I Love My Family!

Even after 11 yrs of fun, chaos, trials, ups and downs and in through it all there has still been love. I am so lucky to have Ray as a husband!

I love Ray because...

1. I can be myself around him.

2. I love how I feel when I'm wrapped up in his arms

3. I've always had a thing for his green eyes :)

4. Just thinking of him makes me smile

5. His love makes me feel like the best is still ahead

6. I love to hear his voice everyday

7. He has a quirky sense of humor that goes well with mine

8. Those little things he does that always reminds me of how

much he loves me

9. How he always kisses and hugs me whenever we have to go opposite directions

10. His intelligence. Afterall, he was smart enough to fall in love with me ;)

It hasn't just been us in these 11 yrs. Our family was bursting at the seams just a few years into our marriage. 13 months in the marriage came baby #1, Jerrud. Wasting no time, 13 months later came baby #2, Corbin. Just 2 days after our 4th anniversary was the official adoption of our 3 oldest blessings, David, Dustin & Tommy.

I love our boys...

1. because of the look on their faces when they learn something new or make a new discovery

2. because with their differences and how they don't let it get them down

3. because they are so smart and it makes me believe they can accomplish anything in life

4. when they still have those moments like they use to when they were younger, before they hated each other, when one helps another

5. and their love and knowledge of the gospel

6. because every once in a while I hear them use the manners they were taught

and it gives me hope

7. and seeing how they all love to help others whether they need help or not ;)

8. because of the times they are the ones that bring a smile to my face on a bad day

9. and their all their creativity (building, writting, drawing, playing)

10. because if we ever lost even one, I know our family would never be complete again!

I love my parents for raising me to become the person I am today.

I love Ray's parents for raising him to be the man he is today.

I can only hope I do as good as of a job with my own children!

Ray completes me.

Our boys complete us.

As a family we can conquer anything!

I love you Ray!

I love you David!

I love you Dustin!

I love you Tommy!

love you Jerrud!

I love you Corbin!
