HAPPY BIRTHDAY VAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Words can't describe what a wonderful person Valerie is! She is such a loving and devoted wife and mother. Valerie you mean the world to me and am so grateful to have found you and have you a part of my life. Kim was able to get the family to write their own tributes to Valerie. So here they are!
Happy Birthday, Val! What a great addition you have been to our family. Your wit and charm and sincerity are only a few of your special qualities. Thank you for being such a great wife to Taylor and a special mom to Isaac. We love you and all your family and consider it a blessing to have you in our lives. I love you! Suz********
Val, Happy Birthday!! You are a woman with so many wonderful qualities that I admire greatly. You are someone who always makes others around you feel good. You do things that make others happy and make them feel good about themselves. This is a quality that comes so easy to you, whereas it takes effort for others to achieve. This great quality shows the caring and kind heart that you have. You're friendly, approachable, and sensitive to the needs of others. Your heart is in the right places, but also as the saying goes, "you have a good head on your shoulders." You really do. I think you are so wise and mature for your age. Although now that you are into your "twenties" you are finally growing into your maturity that you've had for years :) You know you are a child of God, you know your potential, and that knowledge you have
of your divine worth makes you so beautiful inside and out. Another thing I love about you is how much you appreciate the little things. I've learned this through your blog and love how the simple things make you happy. You count your blessings and this makes you happy. I love that! What more can I say Val? You're one in a million and thank goodness Taylor fished through all the million and found you! You're perfect for him and perfect for our family. I love you and wish you the best birthday!!Love, Jen & Cam********

Valerie, where do we begin with your wonderfulness?? Seriously, you are one of the most sincere and caring people we know. We are so blessed to have you as a sister-in-law and as a friend. You are a remarkable mother and wife to Isaac & Taylor. You are absolutely stunning, but what makes you so radiant is that you are truly beautiful inside as well. Your smile lights up a room and your warmth is felt by everyone around you. Happy Birthday! We love you! Theran & Kim
See his little Mohawk??
He occasionally does this next face and it is soooo funny. I tried to catch it on camera, but it doesn't quite capture the essence of the humor of it. He opens his mouth real wide and it is just so funny, I love it.
This was on our way home--it was about 7:30 and he was fussing, but I didn't want to give him his bottle too early--he normally goes down at 8. But, we decided to go ahead and feed him and if he stayed up longer than usually, so be it. But after just a few minutes, we looked back and this is what we saw! It was so cute!
This was Isaac's gift to me...so cute, huh?! They did it at daycare and I LOVE it!
