This kid loves the park. He goes up the stairs and down the slides all by himself

We were able to go back down to Phoenix to celebrate this little man's birthday. It was a special day to be with his Birthmom and all of her family. Olesia is incredible. Nixon loves her so much! We love them all and are so grateful they are in our lives.

 Ok I think thats it :) We had so much fun celebrating our little mans birthday. He is the most amazing little addition to our family. I can't believe my baby is ONE. I swear he is ONE going on FOURTEEN. This kid is growing and learning things so fast. We laugh every day because of him. We love him more than anything and are so so so BLESSED to have him be a part of our Family!!

 

Our Forever Family

On November 9th we finalized Nixon's adoption. It was an amazing day. We were blessed to have Jesse's parents, my brother and his family and also Nixon's birth grandparents there. 

NIXON'S SEALING DATE on November 12th in the Logan Temple.

 This was such a special day. We woke up to a wintery wonderland in Ut. We dressed our beautiful kiddos  in their clothes that were just as white as the snow falling outside. The spirit was so strong in the temple. We sealed Nixon to our family in the same room Jesse and I were sealed in. My heart is bursting with some much love for my beautiful family. I am so grateful for the miracles that have happened in my life. I am extremely grateful for the sealing power we have so that my family can be together forever!!

 

 Jesse gave Nixon a beautiful blessing following the sealing. We were so blessed to have so many supportive family members and friends to share in our special day. We love you all. During the week I couldn't help but think of our beautiful birth mom Olesia. It is only because of her that we have this amazing little boy in our family. We love her and will be forever grateful for her.

Hoping to Adopt

I have a two darling friends in my adoptive mom group that are trying to add to their families AGAIN through the miracle of ADOPTION :) They are both AMAZING women and I am so lucky to be able to call them my FRIENDS. Remember most adoptions come through word of mouth so if you know of anyone thinking of adoption please keep my amazing friends in mind.

This is Brigham, Sally and their adorable little girl Olivia. You can check out their adoption profile  HERE

Next is my amazing friend Brielle. Here she is with her husband Ben and their beautiful little girl Braelyn. To check out their profile click  HERE

This beautiful women is in my adoptive mom group. She is amazing. She is a beautiful person on the outside and also on the inside. They are so excited to adopt and I hope so bad it happens soon for them. It's amazing people like these two, that deserve the chance to be parents. Please spread the word for them.
