My Baby is 5 today!

Jessica,
5 years ago today you were born. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I remember getting up early in the morning to go to the hospital for my C-Section. We were so anxious to finally meet this little person who took up all the space in my belly! I remember being SOO nervous to have surgery and so exited at the same time. We had family in town to meet you also, Aliya was one of the most exited! She could not wait to not be an only child anymore! And out you came at 7:31 am weighing in at 6 pounds 11 ounces and 20 inches long! You were so tiny with your bright red hair! We were all surprised to see how much red hair you had! you were and are still so beautiful!!! We are so blessed to have such a sweet, caring, outspoken and loving little girl! I love everything about you! I love your firey yet sweet personality! You sure are not shy most of the time, and it is so easy to fall in love with you! I love your sweet "surprises" you give me every night(kisses) and how you love to snuggle me and your little sensitive feelings. I love you so much and am so glad God gave you to us. Happy Birthday sweet girl!
Love,
Mommy

New Years!

For New years, we went to Show Low to spend time with my family. We went to the snow and the kids had so much fun!

Jessica found an older girl to slide down hills with, it was funny
And she had a snowball that she was determined to pick up! HAHA!

Finally posting again...

Ok, so it has really taken me a long time to update this blog. I could not bring myself to update it because I knew that meant that Adriana's pictures and posts would be moved back and she would not be in any new posts about our family. So I decided it was time to create her a seperate blog that I could post her things on and keep basically a diary of her and how I am feeling. It is still in the works, but I think it is looking nice so far. I still need to get her pictures and things up... Click on her picture to the right to see her blog.
