What a Wonderful Life

Seth & i were just getting ready for bed and having our nightly 'talk time' and i was so overwhelmed with how very blessed i am. I love my family so much. I spent the day with my mom and little Nicci and realized that i really have never been happier than i am right now. My mom and i are very best friends; i am so grateful to have her close to me in every way and to have her loving guidance in every aspect of my life. Her selfless love blesses so many lives, including very much my own. I have seriously the most amazing husband. He works so hard for our little family and always comes home with a smile and ready to play hard with his girls before he retires to bed. There's no place i'd rather be than wrapped up in his hugs. I have an incredible father that works harder than anyone i've ever met. He will answer his phone in the middle of any meeting just to answer whatever ridiculous question i have for him. And i absolutely could not survive without my adorable little girl. She is my pride & joy...my entire life. I have been so sick this past week and she has been so good for me. Everytime i coughed or sneezed she'd say, "Bless you Mommy." It just brightened my day to hear those three words. As i watch her run around everyday (while i miss her Daddy like crazy) i see so much of her wonderful father in her...i see his gorgeous eyes when she looks at me, his sweet smile when she laughs, and his love as she hugs me or says a prayer on her food before she eats. She's perfect. She is a literal angel that our Father in Heaven has blessed us with. I could not ask for a more beautiful and loving little girl. I could not ask for a more pure hearted & perfect mother. I could not ask for a more understanding & hard working father. I could not ask for a more loving, hard working, and literally perfect husband, and i certainly could not ask for a sweeter, happier, and more angelic child than my precious Nicci. I could not ask for a happier life. I'm so very blessed and so incredibly thankful for my kind Heavenly Father.

I can't wait til our little girl is born to our family! I hope that she is as loving and well behaved as Nicci! We love her so much! We love you guys so much too! lol! I am glad that you are feeling better...take care of yourself sweetie! Oh, and I love the new color of your hair too! I really need to change my hair BAD! What should I do? Any ideas? Love you!

Okay I really love your hair. Who would have ever thought that you were so versatile. Looks great!

Lindsay said...

You guys are so cute! I love it when they start singing and doing the actions for all of those nursery and primary songs!

Shelise said...

Glad you're feeling better. I cant wait till Hudson talks and can do cute stuff like this. She seems like such a sweet little girl. How fun. I hope so bad that I have a girl next. So I didnt realize that Nicci has to have another surgery. When does that happen?

That video was SOOO precious! Nicci is so dang cute and you are such a darling mommy. And I love your hair! I just chopped all of mine off too. Feels great, huh? Aaron calls Las Vegas "the burning inferno of death" so I'm glad to have a more Vegas-friendly hair cut for the summer. P.S. Any advice for keeping cute baby girls cooler in the hot car/carseat? Emery pretty much freaks in the heat. What a Utah baby.

It's so hard for me to think of you with a kid! I know I know it has been years since I saw you but I swear it's like it was yesterday. Nicci is so dang stinkin adorable and of course so are you and of course so is your sweet hubby. How cute he was to point out your short hair! How sweet. Next time you all come down we will have to get together and do dinner or something! Emma will just eat Nicci up!

Your hair looks so great. This is the most fun stage, when your kids are just starting to sing songs, and you can show off how smart they are.
