Happy Anniversary to us! Wow how fast time goes by. For our anniversary this year we went up to Park City. It was a little bit cold but it was an amazing weekend. We had so much fun, shopping, riding the Alpine coaster and Alpine slide, and enjoying our suite (which had its own personal hot tub on the deck) It was a much needed weekend away. Thanks so much to Grandma and Grandpa Clayton for taking Kaden for the weekend. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Made it... safe and sound
The Alpine Coaster.... it was kinda freaky.

Ten of the Billion things I love about Chris....
1. I love the way he frowns a bit every time he sniffs to open up his nostrils a little wider.
2. I love it when he wakes up in the middle of the night ranting something in Mandarin Chinese...okay so I love it more the next morning than I do that night.
3. I love the sheepish grin he gets on his face when he is trying to hide something.
4. I love what an amazing example he is to me and Kaden of doing exactly what he believes is right. I also love how happy it makes him to serve others. He has taught me so much about gaining joy and love for others through service.
5. I love that even though most of the time he wants to roll his eyes at me, he smiles and just says "yes dear". (And probably rolls his eyes when he leaves the room.)
6. I love what a tender man he is. He is always willing to sit and talk with me or hold me while I cry about something he doesn't understand. He has such a tender touch and I always feel safe when I am with him.
7. I love how handsome he is. He can melt my heart anytime.
8. I love that even when he wanted to go to bed 2 hours earlier he pretends like he isn't tired and wants to stay up and talk until I say I am ready for bed.... (at which point he crashes in .01 seconds.)
9. I love how amazing he is with Kaden. He is such a good daddy and Kaden adores him. Chris is constantly making Kaden laugh, or teaching him a new trick, or giving him pep talks about life, (which is so cute by the way) or changing a diaper, or making Kaden dinner, or in some way taking care of Kaden.... while simultaneously taking care of me. Who said men couldn't multi-task?
10. I love how he loves me. I have never felt so completely loved and accepted. I truly have the most amazing husband in the world. If you don't believe me ask anyone who knows him... I am constantly being reminded by family and friends that they just don't make men as good as Chris is. He is the most selfless person I know and I am constantly trying to be the wife he deserves. I didn't think I would ever find someone who was so perfectly made for me.... but I did.
Happy Anniversary babe. I love you. - Jill

That was so darn sweet. I remember the huge Chris we know now as just a brand new baby, 5 minutes after birth, in my arms. If I remember right I was about 10 years old when he was born. I have always had a special place for him in my heart as well as his siblings. They are more like brothers and sisters than cousins.
And I'm so glad he found you. You are such a great couple. The best is yet to be....
What can I say about Christopher? He was my first nephew and what a doll. I remember going to Alta View Hospital with your Mom and Dad and going home to wait a few more hours and then back to the hospital for many more hours to see you make your entrance onto the earth. You looked exactly like Kaden, had his darling face, sweet personality and were just so much fun to spend time with.
You have been a good and faithful servant of your Heavenly Father and I'm sure one of his most elite and chosen spirits.
Thank you for your hugs and "I love you's" You always make me feel so good and I know you are there if I ever need you. Thanks for sharing Kaden with me so now I can be not just a good aunt, but a great aunt. You've given me two more people to love and cherish and I'm looking foward to your new addition.
Always remember how much I love and respect you. You are a giant inside and out.
Chris,
I can remember the day you came into this world. Under the circustances I was pretty scared for you and me. You have grown into such a wonderful man. I am so very proud of you I cannot even express it to you. You hold a very special spot in my heart which you already know. Now that special spot has been made bigger with the additions of Jill and Kaden. I love Jill as if she was my own and you know exactly how I feel about little Kaden. He is a lot like you. Cherish every moment you have with him. Time goes by way to fast. I love you more than you will ever know son. After reading what Jill has written you have become exactly what I wanted you to be.
I love you forever,
Mom
