I hold him, he grabs my hair or my shirt and while it hurts sometimes, I love it. 

He really loves his aunts and uncles. 






When I was at the doctor once, he reached up and held my hand from his stroller when I was feeling a little nervous. 


Before bed every night I tell Sammy that my heart hurts. It's with pure joy. Every night when Sammy gets home, Aaron is full of giggles and laughter. It's such a happy time, and the second he's asleep I miss him. He brings us so much joy.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
