A Boy and Girl with three little girls all their own. Growing together, and falling deeper in love through the experiences marriage, children and life are bringing them. Sometimes medical school, children, and life in general doesn't bring out the best in us, but at the end of the day, we both know we wouldn't trade this live for anything!
Aida was born in 2005. She weighed 8 lbs 2 oz. She was 2 days late, and I was so ready to have her out! She was a little gorilla baby with all of that hair, and by 6 weeks, she always had ponytails! I don't know if it was the hair, or what, but everyone always said she looked much more mature than her actual age. And in fact she still gets that now because she is so tall!

Ariah
Ariah came two weeks early in 2007. She was 7 lbs. I was so worried she would be bigger than Aida, but she was smaller. She is making up now though! She is our chunk-a-chunk, but we love it! She weighs what Aida weighed at 11 months!She is such a joy, but man watch out when she gets angry!

Us
Nathan and I met in 2003. I had moved to Utah to attend BYU, determined to not get married too quickly, mostly because everyone said that would happen! Well I met Nathan 3 weeks after I got there. He was an assistant manager at Famous Footwear, where I got a job part time. He had no say in the hire, but of course he didn't complain! We both knew we wanted to get married, but for some reason it took 21 months! I love to tease Nathan about this, because it wasn't my fault at all that it took that long. But we did enjoy those days, and we sure grew closer together. We got married on in 2004 in the Idaho Falls temple. Sixteen months later we had Aida. Two and half years later he graduated from UVSC. Three years later we moved to go to medical school. Three and a quarter years later we had Ariah.
