Where has the Time Gone?

I guess that I can hold you
One more time before you grow.
And tell you that I love you
So that you will always know.
Please let me tie your shoe again.
One day you’ll tie your own.
And when you think back to this time
I hope it’s love I’ve shown.
Can I help you put your coat on?
Can I please cut up your meat?
Can I pull you in the wagon?
Can I pick you out a treat?
One day you might just care for me,
So let me care for you.
I want to be a part
Of every little thing you do.
Tonight could I please wash you hair?
Can I put toys in the bath?
Can I help you count your small ten toes,
Before I teach you math?
Before you join a baseball team,
Can I pitch you one more ball?
And one more time can I stand near,
To make sure you don’t fall?
Let’s take another space-ship ride
Up to the planet zoor.
Before our cardboard rocket
Doesn’t fit us anymore.
Please let me help you up the hill
While you’re still too small to climb.
And let me read you stories
While you’re young and have the time.
I know the day will come
When you will do these things alone.
Will you recall the shoulder rides,
And all the balls we’ve thrown?
I want you to grow stronger
Than I could ever be.
And when you find success,
There will be no soul more proud than me.
So will you let me carry you?
One day you’ll walk alone.
I cannot bear to miss one day,
From now until you’ve grown.

What a Great Trip!

We were so glad to have Baker and Jana with us last week. Corban and Collin were especially glad to see them. I know that memories were made that will forever be etched on the boys’ minds. It seems like we went everywhere and saw everything, but their time with us went by too fast. I am counting down the days until we will see them again. December will be here soon! Until then, we have the memories! We love you Baker and Jana. Thank you for coming to visit us!

Having Fun with the Blog

As you can see, the blog has undergone some changes. Thanks to my friend Amber, I have become a blogoholic! I have really had a good time playing with the pictures and layouts of our blog!

Salmon Fishing

I'm sure you all have seen the pictures that we posted of our fishing trip last week, but I just had to tell the story of the one and only fish that was caught. We decided that we would take Baker and Jana salmon fishing at one of our church member's house. Having never been salmon fishing before, we had no idea what we were doing. But we made the best of it. After not catching anything all afternoon, we decided go for a hike. While putting everything in the car, I tell Corban, "put up the fishing pole son, we are going for a hike." As he is pulling in the fishing pole, he yells, "Whoa! I got a bite!" He had hooked a rainbow trout! Thanks to Corban our fishing trip was not a complete loss. I have never been so proud in all my life!
