To my family-

Dear sweet little Briggs of mine- I cant believe in just a few short weeks-week-days I will be meeting you for the first time. Your dad, sister, and I are anxiously waiting to hold your sweet self and wander when that time will be. As much as I am ready to be done being pregnant I am sad to see it come to an end. I have loved being pregnant with you and have enjoyed feeling your kicks and shoves and hiccups. We are so excited to see what you look like and the kind of person you will be and become and what you will do with your life. When I got this picture taken of you I was 35 weeks along and although it was a process finding a doctor since the move to Bountiful I was so anxious to get to see your sweet face again. The last time I had seen it was when I was 21 weeks and thats when we found out what you were goin to be:) Thats even the last time I had heard your heart beat. When I saw your face again at 35 weeks I couldnt help but tear up just lookin at your face... I was lucky enough to even get an ultrasound being so far along with you but we had to to make sure everything was just fine with you! You look so peaceful in this picture and your dad even said that this pic of you reminds him of your Uncle Travis when he was a baby.. will soon find out though what you really look like. I love how cuddled up and cozy you look in this picture. I am so excited for your sister Paisley to meet you and get to hold you. I am sure you have heard her many of times inside of their.. whether it was screaming at the top of her lungs, singing, jabbering, patting my belly saying "baby". I a a little nervous to how she will react to you but I know through time you guys will become the best of friends. We love you so very much and find this such a privelege that Heavenly Father such you to us and that he trusted us with one of his chosen children. Good luck for the time being in mammas belly and I hope you know how much we love you already and cant wait to meet you!!

My sweet little Pea-- where do I even begin with you. Your dad and I cant even begin to imagine our lives without you! We cant believe its already time for you to be a big sister because it just seems like yesterday we were bringin you home from the hospital. You have brought us so much joy this past year and a half and look forward to the many more years to come. Thank you for being the cute little girl that you are. Although sometime you make me wanna shave my head all of you cute smiles and words take that feeling right away! Although I am sad to see this time come to an end with you being our only child and us always being able to come to your every need I am so excited whats up a head for our little growin family. You are goin to be the best big sister ever to Briggs! Its goin to be a little crazy at first but we know you will just fall in love with him and want to help out with him all the time. Thank you for being who you are. You are constantly making your dad and I laugh and we know that will only continue on. We love you so much and we hope you never forget that. Hugs and kisses little darlin!
Dear sweet lover boy of mine- I absolutely love life with you! I couldnt be any happier then I am with you. I have loved living life with you and its been completely different then what I thought it was goin to be but only better! I am so grateful you chose me to be your wife for eterenity and the mother of your kids. You are so so good to me and treat me like a queen! I am so very grateful for how hard you work to provide for our family. I am also grateful for the many challenges and trials that we have faced over the past 5 1/2 years. Those times have really helped us grow together and I know that whatever is thrown our way we will conquer it and overcome it. Thanks for being the best dad in the world to Paisley and to Briggs thus far. I love watching you play with pais and to see her face totally light up when you walk in the door from work. I cant wait to see the things that you will teach Pais and Briggs. I don't know what I would ever do with out you in my life. Even though times get crazy and we get to wrapped up in our little parenthood life I want you to know how amazing you are to me. You still give me butterflies when I see you and still get lost in those eyes of yours. You are my everything and I cant wait to see what else is in store for us. Love you my sweetest babe!

..."I believe in the family where there
is a husband who regards his
companion as his greatest asset and
treats her accordingly;
where there is a wife who looks upon
her husband as her anchor and strength.
The cultivation of such a home
requires effort and energy,
forgiveness and patience,
Love,
and, endurance, and sacrifice;
but it is worth all of these and more."....
