The Lord Knows Best!!!

Sometimes we think we are not strong enough for the trials that are given, ALL around us there is turmoil, family and friends loosing homes and their jobs...divorce, children born with disabilities, destruction, fear of the unknown future and what life has to offer...But the Lord knows his children, he knows us, individually, best... He blesses our lives with gifts of life, incredible spirits within our world or destruction... the opportunity to be parents to his beautiful children... Heavenly Father allows us to be teachers to his precious children now and in the world to come, regardless the circumstances. He loves us so much and only tests us for our own gain and understanding, even if we feel weak and terrified of the outcome of the trials we are given! Be strong, and have faith, you are never alone...He is just waiting for you to place your hands in his and walk by faith! We, you and I, chose our time to come to this earth, to face the trials we said we were strong enough to handle...now it is time to face the music, stand tall, smile and remember a Loving Heavenly Father is, and will always be in control...He will not ever hurt you, He will never test you beyond your capability, He is always there for you... we just, we must be strong enough to get down on our hand and knees and allow him into our homes, our hearts, our lives...After all he is the ultimate teacher!

To all of my dear and precious family and friends who face the unknown future, called life... I love you and am there for you in your time of need, in my heart and prayers, I am only a drive away, and a phone call near by... I am sorry for your fear and grief and truly wish I could take away some of the immense pain you feel in your trying time of need. My heart truly hurts for you and your loved ones...I wish I could wrap my arms around you at this very moment and show you the love I have for each and every one of you, if only that could be enough to help you get through these difficult times...I do not know why we are faced with the difficult trials in this life, I only know that with time we only become stronger...Please don't hesitate to call or get away if you EVER feel a need. Somethings will never be understood until we meet our maker...so take life minute by minute, hour by hour, remember to breath...this too shall pass..."He never said it would be easy, he only said it would be worth it" Please be strong, my dear family and friends and let me know what I can do to help or ease your pain in any way!

I miss you all so very much and love each one of you a great deal, you all have supported Arthur and I in so much...Thank you please keep in touch...Our prayers are with you always!!!

Moms--baby recap--Addy was born on Monday October 3, 2006 at 4:27am! She weighed 9 pounds, 8 ounces and was 20.75 inches long! After pushing for only fifty minutes she was in my arms and I couldn't believe it! EVERYTHING was soo new and scary, but it was amazing how things just started to fall into place and every other seconds we were laughing and smiling at all the new things she quickly was learning, smiling rolling over, sitting up, hiccuping, laughing, walking, talking, teeth, dirty messy diapers! The list goes on forever but it is amazing all we have been through in just a short time and all off it simply AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL!!!!

We Love you ADDISON MAZEY HATCH with all our heart and would not be as happy as we are if it wasn't for your incredible love and sweet spirt that has embraced both of us, Thank you for your loves, hugs, cuddles, smiles, words and JUST YOU!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Quick trip to Az... AGAIN!!!

Well Art had another 4 & a 1/2 days off after his rotation so we wanted to come down again to celebrate Addies 2nd birthday! She was soo excited to see Nanna and Papa that once we got in town she stayed up till 3am too excited to sleep, YES it was a long night! She is able to climb out of the porta crib which makes for a crazy couple of days because of lack of sleep all around! She just loves seeing and playing with her grandparents and cousins! On Sunday my parents had a family get together and we sang to Addy it was soo cute she was blowing soo hard to get the candles out, but she did all by herself! Afterwards everyone wanted her to get the first bit so she dove in with her mouth to taste the frosting on the cake, pretty funny!

We were able to get a date night withsome of our great friends Matt and Ashley Harris, Again Happy 7 year Anniversary you two!! We ate at the cheesecake factory and hung out chatting for a couple of hours at their place! It was great catching up! It is great being able to get together with friends and family, our trips are so quick it is difficult to set things up at the last second and Matt and Ashely were grashious enough to share their night with us! I will post my pictures when we get back to vegas!

Slacking, I know! Sorry...

Well Addy is signed up for 3 different classes currently and this week is a little crazy but so is life right! Art and I got to go on a date to one of his class mates wedding, which was fun! We got to catch up with some of our friends we hadn't seen in a while! Art is just finishing up his last surgery rotation which has been somewhat unexciting and boring... Addy loves her swimming class which ends on Wednesday and her two other classes which are music kidz, and preschool, both are 45 min. long one, day a week. They are pretty fun they are parent and me classes that are really interactive and fun! Me, I have been staying busy with different friends, hair and the day to day grind that passes the days along! Life is better all of us were sick for a little over a week so that takes up a lot of time and well we are all better which is fabulous! Enjoy the pictures they were from our trip down to Mesa, Addies last day at her summer swim lesson, some more pictures I found from the trip to Pine top and of couse our favorite friend Paisley! I am trying to catch up on the picture thing since I have been slacking so they are a bit out of order sorry, but ENJOY!

On Sat. we took a couple of friends to breakfast out at the Coffee Cup in Boulder City, Everyone's food was great and afterward Art and I tried out a new park, it was really nice, duck pond, water area, playground, bmx track, and lots more! I went to nursery with Addy on Sunday, and had some friends over to watch a movie. Monday Addy started her swim lessons with her little friend Sam, and on Tuesday we had a quick surprise visit from Arts mom which Addy just LOVED and was soo sad to see her go the next morning...We were able to go out to dinner and have a nice evening with her! We all are sick unfortunately and are hoping we didn't get grandma sick, I went around and spraid Lysol Disenfecting spray, YUCK! Other than that life is great and we don't have too much going on besides that! We love you all and will chat with ya later!
