Time Just will not slow down!

This is more of a Journal entry for My Hannah Bea who is 15 months Today!
(beware of length and lack of organization, I am not poetic or a great writer, i just have to get it down someway or another, or it will never happen)

What a fast time it has been, and when i look back i can not believe that Hannah has not always been in our life (all my kids for that matter). Miss Hannah has only been in our family for 15 months... we can still count the months!, But i feel like she has been mine -forever!

I don't know if it is because she is my girl, or its in her nature, or she is just my miracle, but this Baby girl of mine, is Heaven. I truly adore every moment with her, and have since birth. I love feeding time, she is just the cutest eater right now... I love her when she wakes up in the mornings, snuggle time, I love her active exploring time, I love her nap times too... I love to watch her watch Her BIG brothers! Hannah just gets a kick out of them. And the boys are loving how interactive she is getting too.

Hannah loves to smile and give kisses. she is starting to understand how to make people laugh, which is so fun to see her being silly. it gives her so much personality. OH, and she listens so well.
She understands so much. i could say to her "want to go change your diaper"...and she stops what ever she is doing, does and about face and beeline for her room. first time she did this was about a month ago, Jaron and I laughed, because we didn't know where she was going, and then were floored to see her waiting at her changing table...and we thought, NO WAY!
She is starting to say all kinds of words, or at least attempting them. Which counts for me. Hannah has been saying for a while now, "baba, mama, dada, hieee" but has added, " shooo (shoes), diepa (diaper), and wipsss (wipes), Hiya (hyrum)". It is just the best to see the development.


She just brings so much love and joy into our home and i could not imagine life with out her here with us. I honestly thank my Heavenly Father multiple times a day for our sweet Princess. I am amazed at her gentle sweetness, that just pours from her. And feel many times throughout each day that we do not deserve such pure joy and tenderness. But I know that the Lord loves us, and has Trusted us with these tender spirits. And i am grateful everyday for his Trust!...

Love you my Hannah Bea, thank you for being in our Family!

Happy Birthday Hyrum Grant - 6 years!

When i look back on my own life... it seems that it only truly begun at Marriage... Because everything worth anything has happened on that Day and the days that followed.

I married my Sweetheart and a few years later we were blessed with this wonderfully beautiful Baby boy, Hyrum Grant Speakman, at a good 9lbs and 6oz.
