Today I had the opportunity to go to a heart moms appreciation lunch. It was at Gardner Village at the Gathering Place. I met a lot of amazing women who all have children with heart defects. They had Paul Cardalls mother come speak to us about Pauls journey and then Paul played some of his music and then they did prizes. I am so grateful to these women. They give me hope and I don't feel alone when I am with them. We are all going through similar trials and it just makes me feel so much better that I am not the only one and I have someone to talk to about it. This event could not have come at a better time in my life. The past couple days I have been thinking more and more about Brennans next surgery which will be his big repair. I am realizing that it is coming up soon and I have been very nervous but after talking to these women I feel much better about it. I have met some great friends and hope to become better friends with all of them. I just want to thank Carolyn Quigley for everything, she is amazing!

Birthday Getaway
Zoe is to cool to look at the camera. She always gives a smirk and doesn't look at the camera. Brennan all dressed up and ready to go shopping.
Zoe enjoying some yummy sprite before bed.
Brennan all snuggled up after a nice warm bath.
For my birthday this year we went up to Park City and stayed in a hotel over night. We went swimming and watched a movie and then went shopping the next day. Zoe had a lot of fun swimming and it was also Brennans first time. I think he enjoyed swimming but he did get a little blue around his lips.

St. Patricks Day!
For Saint Patricks day we went to lunch with my mom and my sisters and then spent the rest of the day doing hair and spray tanning. I had to get a picture of the kids in their green. Getting them all to look at the camera at the same time is so hard. Don't they all look so cute in green. Brennan and Jaidyn are almost sitting up. I think within the next month they will be sitting up on their own. That is when the real fun begins. Zoe doesn't like to look at the camera either but she does some really cute poses.

Random Pics
Brennan is our little snuggler and I love it. He gets so shy and just snuggles into your chest. I didn't think I could love a boy so much because I love my little girl. My friend Jamie told me that she has a special spot for little boys but I didn't think I would until I got him. He is for sure a mommas boy and Im not going to lie I love it!
Zoe and Brennan love each other. They like to lay on the floor with their blankies and play hide and seek. Zoe can get Brennan laughing so hard. In fact today I was doing the dishes and I heard them both laughing so I went in to see what they were doing and Zoe was dragging him around by his arms and he thought it was the funniest thing ever. I really wish I got a picture of it,
Zoe is now potty trained. YEAH! It is so nice to not have to buy two things of diapers anymore. She has done so good and only has had accidents if i dont hear her tell me she needs to go or if she get distracted. We took her to walmart to pic out a toy and she picked out this beautiful Cinderella dress. She looks so grown up.

Bowling
For my moms birthday we went bowling. It was so much fun and Zoe loved it. She is always asking to go bowling now. Zoe loves her daddy and is always sad to know that he is at work during the day but on the weekends they are unseparable. I cant believe how big Brennan and Jaidyn are getting they will be six months next month.

My kids
I just love these two. They make me laugh everyday. I love how girlie Zoe is and I can already tell that Brennan is going to be a nerd just like daddy. He loves electronics. He is always smiling and I love it.

Valentines!
This year Valentines was amazing. Saturday night we had a yummy dinner as a family and decorated sugar cookies. Randall and I celebrated our Valentines on Monday. Randall gave me a day at the spa. I got a massage, facial and pediure and then we went to a Flemings for dinner and then to the Paul Cardall concert at the Abravenell hall. He had a heart transplant last september and he plays the piano. He had a celebration of life concert. It was so cool to be there and hear about his story. The heart support group that we are in had posters up in the foyer and Brennan was on one of them. We also met some really neat people there that have lost a baby or have a baby with a heart defect and it makes me thankful that we are not the only ones and we have people to talk to about this. It was so fun to get dressed up and go out with Randall. I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines!
