7 years!



Craig and I just celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. I cant believe its been that long sense we were married. These past 7 years have been the most challenging and rewarding years of my entire life. I am so grateful I married such an amazing person. He is the light of my life and my reason for living. I am grateful he was worthy to take me to the Temple and we are a forever family. I am grateful for the example he is to our son. I love you Craig!

Kids grow up too fast!

I just cant believe how fast my kids are growing up! Its amazing to me how much they have learned from me. Ethan is staying a week in Colorado with his grandma! I have to admit I was VERY VERY nervous about it. But I decided to give it a chance. I am glad I did. He is having so much fun bonding with his grandparents! And I am grateful that they get to bond with him. I just cant believe he is old enough to be with out me for a while week! And Elliana has been enjoying the time with me and Craig. She is so smart! I cant believe how much she has learned in the last 6 months! She isnt a baby any more! She is potty training now and doing great! I am grateful for the little family I have!

Growing up!

Things around the Reiher house are starting to get very busy again! Ethan is getting ready for his first stay alone at Grandmas! Its exciting and nerve racking at the same time. He is getting so big! He went on his first Primary Activity without me! He is doing so many things alone. Its such a bitter sweet feeling. I love that he is getting older and more independent but at the same time I miss my baby. Elliana is potty trained!!! YAY!! We are very proud and excited for her! She is talking up a storm. Another bitter sweet situation! I am glad my kids are grown up strong and healthy! Craig started school so we are back on that roller coaster again but more prepared this time around I think for the sacrifices we will have to make as a family. And we are all more willing to do it. What a wonderful time in our home!
Elli tried to dress herself. She did a fantastic job. And then she put on the glasses and said that she was Grandma Reiher. Silly girl!

Ethan finished his very first Tee Ball season. He had a blast! Him and Craig had so much fun together! Craig loved helping out the team! He loved being a big part of it! I was happy he was able to spend some good time with Ethan. It was a good family activity and I am sure its the start of all the cold, rainy, hot, and perfect games that we will endure through our lives! We look forward to it!
