Welcome Baby Salway! Our newest nephew...

This little fella' was born yesterday Friday the 27th of February at Jordan Valley Hospital.
He weighed only 5 lbs and 7 ounces and was barely 17" long.
Last we heard they "think" they are going to name him Crew Davis Salway but Brody is still an option. We will let you know when we do. We are so happy that everything went so smoothly and can't wait to hold him again. Jaxson was so excited all day long. One day he will make an excellent big brother (no still not pregnant promise)
Here are a few snaps. You can't ever get excellent pictures in a hospital but they will suffice for now I plan on raiding them for more pictures with the other cute Salway kids soon.
Enjoy!

look at his face in this one. Oh melt my heart they are so adorable!

Valentine's Day

We had a lot of fun this Valentines. We didn't bother trying to find a babysitter but let Jaxson join in on the fun though after ALL that fun we did put him to bed early. He had a little too much sugar and was off the walls.

Jaxson got a new book (I wish that I had duck feet) which is Matt's all time favorite kids book and of course some spiderman chocolates. He also happened to get a new pair of shoes which weren't exactly for Valentines but came at the same time....so...

Matt got his favorite homemade dinner fettucini alfredo, garlic bread and banofee pie. It was SO good! He also got a fantastic massage and we watched a very less then entertaining movie.?!?

Lucky me got some lovely and quite sweet Valentines notes hidden all over in my clothes pockets. Jaxson told me he loved me cause I was princess leia and also that I taught him how to play pirates and say ARR. (which I did!) Then Matt played the guitar and sang the song 1,2,3 which was probably my favorite gift. I love when he plays for me.

So Valentines was a big hit at our house. Enjoy the pics.

This picture is of our valentines fort. Jaxson helped me make it for Matt. We quite enjoy making forts. I guess we just like to hide out. :D



This is a picture of Jaxson's Valentine's gift to Matt. We traced his footprints and taped them all over the floor. Matt followed them to the fort all the while reading the funny things Jaxson said about why he loves his Daddy. (my personal fav because he has his OWN ninja turtles. ?! who knows?)

Love is....

realizing that you've made a mistake and being determined to fix it
understanding things that others could never understand
being there when things are rough
putting up with things you should not have too
forgiving again and again and again
realizing you are not perfect and the lord will do the rest
finding the small things
caring enough to do the small things
being willing to give up whatever is necessary
never EVER giving up
learning
love is...what you are willing to give

It has taken me my whole life to understand even this much about love. Not just love towards my husband and son but to my family, friends, neighbors, and so called enemies. (which I suppose at times have been all of the before mentioned) I am not a very forgiving person. I don't let people in to my life because of fear and believe me I fear many things. I have resented and been jealous and very UN understanding.

Yes I am a quiet person and I do hate that quality of myself. It is what causes me to hate so many things because I don't get to understand them. I have chosen at times to handle things the wrong way over and over again. But, I finally feel like in the end I have no choice but to love whoever and whatever is staring me in the face.

I hope I can be more understanding. I hope my family including Matt and Jaxson can forgive me for having such a hard time with things and not handling the situations that have occurred these past three years the way I should have. I hope I handle them well and grow from them from here on out.

If I have hurt you I am sorry. I have no right to judge.

I do not believe that love can make all wrongs right. A wrong is a wrong and that can only be fixed with love through the lord. I do believe however, that love is what helps us to ignore those wrongs and to work through them and love despite them.

I hope I can use my love more wisely.

With Love Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentines Day!
