One of the only people I know that can do this...
So last night I was going thru a bunch of pictures of Hannah when she was tiny. It made me so sad! Time just goes way to fast. The kids and I were home alone last night because Jesse is in Rexburg for work. Hannah wasn't wanting to sleep so I called her down to the comupter and she sat with me for about 45 min. looking at pictures of herself as a newborn and so on. I have never shown her the pics of her when she was that tiny I guess. She just sat in awe .. huge eyes and just looked as we scrolled thru the pictures. I would explain what each pictures was.. from just after she was born to the time she was about 1. Everytime I would tell her a story about something she would say... "Tell me that story again".. It was so fun to sit with her.. just the two of us.. in the quiet and remember fun stories and exciting times. On that note.. it is her 3rd birthday next wednesday. My how time flies. I remember thinking when she was tiny.. "i just want her to stay this little forever.. because she is so fun".. and as time went on.. I kept saying that at every stage. She still gets even more fun every day. She is such a sweet little thing. Looking at those pictures last night made me realize that I take for granted the time I spend with my kids. Hearing the story of that cute little 7 year old girl, Hser Nay Moo (spelling might be wrong) who was killed just really hit home. Then looking at those pictures it made me realize that sometimes I do just think of being a mom as "my job".. or just what women do.. but WHAT A BLESSING!! Such a blessing that Heavenly Father trusts us with these sweet little kids... and what an awesome opportunity. I decided after being so saddened by Hser Nay Moo that I really really need to be better about cherishing every second with my kids.. good days and bad.. because they are only little for a minute. I feel like sometimes I rush to get them big.. especially Hannah.. and thats horrible. Racquel.. maybe Cameo.. maybe both.. have a decorative tile in her/their home that says "Let them be little." Its so true. I think we all need to make sure that we cherish every single second we have with these sweet little spirits. SOOO NOW THAT I HAVE BASICALLY "BLOGGED" MY TESTIMONY!! HA HA.. Since it is almost Hannah's Birthday and I have been thinking a lot about her latley.. I wanted to post a few pics of Hannah that I was looking at last night... Oh she was sooooo tiny and sweet! I can't believe.. looking at those pic's.. that that is my girl!! So cute!!
Pretty Proud Dad!!

She was a beautiful baby and she just keeps getting more beautiful. Oh it is so sad to see how fast they grow, time flys.
Time does fly, what a doll she was and still is. Thanks for sharing those memories and cute pictures.
She's so cute! It's so good for them to see all the pictures you have of them growing up, it makes them feel like they "belong". Darcy LOVES looking at pictures of herself as a baby and even though she and Parker looked a LOT alike as babies, she can always tell which is which.
