Jace's First Birthday!!!!

Ahh what a day, all I can say is this has been the fastest year of my life. I never thought about nor totally understood the love a mother has for her children until I myself became one. As I look back on this past year there has been many journeys I never dreamed I would take. Jace has taught me so much about myself in this one year than I have learned in my 26 years of life. All I can say is the Lord obviously knows me and knew this perfect child would send me all the guidance I have been waiting for.
Jace came to this world being a sweet baby who hardly cried now at the end of this first year I feel I can say he is the same except for he now has an opinion which is super great!!! So Jace here is to you and the wonderful little man you are. I want you to know how much your dad and I love you, my life has been so much better with you in it and I feel really bad that I waited so long to experience your sweet spirit. I hope that as your parents you will look to us as examples, that you will love who you are and know that we are here for you no matter what!! During this next year you will begin to understand your world around you it will be a little scary at times being that you will take your first steps and try some new foods but as you figure it out you will love what your body will allow you to see and do. I only hope for you to find love for the gospel, be happy, find true love, and live happily ever after.
Love your mommy
Here are a few pictures from the party. Jace loved his cake and he actually ate a lot of it!!! He also loved all is presents and since this was my first kids birthday party I was so amused at all the kids trying to open all Jaces presents!!!! I hope you all enjoy and squeeze your little ones tight tonight and count your many blessings because I really think and truly know that without them life would be very boring.
