Well, A LOT has changed since our last blog! Ben and I our happy together, and things are going great. True Love always finds it's match. Being young and having a baby and starting a business our stressful things, but the lord always finds his ways to help through tough times!!!
Ben, Tate, and I just welcomed a new baby to the family... Tymber Maughan... It was such a blessing to have my wonderful husband there with me, and such a supportive family! Tate wasn't so sure what to think of it all, but he has been a GREAT big brother.. Both of our kids are born in May.... Tate is 5-18-07.. and Tymber is 5-07-11. Which I think will be fun later on.. I told ben once the kids are teenagers we can all go on cruises together, and have a blast.. haha he laughed.. :) Ben and I are in the process of building a new house. It has been quite the adventure just getting to the point of building, but we need to move on with our lives! Honestly i cant WAIT to decorate Tate and Tymber and the TOY room's !!! I went to Ikea this last week, and there are so may fun Ideas! Anyways.. I would like to say I love my family a lot, and I am grateful that I have a hard working husband that is willing to sacrifice things to make his family happy, and be a good example of hard work. I am glad that my husband teaches us to work for the things we want, and not expect them from people!

So Tate got his tonsils out on Tuesday.. What a tough little guy. I thought it was going to be a bad experience, especially with all else that has happened, but he was aweseome. I was there when he came to, and he just wanted to lay on my chest and sleep. I love him so much, and he is doing so good.

So this past couple of weeks has been a huge eye opener to me. I think god gives us challenges to either fight or to put off. And what we decide to do and how we choose to take on the challenges is our free agency. I feel like I put this challenge of being a single mom, and having Tate be away from his dad on the side. I don't think I gave it the fight and the attention I should have. But life has it's turns, and maybe there is something good to come out of it all. It's hard being away from your best friend, and your soul mate but I know with the gospel and tate in my life we will be able to over come anything. We have a loving supportive family who is here to help us the whole way. I never imagined myself in this situation today, but I guess I didn't try to stop it a whole lot either...

Dont take the things in life that matter for granted. Or the people in life that bring a smile to your face.. You never know when they won't be there to hold you and make you smile... :)

Summer Fun Begins

Tate and his Frog pool. We have been outside every day since he got it.

Tate Eating on His own~!

Tate Had his first Spaghetti eating night, and we ended up sticking him in the tub! And he realized after playing with his grandma susies bubbles in her sink that he needed them in his tub! So now he likes to have a goatee like his dad! What fun he is!
