Tayla and I

Here it is finally a picture of Tayla and me. I know it was over the summer. This was at Lagoon, we had so much fun. I love my family and my life.

Growing Pains!!!

Growing pains!!!!! Life seems to be a little challenging lately. I have lost myself and I am trying to figure out who I am and what I need. I know that there will be obstacles ahead and it is a matter of how you get throught them that truely makes life worth wild. I enjoy my family and now that I am a mother I put myself on the backburner most of the time. I try my best at making my life enjoyable for everyone else, and in the meantime I forget about myself. I know that is what I am supose to do, and I am so lucky to have an amazing family to make me smile to get me through these daily trials. God has giving me many blessings and I know his path for me is going to be incredible. I have learned that god won't give me more than I can handle so I have to believe that these are just growing pains.
