Tender Mercy

This is just what I needed today...I was looking through some old pictures and came across this one. These men sure do hold a LARGE sweet spot in my heart! They're my heroes! I'm so glad they knew each other, even if it was only for a little while. What I would give to go back to that day.

Life as we Willards know it!

Well, since I've been SO bad at updating my blog I figured I could never play catch up and still enjoy blogging. Ha ha. So here is a bunch of random pictures from the past few months. Wesley obviously has us wrapped around his little finger, he is the happiest baby around.
Lately Wes's best friend is my mom's dog, Bella. He gets so excited when she comes around and he pets her as much as she will let him.

His smile is changing into what my mom calls a Cydney smile. His cute little nose scrunches up and it's hilarious.

Wes sure does love his grandmas! They can laugh and play all day long.
We miss Shayden and Shelly SO MUCH! Those "Southerners" only like to come home around Christmas and for weddings...luckily we have one coming up in JUNE!!! Those tall people in the picture below (Tawny and Ken) are happily engaged and are so perfect for each other.
Our little guy started crawling a week before he turned 6 months and a few days later he was standing up to couches, chairs, and tables. When his head hits the bottom of the table like it is doing in this picture he freezes and starts to cry because he is STUCK.

Me and my hottie of a husband. He is going to school at the University of Utah now and works so hard at his jobs. We're lucky to see him around 6:00 every night and then it's study time for him. He's SO busy and works dang hard. Love that guy!
Our little angel under the Christmas tree. Check out my "professional picture taking skills"
Unfortunately football season didn't go as we thought it would this year. Drew broke his hand during camp and kinda got replaced in the meantime. Then, with all his family watching at the game at Weber State he was tackled funny and blew his knee out :( he had surgery later on in November and is STILL recovering from that dang injury. Tough guy!
The Bert girls in our footie hoodies on Christmas Eve. SO comfortable.
My littlest sister, Whitney turned 13 on New Year's Eve this year. She is officially taller than me and better than me at playing the piano and playing volleyball. She's so cute and so much fun! She and Wesley have a great time together.
We had to steal a Halloween picture on the Garcia's porch this year. We weren't very festive and didn't carve pumpkins or anything.
Such handsome boys! Wow I am so lucky to have such a fun/adorable/loving/cute little family.
Kailee and Wesser at that dreaded Weber State football game. Kailee cries when she thinks about how bad she misses her little nephew. You'd think she would come see us more.

We have such a cutie. And look how much he already loves chocolate! He's his mama's child FOR SURE!! A few other things that are going on that we haven't taken any pictures of/are looking forward to are:

~I got a part-time job working at LDS Family Services in Layton.
~Drew is looking forward to doing the tough mudder in October (he's crazy)
~The HUNGER GAMES MOVIE (which deserves its own post) was simply amazing. I loved it and can't wait to go see it again.
~Wesley is trying to stand on his own...he's only 7 months, why is he so fearless!?!?
~Going to Tuacahn in June, can't wait to see some Cedar friends and take the little mover SWIMMING!!

So hopefully my next post will happen a lot quicker than every 6 months. Thanks to those who are still following the blog, let me know if you are reading so this is worth it to me. Ha ha just kidding...but seriously.

I vow to be a better blogger!

I have been the worst blogger, I admit it. But I am going to be better. My sweetheart Wesley is doing new things everyday and I can't believe I haven't written anything down. I need to do better and I will!!
